Lt French Foreign Legion - Elite Miniature review

[Guy]

MG70-28
Lieutenant French Foreign Legion, Algeria 1837
Sculpted by Mike Good
Painted by Jose Hernandez
70mm white metal
8 parts

Mike Good has created another masterpiece for Elite with the French Foreign Legion Officer. Although not my usual subject I had to have this figure and paint it. Coming in their sturdy white cardboard box with the painting reference photos on the outside sleeve the parts were sandwiched between foam to insure against breakage. A complete color guide is also included in text to help the painter as well.

The kit is comprised of 8 white metal parts with minimal seam lines and all can be easily removed with file or xacto knife.

Above are the 4 views of the upper torso with the arms and lower legs cast separtly.

Above is the left arm and hand showing the finely detailed hand.

Above is the right arm holding the sword.
