Terrific painting as ever, Vitalino, - although I'm not too sure about that stuff spilling from the fallen jar.
What is it...?...or perhaps it's best not to ask, for they fill jars with some weird stuff in North Africa.

Hi Mike

is a kind of spice from the Algerian region
and the jar too

Nice colours ( you caught the 'red' exactly)....... but probably tastes like unrefined napalm..........

Vitalino, Great post on new Troop 54. Great looking figure. Excellent painting and staging of the figure too I believe this was done years ago by Chota Sahib. I have the casting in my gray army. Would love to see Troop 54 do the Carlist War period and a figure of the FFL wearing the colorful beret. Once again awesome painting and staging. One of my favorite subjects and finished pieces in months!

Foreign legion is a theme that I like a lot and this figure is excellent
