Merry Christmas to all, including Legionaires!


3 days at Christmas and I would like to do so my best wishes to all of you who share my passions and, why not, I would do it with photos of one of the first battles rebuilt for fans of Lucca Comics.
I know, as a Christmas card miss the snow, but it is still dedicated to all those who love this hobby.

 Here's my version of the Legionaries of Marcel.

Immersion method in the Army Painter

Line of fire.



The lords of the desert.

Horses are my weakness ...

The Arabs are preparing ...

The village of the ambush.


I don't like the immersion, this is the first and last time. after I return to classic paint methods.
From the rooftops the devastating attack.


The cavalry arrives behind.

the hand is not mine, sorry ...
Toy soldiers are Armies in Plastic.
I love old movies in black and white, perhaps the age? Remember Beau Geste with Gary Cooper?


The situation is now serious.


Legionaries to the charge!



Good times! The classic adventure, I understand Marcel!



How will it end?
Of course, even with my best wishes from Italy:

Vrolijk Kerstfeest en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar !!!

    First of all, me too like to WISH EVERYBODY HERE IN THE BLOG A MARVELOUS CHRISTMAS TIME AND A BLESSED 2015!
    And what a fine piece of war-game adventure you've presented again, Massimo. You are right, the Foreign Legion is 'old school' heroism. It is THE prefect party to choose when you're a 'preferred underdog war-game player'. They seldom win a conflict. I am afraid that this faith is hanging over your 'ambush' too. The massive amounts of North African tribesmen, their mounts and positions (on all rooftops). I'm experimenting with the dipping paint jobs too. I use Vallejo, but it works the same. So far I'm not happy with the result too. Hope to get the hang of it because you can get nice results for rank & file troops. I think it looks good on the Arabs you did.

    Marcel,

    Eerst en vooral , prettige feesten en een prachtig 2015.

    Echt fantastisch mooi werk. Je maakt van het beste wat in 1/32 wordt geschilderd.
    We zullen daar eens iets mee moeten doen op een speldag.
    in het verleden ook gedaan:
