Hi gang, Like title says, i'm trying to find some 10/12mm
FFL figs and haven't found any…yet.
I'm told that Pendraken is "in blue turned back
greatcoat with full packs" so not what i'm looking for.
Anything else? |

You might want to widen the scope to look for French FPW line infantry, as well. You'd need to paint the kepi white, and do something for a neck covering (fashion one out of putty or green stuff, or just paint the hair white, if there isn't much detail.

What are you looking for? Did you mean to post this on the WW2 board? Old Glory recently released a new line of FFL, including a fort. |

I'm assuming you mean for North Africa? There are no true free French or FFL out there (a shame if you are interested in Bir Hakim like me) unfortunately. You could use 8th Army figures as most wore the tin helmet in North Africa. If you feel really adventurous, take some 8th army and do some head swaps with the kepi. Probably a bit fiddly in 10/12mm though. |

I was going to suggest that in 10mm there are going to be any differences that matter and you could just use regular WWII troops. |

Well to make a long story short, i plan to use my
incoming ww2 French for"both side".
First during the German invasion and second for Vichy
troops in north Africa.
But it appears that a lot of the Levant(Syria, Lebanon…)
and North Africa Vichy French were made of colonial troops
AND Foreign Legion, both not looking too much
like typical French troops, hence my question about
FFL..
I could ask the same about colonial troops, but i thing
using WW1 French colonial troops should do the trick… |
