I'm working on a Sword and the Flame French Foreign Legion project and I need a unit of French African Chasseurs, but I can't find any in 1/72(20mm) scale. Strelets makes them but no one seems to ever have any in stock. Does anyone know where I can find some of these figures or even an equivalent set in metal? I have great faith that the TMP faithful will be able to bail me out of my predicament.  Thanks in advance. |

Blackhorse, I checked my usual sources with no luck. Maybe try the sellers links at PSR? plasticsoldierreview.com
With the war in Ukraine and supply chain issues, you may be challenged to find some….but with the GBP and Euro exchange rates right now, finding a source in Europe may not be budget breaker.
Good luck!

I have some BandB 20mm Franco Prussian War Chasseurs d'Afrique that I was going to paint and then found some of the painted Strelets figures you mentioned on eBay. I would be happy to sell them to you cheap. I'm in California, where are you? |

Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated. Nick, it sounds like we can do some business. Drop me an email to alsodan6 AT AOL DOT COM, and we can work something out. p.s. I'm in Michigan |

UPDATE: Nick Stern sent me the B and B Chasseurs, and they were exactly what I needed, allowing me to finish off my TSATF FFL contingent. Once again the TMP faithful ride to the rescue. Good times. |
