Goumiers
Again part of the care package sent by Bill Krieg, three Goumiers from Ian Clunie`s Shellhole Scenics range.
Now i don`t actually have a dedicated Goumier force, I have Moroccan Rif warriors (no sub-machine guns or helmets, etc) and I have Moroccan 7th Division cerca 1943 - mostly French 1940 kit, some of whom wear Djellaba. I was therefore forced to do simple conversions on two of these, I removed the 2" mortar off one and replacing it with a rifle and then I pruned away the Sten gun off the grenade thrower and grafted a rifle in its place - not too bad I think. All three can now happily join either group.
Nice work Richard. Carl

ReplyDeleteCheers Pat, I`m a huge fan of Shellhole Scenics and Raventhorpe too, but their use of the internet leaves a lot to be desired in the C21st. I`m just sorry my painting doesn`t do the figures justice.
