These are brand spanking new from Elhiem Figures. 

They are sculpted to represent motorised/motorcycle troops serving in tropical climates - Syria, Indo China, etc.

9 figures - NCO, FM24 team and 6 carbine armed troops







Posed here with motorcycle combinations

    Lovely work Richard. Forgive my ignorance: but is that a modified solar topee they are wearing or a modified Adrian helmet? I presumed the former but I am a learner when it comes to French tropical uniforms post introduction of helmets. Carl

      Modified topee, though to be honest a lot of photos I`ve seen show the normal leather motorised helmet rather than this type. I`m guessing who ever commissioned these off Matt sent him detailed photos/sketches.
