    Hello,

    Here's the Andy Cairn's bust of a French Para in Indochina, that I modified by adding a "Bigeard cap" instead of the original helmet. Thanks for looking.

    Hi Joel ,


    Like the camo on this and the conversion you have done as well adds a something extra and looks very French

    Thanks for sharing

    PS Perhaps this should be in the Completed part of forum not in reviews ?

    I like the modification. As Kev says, it adds an extra element of "Frenchness" to the piece. It would have been nice to have had the cap provided as an option with the bust.

    Hi Pascal,

    The caps were not worn that way for most of the time . Look at the attached pictures.

    Hi Adrian,

    Are you painting the same figure ? If yes, please post some pictures, I'm really interested in seeing someone else's rendition of this figure.
    Thanks,
    Joel

    Yes I got the same figure - like your hat though so I may have to steal your idea.
