It is the goal. To have an accurate french helmet for the french tank crew of the early ww2

Gentlemen i designed an accurate french adrian helmet modèle 1935 modified for armor crew (my eyes were bleeding seeing the traditional plane pilote genuine lego helmet with glasses on all the amazing WW2 tanks pictures). I needed a french tank to fit my crew inside. I confess, i was on ALI EXPRESS and find a nice R35. it looks good, but it was a huge mistake, so painfull to build( but minifigs stickers was good). But i am a little proud of what it renders with my accurate equipped crew. TADAH.....

hello girls and guys, i add 2 new ones to the collection The french cuirassier Buste cuirassier by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr and the infamous general LASALLE, well known for his quote: "any hussar who is not dead by 30 is a good-for-nothing" (he died by 34) Buste de lasalle by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr Buste de lasalle by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr I hope you like them even if they are not made with bricks.

hi, still working on the imperial grande armée, i present you a first lieutenant of the chasseurs à pieds de la garde impériale. Let's look at the bearskin, which is slightly different than the famous one of the grenadier: it is a little shorter, with no plate badge nor "cul de singe" ( literal translation would be monkey's megablocks, maybe to refer at the red bottom of baboons), the red plate with white grenade at the top.

still working of a butes series Genral Cambronne was the commander in chief of the infantry division of the imperial guard at the WATERLOO battle. He is famous for answering to the suurender proposal of the Brits by "MERDE" (or shit in english), then "la garde meure mais ne se rend pas" (the guard die but never surrender).

Thank you both. yes, i painted them. I used a sculpture technic applying lighter acrylic coats before the last one was fully dry. then, dry brush of gold paint and TADAH...

Hello, i didn't know where to post it, so i try here. Loving lego is awesome, except when you don't have the same tastes that your second half, speaking of living room decoration. I had to remove my minifig army from the bookshelf, my wife was affraid to be attacked by night by some fierce napoleonic tiny hussars. But i didn't give up, wanted to show my love for lego and history, i designed and printed some artistic bustes, reminding minifigs.

thank you. it was my first try to use inkjet t-shirt transfert for cape and flag, i'm pretty happy of this technic

I love military history. And don't take any offense, i was not thinking you were judging. and indeed it seems an unaturally way of carriing at the first sight.

thank you, actually, french procedures are to point forward the scabbard when are not at ease (marching too). during napoleonic wars , it was already the case, to avoid it to move and to slap the leg when marching. All orders for parade come from this time, when battle were fought in line: "attention (prepare to march, so carry your weapon), forward... march!!!" this is why french (and some other nations) carry their scabbard like that.

it is in the regulations of the french army, when they are presenting to the commander.

gentlmen, i'm proud to show you my last creation, a french modern spahis wearing parade dress and his pennant. French modern spahis by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr
