He's carrying an empty scabbard - probably because there's swords as accessories from Castaway if you want to make him an officer. I've added a shoulder board and a sword hilt - that and the bitsa flag were fiddly jobs but less so than a full flag grabbed in the middle - which is do-able, but a pain. The Castaways fit in well with the Askari figures and even more so with the somewhat negroid features - perfect for a North African! Now on to the Spahis - I just couldn't resist - unless of course I end up with pneumonia, then all bets are off!<br /><br />By the way, there are some terrific movies on around Christmas - Spielberg's Warhorse being one I'm looking forward to. Check out my mate Dezmond's blog for the latest: http://hollywood-spy.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-75513740956653800402011-12-13T08:13:31.427+11:002011-12-13T08:13:31.427+11:00French uniforms of the period are so good looking....French uniforms of the period are so good looking.
