^ Great post, BBY. All correct and I too spotted the sword in the captain's left hand when I came to paint him. Not guilty, though, since these are all just toy soldiers from the 1960s and I'm guessing that the guy who designed them met his end in a far more prosaic manner and place
The castle? I don't know where it is - it's just a detail from an old painting downloaded from the internet, cut up and wrapped around the inside of a large box for photography. I must make up something different for my French Foreign Legion figures currently getting a makeover, so I guess I should be looking for a painting of Fort Zinderneuf next
