Forged in Battle Early War French Infantry: Review and Comparison

A year ago I bought a French Infantry Platoon in 15mm from the company Forged in Battle that is still sitting in the "pile of shame", today I decided to do a review of the figures

Forged in Battle Early War French Infantry: Reseña y comparación

Hace como un año compré un pelotón de infantería Francés en escala 15mm de la compañía Forged in Battle que todavía está en la "pila de la vergüenza", hoy decidí hacer una reseña de las miniaturas.

Head surgery

I purchased some figure kits from Peter Pig to enhance my British Early War platoon. Among them a 3" mortar pack that I didn't really needed, but the figures might be repurposed for something else. For example, there was a nice folk with a knee on the ground and binoculars that I have already earmarked to be a spotter.

But what I did needed was a Lieutenant and Platoon Sergeant and a Boys Team, all those where really useful, except that the scale was not exactly right with the rest of my miniatures from Plastic Soldier Company. You might not notice it in the first picture, but the difference in the figures is quite noticeable, specially the small helmets.

I decided that with the right heads, the difference would not be so noticeable, so I went in and did some head surgery to the Lieutenant and Platoon Sergeant.

An original Lieutenant, a PSC rifleman and the modified Lieutenant.

Both figures turned out pretty good, and even if they seem that the head is a little big in the pictures, when viewed from the angle you would see them if you are playing, they look alright. 

Now I have to base to do all the process of basing and priming and eventually finish my platoon that hasn't really advanced much since my last post.
