Hello,
First of all, I must say it was exciting to be able to work with these figures, being Belgian myself, so I took even more time to research their uniforms and history. This history starts at the eve of the War end culminates in them being pronounced an elite unit by the Belgian king, Albert I.
These figures were a pleasure to paint. The plastic glued easily (with multiple types of glue) and I liked the poses, you see them working to get some speed to the bikes…
Hallo,
Eerst en vooral moet ik zeggen dat het spannend was om met deze figuren te werken, zelf Belg zijnde, dus heb ik meer tijd dan gewoonlijk gespendeerd aan het opzoeken van hun uniformen en geschiedenis. Deze geschiedenis begint aan de vooravond van de Groten Oorlog en culmineert in de verklaring tot elitetroepen door koning Albert I.
De figuren zelf waren aangenaam om te schilderen. Het plastic werkte goed met meerdere types lijm. Ik vond de poses ook zeer geslaagd, je ziet ze werkelijk zwoegen om die fietsen wat vaart te geven.
Hope you like the results!
Sincerely
Brecht Laforce

Many thanks to Mr. Laforce.
