Another good box set idea: French Foreing Legion
I was thinking that another great figure box set idea would be one based on the French Foreing Legion.
Here are some pics, the figures would be really cool in 1/18 especially with their "Kepi blanc" removable hats.
What do you guys think?

With all slurs aside, and back to topic.
Keep in mind that the Foreign Legion used US equipment in Africa: Command Cars, Dodge 1 1/2 ton trucks among others. Desert diorama's anybody
My 1/1 Command Car was surplused to France, sent to FFL and after years of use, was returned to the US stocks.. When I was restoring it I found live 9mm ammo behind the seats and a couple in bolt holes in the floor. Whatever it was doing, having ammo rolling around was not common in stored surplus stocks.
I have a rare Dodge book (all in French) with hundreds of Dodge pics, from 1/2 tons up to the M880 series. Plenty of color pics of the FFL, including one very cool pic of a 1 1/2 ton Dodge in the desert with a 75mm recoiless rifle mounted on a pedestal mount in the bed.
Say what you want but the FFL were like our Marines, they used what they got their hands on and used it well.
