In fact one of them is a dead ringer for Djimon Hounsou (sp?) aka the black chap in Gladiator! Then again, suitability is in the eye of the individual!Ritter von Krautheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968609436115962418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966507607859894129.post-60157923962179927222013-12-13T12:25:23.392-08:002013-12-13T12:25:23.392-08:00I am sorry to have angered you, but with respect I...I am sorry to have angered you, but with respect I do find your depiction of Senegalese faces to be overly caricatured. This may be a cultural difference between what constitutes an acceptable level of caricaturization, French and British attitudes are deeply divergent on this issue.<br /><br />That being said such judgements are entirely in the eye of the beholder, and I encourage anyone considering buying Senegalese troops to compare the work of Woodbine Designs and The Forgotten & Glorious Company of Art and make their own decision.'Mad Bob' Emmersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171739770784766592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966507607859894129.post-83406494492649076002013-12-13T03:03:30.920-08:002013-12-13T03:03:30.920-08:00You should be ashamed to say we are rascists !!

Your words angered me so much !!<br /><br />We tried to render the better possible the different facial features of this proud fighters and we were praised for that: now our figures are displayed in WW1 french museum in Meaux near Paris and french Ministre de la Défense was amazed by our work just as french Tirailleurs Sénégalais veterans. <br /><br />Look at woodbine figures: they do not look like Africans at all: so who is rascist ? Someone who depicts things as they are or someone who make African looking like European ?Making Gurkas measuring 6 foot tall ? <br /><br />The lack of knowledge is the beginning of rascism and it is too present in wargaming.<br /><br />Your words are not those of a Gentleman and you should remove them.<br /><br />macbride72@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662237117363464462noreply@blogger.com
