Early War French Dragons Portee / Motorcycle Reconnissance Troops

The ongoing Early War French project continues with this set of 3D printed Dragons Portee/ Motorcycle Reconnaissance troops. While my preference is for metal miniatures I have been really impressed by the high quality of recent 3D sculpts. To be honest these guys look better than their 3D renders.

Some of the main things I look in a figure range are an animation and character and these lads have both in spades. I am very grateful to Jason at Danger Close Studio for rescaling them to 20mm so they fit in with my existing mix from the Early War and CheckPoint Miniatures ranges. 

It is great to have a mix of uniforms and  poses to represent an ad-hoc unit or even  a Group Franc force to provide great level of versatility to my Early War French. These figures can fit in to a British Expeditionary Force force as an (un)reliable ally also. 

Because they have been scaled down form 28mm my only concern is the strength of the resin on the extremities such as rifle barrels and waving hands &c. Although they survived the painting table okay. This has not always been the case even with metals. 

I look forward to getting them on the table next month in the first game of the 'Many Rivers to Cross' Campaign.
