CBG is for Cracking Barracks Get-up!

Also at the May Sandown Park show I shot two lovely Minot sets on Adrian's table, this is one of them, it's a modern one, but in the same style used by the company since the 'off', and it is a thing of joy.

The box lid is pretty enough without even knowing what's inside! Set INF 121 Hommes de Corvee, which I assume translates roughly as 'men on fatigues' or men in barracks, but enough of the lid . . .

. . . look at these! I particularly like the guy forth from the left on the top row, I don't know if he's supposed to be cleaning his room, whitewashing stones, hoeing the commandant's rose-bed, or helping with the pig carcase, but he's carrying the most vicious domestic tool I've ever seen!

The rifle rack (contents of small bag) is also a nice touch, the Prussians aren’t going to catch them knapping! Seven poses for a vignette type set with all the playability of a bunch of Swoppet khaki infantry, just no shooting, but rather arguments about who's doing what where, only don't argue with that forth bloke on the top row! Manny thanks to Mr. Little.
