The French Explorer

This figures came from the same set as the Running Musketeer  from Brigade Games

First up is an odd figure the other two from this set look 17th century but this fellow other than his rapier clearly belongs in the 18th Century.   He's clearly some sort of explore with his staff to help him traverse the wilderness.

I painted him in colors common to French colonial troops.  I can't help but feel this fellow is inspired by the movie Brotherhood of the Wolf  which is worth checking out as gaming inspiration. I think He will find use as part of my Seven Years War En Garde War Band, though that one isn't sing the table as often as the others.
