Earlier this year we were contacted by Elena Galesso
who lives in Malfalcone near Gorizia, North East Italy. She was seeking
information regarding the WWI Battle Signs worn on LF's uniforms and the
occasional use of a representation of the Primrose Hackle on war time
helmets. Elena is a model maker of extraordinary talent and her latest
project was to be a model a WWI LF from the 15th Bn. She promised to forward
photographs of the completed model. It was made from a white metal kit
from Andrea Miniatures and came unassembled and unpainted. Elena hand
painted it in acrylic on assembly and it stands approximately 55mm in
1/32 scale. (just over 2 inches). I think you will agree that the finished
model is exquisite and the detail outstanding. Elena lives in an area
of Northern Italy which she says is steeped in WWI history all around
her.
