'A Gentleman in Khaki' - Boer War Soldier

[Neil Merryweather]

Definitely different moulding from Neils figure.

Cheers,
Wabble

it's also about twice the size and twenty or thirty years(at least) younger.....
I think Steve's might have been made by Roll Call

Looks very nice Steve. Why they don't just accept that you can't successfully make things like gun barrels and slings from resin. Much better to provide a metal barrel and instructions to make a paper? sling.

Hi Jim, I think is cost and logistics. They will need to outsource another two more specialist in casting metal and laser cutting to make a whole package. Customers nowadays want everything handed to them on a silver platter. :smiling6:

Sorry for the slight hijack , but I thought this would amuse you all

The bloodstains are actually my own blood, an opportunistic application when a knife blade snapped (I must have been about 16 at the time).
I think it was made by New Hope Design (probably NOT a reference to a certain space film franchise, given it must have been the early seventies).
Carry on please, Steve
