Just going to build this for someone who s just joined the Coldsteam Guards, ( in basic training now )so when they graduate I will then give it to them. I will be getting a plaque to put on the base when completed. If it's good enough.

Looks good (i bet the fit is better thsn the 1/12 Airfix kit) and i know you'll do it justice.

Be sure to get the buttons, badges and plumes right.

Thanks Rick. I was going to stick with the buttons as they are, ( Grenadier Guards ) but I've just had a thought sand the buttons off and use small drops of super glue placed into small hole were the Coldstream Guards buttons would be. That's two buttons one above the other then a gap then two buttons one above the other and so on. It will mean re-painting the front of the tunic.
