    Hi All,
    This has been one of the many reasons why my big dio. stalled. It is a 200mm half figure of a private of the 2nd Warwickshire's 24th Regiment of Foot. I would like to publically thank my mate, Steve Readdie again for his full support whilst I was making this, a better friend I could not wish for.
    I am going to paint this in between doing my dio.
    cheers

    It's always good to take a sidestep every now and then from a long term project.

    Very nice sculpt with lotscof fine finish and absorbing detail. The MH is a work if art and the anatomy looks very nice....and tense. Great job.

    Did you see the article on BBC that states chimps don't have human rights? I hope you are leading the appeal!?!?

    If he were to be a release the option of a sun helmet would be cool. I love Zulu War figures and this one is really nice. Glad Steve at Reedees is keeping an eye on you he's a great guy. Regards, Brock

    Looking good Richie.
    I can surely understand why you would take a "break" so to speak from your dio to start another project. My help your return to it with renewed vigor.

    Hi Steve,
    Thank again for everything mate, truely appreciated.(y).

    Hi Colin,
    I wanted the head down looking with a 1000 yard stare of disbelief it was over, whilst still gripping tightly to his Martini Henry for comfort.
    cheers
    Richie

    Hi Brock,
    I have no plans to do a second head although it could be a possibility as I have the foreign sevice helmet measurements.
    cheers
    Richie

    Hi Chuck,
    Thanks for looking in mate glad you like him and this might just give me the big kick I need to get back on to the brushes.
    cheers

    Hi Colin,
    Thanks mate.(y)
    cheers
    Richie

    Hi All,
    I've done a quick job on this one in a couple of sessions, as I need to force the drying ready for the weekend. Anyway here is an impression of how he looks. I have also taken a photo of this one next to his cabinet companion. For those interested, I have sorted out some packaging, so I will post this up later in the figure news section.
    cheers
