    As I said, the Holy Grail of DF Grieve figures. I sold mine years ago and have been looking ever since. Nearly ordered 5 of them. Great piece 30 years ago and hasn't aged a day. Thanks for the reboot!!

    Not my thing but always good to see lost classics get given a new lease of life.

    I love the DFG range and they did some great stuff. Glad I still have a number of the originals in the GA and the finish and packing is second to none.

    I'll bet the recent coronation prompted the requests. Upon seeing these uniforms, this figure immediately sprang to mind. A classic in every sense.

    I’ve painted the grenadier guard 1751 a true classic still stand up well today. Have a couple of the 65mm in the stash nice to see they might be making a come back.

  15. Yes full range 90mm and 65mm
  16. The Drum Major i think was early 90s, will check as all bases in the master are dated.
    I became friends with the Drum Major David used as the basis through my RM time.
    I knew David from when I was a small kid from shows and still have contact, I never thought I would be owning his work, I must post pictures of his masters in a different section, they are all sculpted in metal and solder.

    Now ,that’s wonderful to know….
    I will be waiting eagerly to get what I miss from the collection.
    Some of his kits are/were produced by Debra Raymond, Fort Duquesne, Hawk and Bonaparte’s while some others were never reissued…..
    At some point , maybe 2-3 yrs ago David Grieve started producing some busts I believe ( i remember an RHA officer) but i think this project stopped .
    Please keep us informed on kits that they will be released and dates!!!!!

    This is great news. What about this one?

  20. I bought the Debra Raymond range including the 5x 90mm, Drum Major, the 5 guards busts, HMQ on Burmese and the Waterloo 100mm, I sold the Waterloo 100mm to Hawk who now produces them.

    The 65mm range I have acquired from Bonapartes to release this year.

    Davis also sculpted a new Blues and Royals and Lifeguard bust for me a few years back, all these I am gradually adding to my website again and the new ones.

    Yes David sculpted a couple of busts for himself, a RHA and Scots Grey, I haven’t spoken to him for a while so not sure if he is adding to them.
