Hello Folks

Sculpted by Maurice Corry for me is this 120mm scale resin figure of a WW1 british infantryman in the reverse arms position. It was initially designed for the cold cast bronze market but I have a few kit versions available. These are on offer to PF members at £30.00 per kit which includes postage in the UK. Postage for overseas is an additional £5.00

Payment is by Paypal via Friends & Family using my email gordonmi@hotmail.com
When making payment please add the message 'WW1 reverse arms' along with your address.
Cheers

Very poignant Gordon ...lovely figure......Mike

I used to walk past a bronze version of this every day to and from high school.....very evocative and poignant.....

A very poignant and appropriate figure for 2018.

A moving figure Gordon.

Cheers

Very beautiful figurine, still finely carved and in a very respectful position. Another masterpiece of Master Corry

I was going to do one of these in 200mm in 2014, but no-one seemed interested. I hope this does well.

Mike

This is a stunning piece and very poignant as already mentioned.

200mm would be very impressive Mike. As we both know it's knowing how many sales you could count on to justify production which is a problem for all kit producers.
Ive attached some pics I did of a bronzed effect version

Looks superb. I would add the poem - "They grow not old as we that are left grow old........" as an option.

I like the idea of the badges Kev but I think the old regimental cap badges would be hard to get now and they have changed quite a bit over the years. I'll check it out.

Where is this one Steve? There must be hundreds throughout the UK.

It's in Stone, Staffordshire, Gordon - at the top of the High Street, opposite the Crown and Anchor and in front of what was the Post Office, which is now a Weatherspoons!! When I was at school, there were 22 pubs between school and home.....!!

Hell of a pub crawl. Happy Days Steve!

Hi Gordon,
I love that piece as a bronze very, very effective a stand alone piece in it's own right. Gives loads of options for basing up as a war memorial tribute and various weathering options. Mate contact the British Legion and various other museums and I'm sure you would have no problem wearing out moulds as a cold cast version. Love it.

Now do a Victorian version with a Home or Foreign Service helmet.
cheers

P.S. a Senior Service version would be great too. I would definitely buy one of those as a cold cast. There's your first order mate.

Thanks for this Richie
I won't be getting directly involved in the cold cast bronzing but its a great idea and I will pass this on.
The Royal Navy does not seem to get much attention on war memorials and the only statue I remember seeing is the one in Keighley which is miles from the sea. I know the RN Divisions fought in the trenches alongside army units.
The Victorian version is not a bad idea buddy.
Might see you at North Shields on Sunday?
Cheers
Gordon
