Hi Guys ,

Now you all know I like my busts ....well after having aclean up I found this a while back , it mut be at least 20 yeras old possibly Monarch or Mitre Miniatures ..unsure who sculpted it either , about 60mm scale

So its a full figure (stands back in amazement with mouth wide open) ...a bit of a diversion ...of a Scots Grey Officer 1815 ..its undeniable that sculpting has so improved since this ..but hey I enjoyed doing it ......




Still to be based up ..not sure how I will go with it

Off to paint a bust ..forgive me for I have sinned

Hi Keith ,

Thanks for all the comments ..ref the cap I used a black and white pencil drawing from the book quoted below

In the Almark publication No 8 (Union Brigade (Soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars series by Bryan Fosten) it states on page 106 :

"Caps were soft blue cloth bonnets with bands of the jacket colour with a fluffy red pom-pom on the top.
In the case of the Greys the red bands were decorated with white zigzag"

but he is an officer ..possibly a bit dandyish

..I will try and find out more .

PS ..Yes it does say 55p on the cover !!!!

Keith ,

I presume you are talking of this :

There is a sealed pattern in the IWM datd 1923 (with white zig zags) ..before any amalgmations
