    One from CGS miniatures that I have just completed today. Uniform painted in acrylics and oils for the face.
    A lovely sculpt to paint form the hands of DF Grieve, scale is 80mm.
    I did add some lead loops to the rear of the figure on the rolled cape, just looked better than the resin one's.
    Thanks for looking.

    Excellent work, Bob. I like what you’ve done with the SMLE, wooden furniture looks great, & the Slade-Wallace equipment is superb.

    Well Bob, you take off your Beret and hold two knuckles up to the circular part of the highly polished grenade badge and the reflection looks just like two buttocks...Bill Brown!
    The other explanation is Bill Brown is a generic name for a Grenadier Guard, a bit like Tommy Atkins or Johnny Cope to a British Soldier.
