    Hi All,
    Whilst Rob sculpted the three figures for me, I was working in tandem on another four. I cannot show Commissary Dunne at the moment in with the others as I have mislaid the arms I cast.
    The three figure set is them most trying sculpt I have ever attempted, as trying to hold three figures together is a nightmare.
    I need to tidy up the figures, refine them and then separate them but they are just about there.
    cheers

    They are 54mm (1/30). They have been done in the same scale as the Rorke's Drift set.

    Hi mate,
    Thank you, that three figure set has been on the go for months. Trying to get the relationship right whilst trying to hold them together was a *******.

    Great work Richie. Love the dog. I have the original Mitches version and the dog would be a great addition.

    Hi Ken,
    Thank you mate, this is as much Rob Lane as me, for without him doing the other three superbly sculpted figures I would not have this lot so close to release.
    cheers
