Thanks a really nice miniature mate, where can I get one?

This will fit into my collection nicely!

Original figure sculpted by Antonio Zapatero

Where can we buy it from?

This I'll probably buy!! I'm on the Romeo One...Both of them together would be nice...Thought I think they are form different regiments...but they can be together as well right?!
My only reserve, it's the face... it could be better for 75mm.

Steve at http://www.skminiatures.co.uk/ does them mate, He'll sort you one as soon as they are released to him

Cheers Steve.

I like this one.

It's a super figure, but I think there's some confusion about the Regiment. The Buffs are the 3rd Foot, had buff facings, and a green dragon on their ( buff fronted ) cap . But this cap appears to be that of the 8th King's Regiment , with blue facings and the horse in a wreath .

Love the figure but not being well versed in SYW/FIW, please pardon my ignorance. The title and the presence of a gorget reflects an officer, however, did 18th century officers carry a musket?

Dont think so mate, but if shit hit the fan and I was living back then. I would of certainly picked one up.

Very nice figure
I like it and asked a local shop to get one for me ... oh yes I like to provide job to a local, so he will have money to buy what we produce and my chidren and grand children will have a chance to have a job in the future . So giving a local disti name ( like SK ) in your country.. I appreciate .

Best to all

Officers used to carry muskets in those days.

Thanks Mike. Looks like I will be adding one of the two (Romeo) to the Grey Army. Can never have too many

That's a really fine piece of work; it's all good but that right hand is awesome.

Good to see the photos of the master as well, I like the face much more than in the painted example.

OmG I answered this and it disappeared before I could post it. Long--short:
@Tony: Yep. but I'm pretty sure that the sculptor, though not the painter, had access to Kiplimg and King. The back is certainly from the Buffs as portrayed in pl 7 of that work, but the painter got the color(s) wrong.
@Paul. Good question. Regulations in 1743 updated the pole weapon of a company officer from the half pike to the spontoon. see pl. 7 fig. 19 in Barthorp's British Infantry Uniforms. and discussion, p.36. This figure, though, is almost certainly taken from a well nigh unimpeachable source, The Thin Red Line by the Fosten bros. You will find the illustration in the middle of Pl. I, complete with fusil.
I agree with Einion that this a splendidly posed and sculpted piece, and the problems with the painting can be readily corrected.

Hope this helps.
