    Was in London the other day and happened to land in 'The Iron Duke' pub. Amongst some of the Napoleonic memorabilia on the wall, was the item above. Does anyone know who the manufacturer is and where/if I can get one? To give a sense of scale, the six outer heads are about 120mm.

    Hi Hembo

    That looks an interesting item ..certainly a lot of things to see on it ....what's it made of ?

    Did you ask the landlord if he knew anything ?

    Certainly not seen anything like this perhaps a commemorative piece from a museum ?

    No idea about it but it is a very clever idea for a display.

    Hi guys.
    Thank you for the interest. It had the feel of resin but had a matt finish that gave it the look of alabaster/plaster. Pub staff were great but unable to help. Unfortunately, it was screwed to the wall, so I couldn't get a peak at the reverse to see if there were any manufacturer details. Just to quantify my initial post, the six outer heads look like they were taken from 120mm figures. I wondered if this was something that came out in 2015 for the 'Waterloo 200' anniversary?

    Is it just me or....does that look like a montage of CGS pieces?

    I have a feeling that this may be from Martin Greening.Martin cast the figures for Roll Call, among others and also his own range Resin 8.Martin then changed his scope (very successfully) to creating large Scale bronzed and bicuit Type resin large Scale decorative furniture peices,he incorporated many different sizes to create figure collages and sold these,cast specially for decorative purposes EG. For furniture companies and wholesale antique fairs.This has...for me at least,the hallmarks of one of These created products.

    Hi, Hembo,.....Just been around to a mate of mine, and I noticed among his stuff this very plaque, which he's had for a number of years. It is indeed of a plaster content; His had a slight crack, so he repaired with a metal backing plate. It's about the weight of a bag of sugar, and he's painted the larger two portraits---the rest is white.
    He's getting shot of a few odds and sods, so if you are interested, I'll put you in touch, maybe you can come to some arrangement.

    What I'll do is PM you his telephone number, and you can chat about it. He's not online,has no computer (he's got a TV though!). I keep trying to persuade him, but he's a true Luddite:D
