This has got to be the best figure ever produced by the talented hands of Mr. Grieve. It's an instant classic for sure.~Gary

This looks very good although the face looks a touch too robust.

BTW, I'd advise anyone interested in it to buy early or examine the casting before purchasing.

I got this figure sent to me by mail last week, and I can attest that it is superb, and one of David's best sculpts and his best figure kit so far
David now does his figures in a good quality light grey-green coloured resin, with only the small parts cast in white metal. I personally think this is not only an improvement over the earlier releases, but also it makes a larger scale figure like this much lighter and easier to handle when you paint it; I found the quality of the castings in my kit to be of the best quality by the way.

Highly recommended !!

Hi David,
Welcome to the trench..,again.Thanks Roc, for share. Very nice Horatio !!!.

Ah, in that case ignore what I said above everyone - I was making reference to Grieve's metal casting.

Agreed. In many ways resin for the main castings and metal for smaller pieces is ideal.

Hi All

I saw this one at Euro Militaire and I can confirm that the castings David had with him were first class. The painted figure looks very impressive, though I agree with Einion, he is perhaps a little fuller in the face than we might expect. Mind you, looking at the various artistic renditions of him, no two of them are entirely alike. I guess the best known one is the William Beechey portrait, although this was done a year after Nelson died. David Grieve's version is perhaps closer to the famous likeness from the painting "The Hero of Trafalgar" by Overend (done in 1898).

Anyway you look at him, he just had to be done this year of all years, and the DFG result is very pleasing.

beautifull new
Grieve is one of my favorite sculptor
Think about more then fifteen years ago, the wonderfull 75mm
and what there was on commercial.
Think how he works on each figure, I think that now with Leibivitz is the last
of an old school who till now goes on to work.
Do you remember Folkston of ,15, 20 years ago!!
