Quartermaster Bloomfield

    Another purchase from Figureworld North, this is a figure sculpted by Mike Blank for Richie at 1879 Miniatures. It represents Peter Vaughan’s portrayal of Quartermaster Edward Bloomfield of the 24th Foot in the film Zulu Dawn. It’s a cracking piece and a great likeness of the character. There are two ammo boxes included in the kit, a closed version and the open one which I’ve used here. It was a real toss up choosing between this and Richie’s new Buller figure and the trooper of Native Horse in the act of firing his carbine.

    Thanks Nap. It’s a great likeness to the film character. It was good to see the other new releases from Richie in the flesh and they were certainly of a similar quality.

    Very nicely painted and presented Neal.
    Peter Vaughan's face is unmistakable (well done Mike on the sculpting).

    Cheers,

    Dear Friends
    Lovely to see this one painted, you did a great job Neal!
    I really enjoyed doing this figure, but I must admit that I did not sculpt the head :unsure: , it was scanned and sent to me as a resin casting.
    And a terrific likeness it is! :)

    Hi Neal,
    I remember saying to Mike you have nailed the character with the stance and you have illuminated Mike's sculpt with a stellar paint job.
    Love it.
    cheers

    Thank you Mike. Loved the pose and that’s what drew me to this figure amongst the other new releases from Richie.
