    Hello Huw
    Moz will have the set ready fairly soon and a third set is planned. We'll kick it around after that and try to gauge interest in further sets which is not always easy.
    Try this link to see a magnified version of the painting.

    Lt. Walter A. Dunne wrote a great book on his experiences in service. his first action was Rorkes Drift and he was, I believe , recommended for the VC.
    According to his book, he was the initiator of the "mealie bag wall".
    He was, according to family lore, my great great etc uncle.

    Gordon, great looking set. Is the large base designed to hold part 2 or will that be an interlocking base?

    Moz is working on the next 10 figures which should fit onto this base. After this I will try to gauge interest from customer feedback with a view to possibly extending the scene. It's a great painting with lots going on.

    this looks very nice giordon and a very popular subject as well,so I cant see you having any problems selling these,i take it Gordon the open space on the base is for the next 5 figures ?
    they would make very nice stand alone figures as well

    Another amazing painting inspired project Gordon. I'm really trying to hold back on getting more figs right now but this is putting the pressure on. Can't get to Oundel on Saturday - shame I'll miss seeing it, but the bank will be happy a least (for a little while )

    Hello Brian.
    I have spaced out the first 5 figures on this base which will accommodate 15 figures in total and may add an extension dependant on demand.
    I have been asked for single figures from this and the Roll Call sets which I will release when I get the chance. They do lend themselves well for conversions.
    Cheers
