    Hi All,
    Well I have always wanted to do this, so here is my first figure release:). The figure was sculpted (and cast) by Steve Readdie some time ago and I pestered and pestered him to finish it. I asked Steve to sell me the master figure because I just loved it. Thanks Steve, too long has this sat collecting dust.

    The figure is titled "The Noble 24th" because that is how I viewed the look and pose. Incidently Norman Holme also published a monumental work that took him approx. 30 years titled The Noble 24th accounting for virtually every soldier from the 2nd Warkwishires 24th Regiment of Foot from the Zulu Wars.

    The 75mm figure cast in 8 grey resin parts, depicts a private of the 2nd Warwickshire 24th Regiment of Foot and has the valise webbing.

    I can offer this as a standard resin figure or if you are looking for that monument/statue look in cold cast bronze. I have attached both version that I have done. I have slighly burnished and weathered the cold cast bronze look. I also roughly chopped a piece of mahogany and painted it to look like a blue granite.(base not included)

    At the moment I only have a small quantity of the resin figure, but if you would like a copy, please feel free to contact me. The figure is free world wide postage and priced at £32.00.

    Apologies for the photo's but you should all know me by now.:D

    cheers
