Hi guys
Its good to be able to share my look at a release from Black Pyramid Gaming which was announced here on PF
http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/tales-from-the-raj-tommy.80344/
and in social media .
The subject or should I say subjects are based on the famous picture here by the artist Richard Caton Woodville
Depicting a british soldier or "Tommy Atkins" rescuing an Indian soldier from the hordes of the enemy in the NWF.
Tommy has of course been well versed in the poems of Rudyard Kipling ,this book is of particular interest with wonderful illustrations by Bryan Fosten
Wearing the Slade Wallace webbing , this had many variations , some versions were specific for the Rifle Regiments in black ,the wounded soldier is carried on the back with determination by the former.



Books are readily available I have included some great ones on the Indian Army as well



Details of the release is as follows:
Title: Tommy
Size: Approx 80mm in height (about 1/12th)
Material: Lt Gray Resin
No of pieces: 8
Sculptor: Steve Leadley
Box Art: None available
Released by : Black Pyramid Gaming
The sculptor Steve Leadley has painted a version which we will see later
Parts consist of the main 2 figure torsos , 2 arms , 2 heads , 2 pouches , and a base
All were held in a clear bag secured in a plastic fold over container, also included was a small insert with the series title on it
.
Prep
Torso(s)...Slight sanding underneath
Arms ...Slight Sanding and test fit
Heads...As with Arms
Pouches...fit to belt on carrying figure
Base...Fit in place if you choose to us
Notes:
1.This has been carefully thought out for when working on it so its advisable to check the fit is accurate then paint both the heads and arms and fit once you have completed the painting on the main body
2.The Indian soldier has shoulder chains , no button has been sculpted ( seen with and without ) but if you wish to add then Steve's advice is to simply drill a pilot hole and use a pin to secure it in place ....the pin head making the button ...sorted!!
