    I now have some complete castings so if anyone wants a pre-release kit they are available from my website, cost £32.00 +10% p&p. Thanks everyone for the positive comments. :)

    Always a pleasure to deal with you Rob. Look forward to seeing your painting of this peice.
    Humbrols seem to be out of fashion these days but you have mastered this hard technique very well!:)

    A shame not to see you at Euro, perhaps they'd do a last minute deal. How about a pith helmet as well as a slouch hat?

        Wonderful figure Rob, I really like this one.With rifle on his shoulder and a slouch hat, hard to beat. When will it be available and how about the slouch hat.
        Looking forward to seeing him painted.

    Do you mean a pose like this:

    WW1 Tommy.jpg ,
    or with rifle slung as in the original posting?

    Happy modelling,

    Rob, looking very good so far, will be watching your progress carefully. Very nice figure.

    Mike A weapon on your shoulder to me means a slung weapon. We were never taught nor allowed to shove it across the shoulder. Only a few ways to carry a weapon apart from parade ground use. In the field it could be slung or more likely a normal left hand carry, or right hand carry with weapon ready at all times.............

    I have seen a couple of photographs of WW1 infantry marching with their weapons as shown. I assume they were not within range of the enemy.

    Best wishes,

    I haven't touched this for a while but I had a bit of a session on it this morning. I have painted the webbing and legs, glued and filled the arms and am ready to go on to the greatcoat. :cool:
