Zulu War figure - which manufacturer?

[Mat Lambert]

Does anyone know who produced this figure and if it is still available? The one pictured is listed on eBay as Tradition and 6inches tall but can't find anything on web that matches. Wanted to find it new if possible.

Cheers
Mat

It looks like a conversion of this David Grieve figure: http://www.bonapartesmilitarymodels...re-regiment-maiwand-afghanistan-1880-69-p.asp

Definitely a conversion of the David Grieve Figure, with pouches swopped around :-0

 

[Mark S]

Yes, I couldn't quite understand the pouch switch either, makes no sense at all, but it's obviously the same figure, and if so it's 100mm and no where near six inches high.

I think it might be the DEK "last round" figure possibly I will check mine when I get back from work

Close but no cigar (unless it's a conversion) for me

The Monkey agrees with Mike definitely a conversion

Just to confirm what Helm said, this is not the AQM (or DEK as he sometimes traded) figure "The Last Round". This was actually a 75mm figure and was part of a three figure vignette with a wounded soldier offering "the last round" to the standing figure. A drummer was later added. The strange thing is that AQM already had a 80mm version of this figure based on Kipling's writings, sold as "A Gentleman in Kahki". We now own these figures and produce limited runs from time to time. By the way Helm, that's not a bad photo. Do you have any more that we could use for marketing? We still have the original box art which is, to say the least, dated!

Think I agree with you Mike - looks like the same figure for sure.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi Jackie I can easily take more if you need although I'm embarrassed to say I painted it a long time ago and it's not a great paint job drop me a pm with which details of what you want in the way of pics and I'll oblige no problems

The believe the original figure was of a Sergeant, 66th foot at Maiwand by D.F Grieve.

great pose , good to see its still being produced./badger

 

[martin tabony]

I believe this is the original figure

 

[Mat Lambert]

Martin - is this figure in your stash? If it is when did you get it? I thought the casting looks a bit soft , particularly around the face. Be interested to know what you thought.
Cheers

It is probably the flash of the photograph.
The figure is available from Bonapartes to this day

 

[martin tabony]

I've had that figure laying around for years. I think Graham is right it's just the photo. It's a excellent casting.(I don't know where the other bits are though!)
