@ Baron Perfect answer matey, many thanks! A bit of Googling confirms the uniform details - I'd never seen a Guards hat like that one before.

I came by the attached 54mm figures through eBay bundled with some other stuff. They are Rose Miniatures according to the underneath of the base, which also has "1/2" engraved on it. The figures and bases are identical other than the heads. One has a Tam O'Shanter and the other what looks like a...

Have you checked it out on Google Streetview?

An interesting point further to Tony B's comment above is that the Copenhagen examples of British 6-pounders guns do not have the ironwork picked out in black. The whole piece is painted the same shade of grey. It's tough to argue colour against an extant example of a gun, but this has come up...

I remember Cavaliers well. It was somewhere off the main drag to the left as you came in from Watford. I was on pocket money and buying Hinchliffe 25mm. We lived in Rickmansworth. Mail order was costly so ideally you wanted to tag along wherever the parents were going, find a model shop and buy...

Hi all Long time no post... I am working on a 1/12 Airfix Beefeater (well, on and off) and having a bit of trouble shading and highlighting the red tunic. This is using Vallejo acrylics with a brush. I find adding flesh tone to the red works well on highlights but I am struggling to come up...

Has anyone ever done a miniature of Douglas Bader that one could use to reproduce this photo (or any of the 2 or 3 like it that are out there)? http://acepilots.com/british/bader.html

Skytrex have just confirmed to me that they have no plans to produce anything off these moulds anytime soon. Pity really. The 1/32 scale is consistent with the usual scale for other eras. It seems that if you want to display figures from the 20th century alongside those from the 19th you...

I was a keen collector of 20mm and 25mm Hinchliffe in my youth but these days I focus more on 1/32 and 54mm. The 25mm and 30mm moulds are now in the hands of Hinds Figures. The rest appear to have vanished. That is, there used to be an extensive range of 54mm equipment by Hinchliffe, some...

Hi there Sorry it has taken me so long to notice this message! Source for 3/21st was Haythornthwaite's Uniforms of Waterloo. He shows them in dark green coat and breeches. The coat has 3 rows of buttons, the facings and shoulder rolls are black, the shako is a British rifle shako except...

Stumbled across the site and signed up. There is some awesome work being done here. I've recently got back into figure modelling via my re-awakened obsession with Airfix. I'm hoping to pick up some tips from some of the experts. Here are some recent builds - well, all the recet ones...

Hello, first time poster here. This auction ended weeks ago, but I'm intrigued by this figure. If this is meant to be a 95th Rifleman, there are several errors. As well as the lack of a rifle that you've noticed, the bayonet doesn't look like the sword bayonet he should have; it's too...
