1879 Miniatures 1/9 Naval Brigade bust.

[Richie]

Hi All,
This is the latest release from 1879 Miniatures. This is a 1/9 scale (200mm) one piece grey resin cast bust representing a Naval Brigade figure from 1879. I have not added any name on the tally band therefore he could be painted as any Victorian sailor from this period.

I have added a couple of photo's to show my inspiration for this piece. The piece could be painted in the blues, whites or a combination of the two.

The price for the bust is £33.00 which includes free world wide postage.

cheers
Richie

Good luck with this Richie. The bottom photo is interesting, could well be an Aussie. HMA Naval ..... (Dockyard?) Her/His Majesty's Australian Naval Dockyard.
Not that it matters to the figure, just interesting.

Could be Auxillary perhaps?

Hi Gordon, Keith, Brock, Roger and Kevin,
You know what they say.....all the nice girls love a sailor! Just ask Roger.

Thank you lads, glad you like him, the Senior Service seems to be somewhat under represented in the modelling world compared to other figures and my Dad and Granddad being ex-sailors, I thought I would have a punt.
cheers

Hi Mike,
Thank you, I could not agree more and I may just do something else in the future as I have a few ideas for the Senior Service.
cheers

A good addition to the range Richie. I agree there are too few naval subjects done.
