1879 Miniatures Sergeant Natal Carbineers

[Richie]

Hi All,
This is the lastest figure from 1879 Miniatures and depicts a Sgt. of the Natal Carbineers coming down a donga wall. There will be a water bottle added to the kit so it can be attatched flying away from the body to add to the sense of movement.
The 54mm version is £15 and the 120mm version is £35 plus postage. I can start taking orders and will start casting next weekend.
cheers
Richie

Hi Ron,
Thank you mate, there are two more figures to come that can be stand alone or fit togther to make a vignette. One will go in the foreground and the other on the opposite donga wall to the Carbineer.
A donga is a dry water course.

Hi Gary,

...(sighs) Just when I utter the words, "No more figures...." Ritchie goes and does this....
Ritchie, you've a lot to answer for!
I'll likely wait until the whole set is finished. I look forward to it.

Thank you.

Hi Nap,
Thank you, I come up with the design & pose, supplying Ariel all the reference material and dimensions he translates this into
a 3d sculpt and if I want to changed anything I get the chance before it goes into the final stage.
Hits the brief always.
There's a lot more work after this stage.
cheers

Hi Tom,
Apologies for the late reply. Thank you for letting me know everything was OK. Looks like you have a lot going on, plenty of red and blue paint I hope.
