78th Highlander/Halifax,Nova Scotia 1869

[John Belcher]

HI Guys,This figure of the Sgt, of the Sword was sculpted by my good friend and fellow Kiwi livining in Australia, Phil Walden.On one of my trips in the late 90s to Australia Phil very kindly gave me this original scratch built 120mm figure.Phil was originally going to produce the figure in kit form but never did.Phil knowing how much I liked the Highlands and painting tartan?? wanted me to take it back to New Zealand.So as you can see this is a joint effort.Sculpted by Phil Walden.Painted by John Belcher.I feel that this figure is full of character and are very privileged to have it in my collection ,hope you guys like him.Kind regards John

Hi John

Lovely job. Phil Walden and John Belcher - a dynamic duo if ever there was one :lol:

I've got one of Phil's pieces - the Australian Light Horseman. I'm saving it for when I'm more confident with 120mm and acrylics.

Thanks for posting this one. Pity it's not available as a commercial casting

Best regards

Phil
