Hi Richie, I think I'll stay at this end, I have enough trouble controlling my own.

Hi Neil,
Just received my copy £35 delivered and it's worth every penny. The size is 30" x 24"

Hi Richie
That is going to look so good framed and on the wall and what a inspiration as well
Excuse my ignorance is the Sgt in the middle depicting a particular soldier ?
Enjoy the awesome picture

Hi Nap,
Totally agree a very inspirational piece, just had to buy for the reference factor too. I could have used the other reference above from the net,
but The Friends of the 10th are a charity. So also supporting this charity I get double the pleasure and contribting in a very small way to their legacy.
Honest answer to the other question.....I don't know. I would think because of the title of the piece they would have had a good idea
who made the last the last stand due to their research. I don't know if the artist sort out this information or not.
Five hundred and eighty two brave souls entered Arnhem from the 10th and only 36 made it out.
cheers

Hi All,
Sorry it's been a while but work got in the way. Other than sticking this to a base and painting three rifles it is finished. I have also been working on the hand to hand piece and Death Comes to Onderlands, as well as amassing some bits for the Oosterbeek diorama. I have also made some moulds for a new figure I commissioned, hopefully will get a test cast done tomorrow.
It will be a pair of figures and completely different.
cheers

Hi Richie
That’s a lot of camo , figures look good ,presume you’ll weather in them and the bushes when possible
Look forward to seeing more on Onderlands and the others
Like all think the 2 “completely different” figures does sound intriguing
Have fun @ the bench

Hi Simon, Nigel & Nap,
Thank you so much.
Hi All,
When I think of Arnhem the most stand out figure for me has always been Sandy Cortmann from the iconic photo.
This is my 1/16 scale version I have lashed together after getting the moulds ready yesterday. Would like to thank Ariel
and Mark for their assistance on this one. I will also be doing a 1/35 version I need to put him in a vignette.
cheers
Richie

Hi Simon,
Thank you, it has always been the figure for me personally.
Cheers Richie
P.S. Just found out the the second figure from the right in the iconic photo married a lass from Hartlepool and his son still lives in the town. That's two families from here who had fathers who fought at Arnhem.

Good Northern lads leading from the front. One of the Ox & Bucks LI lads from Pegasus Bridge a Sgt Thornton transfered into the Regt, not sure which battalion but apparently he jumped at Arnhem as well.

Hi Neil,
Thank you, I was really impressed with some of the detail especially on the sten gun.
I was like a kid at Christmas yesterday, ended up starting to paint the face on him
only hours after being cast and undercoated.

Hi mate,
Thank you, yes it's turning into a big project but loving it. I saw your post with the Para's and drop cannister, very nice
I thought about ordering one but I've got far too much going on at the minute and would want to start it.
cheers

Hi Richie
Catching up a bit , a fine decision to do that figure based on a iconic picture ...epitomises the bravery and the word “Arnhem”
Looking forward to seeing the larger piece painted up and the 1/35th in the Diorama
Great thread here so big thanks for sharing
Have fun @ the bench
