Fantastic figure!!!

He is handling a Lancaster Howdah 4 barrel pistol - It is a "real life" steampunk weapon. And not alone, shall I say ... Victorian period really produced quite strange and odd guns.

As far as I am remembering right now, I'm not recalling any other figure handling this pistol. Fantastic, Stu!!!

Great release Stu, Burnaby has long fascinated me. This one will be a winner!

Very nice but everything seems to be 75's now.

Stormtroopers have done it again. An exceptional figure and a definite 'must buy/must have' as it is currently a limited edition. I do hope demand is such that a further production run becomes necessary so that as many who would like a copy can purchase it.

One of my fave period songs. Part of an LP bought at the NAM in the 70's. I think all the songs are on youtube.

One of life's great eccentrics well presented.

Can I also recommend an excellent biography of Burnaby,The True Blue by Michael Alexander which has an excellent account and period illustration of his death at Abu Klea.

 

[Colin_Fraser]

You are going to need more than 28 of these for sure.

Who have you got doing the box art Stu? Look forward to seeing this painted up.

I really like the look of this one. I hope there will be a longer run in the future as the 28 are sure to go fast - way before I can really justify buying anymore figs (v tempting though).
All the best with the release Stu.
Cheers
Mat

Great figure , I like 75mm. Congratulations Antonio.

 

[stu]

Many thanks for taking the time to respond,,,,greatly appreciated

Unfortunately it seams from my stats that this will be a one moulder !!! a growing trend in todays market.

This piece is unlikely to be painted.

It really is a lovely sculpt and all credit must go to my friend Antonio.

Cheers

Stuart

 

[Tommys War]

Great stuff, now that's service Stu!

Burnaby has got a memorial in central Birmingham in the grounds of the cathedral, I'll have to go check it out again. Its only a couple of miles from where I work

Stu!,

A cracking piece! so much detail at 75mm! admittedly I have never heard of this 'Chappie', however it does have me searching yet again.

This piece will be snapped up. 'Toot-Sweet'.

High regards,

Mark.
