Coming soon from 1879 Miniatures

[Richie]

Hi All,
I contacted a number people from around the world, these are artists whose work I have admired and they are also my friends and modelling brothers. I asked them to paint one of my Mike French figures for me and gave them free reign.
I wanted different styles and mediums for these figures and to say I'm happy with the results is a massive understatement.

Coming very soon in this next batch is the

17th Lancer - painted by Colin Semenenko Canada
Colonel Anthony Durnford R.E. painted by Colin Fraser Canada
Private Henry Hook 24th Foot painted by Mark Stothard Australia
N.C.O. Dragoon Guard / Life Guard painted by Harry Heavieside UK

Two of the next batch of figures after the above to be sent off for casting will be

Lieutenant Bromhead 24th Foot painted by Derek Bell UK
Sergeant Windridge 24th Foot painted by Ralph Yeates UK

Price per 120mm figure £38. Postage in UK £5 1st class recorded and R.O.W. £6

Apologies if my photo's do not represent the artist's skill.
cheers
Richie

You're artists have done a great job mate but I can't help thinking it's just laziness on your behalf.

Could you make the pics a bit bigger Richie? Bloke over the road says he can't quite make out the belt buckle details! Good to see these back again and some lovely paint jobs too
