Great work, keep at it.. I think my version has the medal.. Didnt realise they did two versions.. I also have Poirot ( David Suchet ) Captain Hastings and the bumbling Detective.. Great busts with alternate heads. ( with or without hat )

Who made the Poirot and Hastings Warren ?

I know that Scale Colectables have the Poirot, but I don't remember Hastings

 

[Landrotten Highlander]

I have the 9th Gate Miniatures busts of both the Poirot/Hastings and Holmes/Watson duo

As Landrotter Highlander says, it was 9th Gate miniatures. I got the Benedict Cumberpatch version of Holmes ... and Watson as played by Martin Freeman, The Queen with crown mid life version ( as reviewed by Nap ) . and the three characters from Poirot.. Unfortunately I cannot find them in the stash to post pics, so I have managed to find these from Google..
None of which are available on their website.. I didnt realise they did a full version of her Majesty.. Again no longer available..

 

[Pedro]

Another small progress

 

[Rob]

9th Gate website says the Detectives and Royalty series are being reworked for reissue. They seemed to find out that producing a range of busts in a 1/14 scale nobody collects was not a great business decision. Who knew?
I hope they do come through with the 1/9 or 1/10 scale ones as I would like the 2 ages of Queen Elizabeth (with hats).

Another small progress

Small but important, he is looking far better now.

 

[Warren SMITH]

Getting there..

I agree there they were extremely well detailed but IMO also not the ideal scale ...here's hoping like you Rob ...would like a A King Charles perhaps in uniform of one of the Regts he's colonel of ....we shall see

As you say ref Pedro ....small but important

Hi all
The weather here has been quite hot and dry making painting very difficult. Anyhow I managed to do some progress on the torso

 

[Briggsy]

Very nice Pedro, really like the tweed waistcoat/veste it give a great contrast to the more sombre hat and jacket.

Cheers Simon

 

[Pedro]

I will leave Watson for now and start with Holmes

 

[Briggsy]

Looking good Pedro, going to be a cracking pair together.

Cheers Simon

 

[Warren SMITH]

Hi again,
After some holidays this is where i stand with Mr. Holmes
Warning: It was a big mistake to glue the "hat" before painting both it's under side and the head.

 

[MalcC]

Mr Holmes is looking rather good.
