Major - The Black Watch - Bust review

[Guy]

Debra Raymond Military Figures
#FD01
Major - The Black Watch, 1903-1914
140mm in Height
sculpted by DF Grieve
painted by Debra Raymond
3 parts

This is the first Debra Raymond figure / bust I have seen "in the flesh" so to speak and I am highly impressed with the sculpting and casting. It took a few minutes to find a casting line and it was so small that I missed it on the first look. A very fine line on the bust's back, easily removed in seconds.

The kit comes packed in a sturdy box with a color guide on the front and additional information inside the box.

Well proportioned sculpting with an attention to detail and an almost flawless casting.

The fur detail is amazing and should be a pleasure to bring to life.

In conclusion I find this bust to be of superior quality and I will not hesitate to collect more. Excellent casting.

I'm already a big fan of Mr Grieve's sculpting - maybe one day I'll get the chance to paint this beauty!

Hello Guy,
Thanks for the review. I've done Dave Greives von Blucher bust cast in white metal and it was a real beauty. Excellent sculpting. And this looks like it's the same quality. I'm glad to hear that the casting quality is still good.
I've had my eye on this bust for quite some time now. Even got to see one painted up at MFCA this time. It's really an impressive piece. I tried to get one at the show but Chuck from Red Lancers didn't have one there. Butr I know that it's in my future
Thanks again,
Craig
