A Fixture
Greetings
This is a little outside my normal era but not by much.
British Officer Mess Dress 1st Bengal Lancers. Skinners Horse. C 1910.
1/10th Scale Sculpted by Rob Lane.
Produced by Hawk Miniatures.
I will stand corrected but I dont think I have seen this one painted other than on Hawk Min stand.
The Yellow Jacket with the gold braid should be entertaining and a bit of a challenge for me along with the black facings & wes git. I dont foresee any problem with the lah-di.
This ornate outfit was worn when the weather was cooler during the winter months. The jacket is yellow with black velvet collar and cuffs. The gold lace was 1" wide (one and a half inches for field officers) and went round the top of the collar and front edge, down the edge of the open front and along the bottom. It also edged the pointed cuffs. The base of the collar was traced with gold chain gimp. There was black piping along the back seams of the jacket, from two gold lace 'dummies' situated on the gold edging near the middle of the back, up to the shoulders. The waistcoat was a thing of beauty. It was black velvet richly decorated with gold chain gimp and gold Russia braid. The gimp formed five rows across the chest, short at the top, becoming longer towards the bottom, with gold olivets in the middle. The front edges fastened with hooks and eyes. A stiff white collar would be worn beneath the waistcoat collar showing about a quarter of an inch.
Cleaned up, just a little casting block on the bottom and a little nipple on each elbow, under coat in the morning and get to work in the morning. In the mean time look at the medal ribbons, Im thinking of The India Medal 1895-1902 China 1900
