Royal Marine Light Infantry 1914

[Gra30]

I speak to stu a lot, a good mate. As you say Peter the sgt is a completely seperate affair. I have the legs and master to the bugler only and as mentioned, if I get 5 interested I will provide a kit. It won't be on the website or available at shows, just a limited few casts to pay for a bit of resin and to recognise the great work Carl and Jimbo did to a piece very close to home

 

[Bootneck]

Thanks a lot Gra. My interest still stands but you unfortunately don't seem to have had much take up on your kind offer. Here's hopeing. Fingers X.

As you said previously the Royal Marines appear to be very neich. (Is that spelt correctly) which given the number of actions they have been involved in dating back to 1664 is very surprising.

Cheers mate.
Peter.

[Dan Morton]

Superb!!!

Hi Jim,
Is the Broderick cap cast separate on the bugler?
cheers

[DUBRISMARINE]

Can you put me down for one Bugler Bust conversion. Cheers, DUBRISMARINE

 

[Waterman]

Brilliant, we are now up to 3 firm orders for Gra's Bugler come on those of you that want one, get in quick.

 

[Gra30]

The cap is part of the head Richie.
The figure complete, top and bottom, will be £50 and includes postage.
I have 3 confirmed so far

 

[Waterman]

That is very reasonable for this as a full figure, well pleased Gra.

As Waterman says very reasonable with P&P. 200mm figures are averaging around £65 currently. I would say Gra is been extremely fair for this unique figure.

This will be a truly unique figure for those lucky enough to purchase one.
Peter.

Hi all,
Just a quick update, I only got 3 interested parties in the full figure and so my gut feeling was right, it's therefore not a viable option as a full piece.
Just shows how hard the market is that you can't give them away lol.
Great work Jimbo and you have a very unique piece done superbly
Best wishes

Hi Gra,
Put me down for one, I can see another conversion coming. Only need one more taker.
cheers

Cheers Richie that is good news mate

Four full figures in a week with only this section of this forum to advertise doesn't seem too bad. If you showed the full figure on your web site you might get a few more takers!

[Waterman]

Yes come on please, surly there is someone else somewhere that wants one. We are nearly there, fingers crossed.

Mike, this is NOT a general release.
I don't usually combine the works of 2 sculptors, it's not the way I work. My 17th was different as I had the backing of Moz to do something myself combining both of us.

If I had commisioned the piece I would have used the original sculptor for the whole piece, sorry but that is how I work and my integrity to the sculptor.

This as said had legs as a personal piece only, with thanks to Jim, and as there was interest I offered it as a full figure, behind relatively closed doors if I could get 5 to cover mould and resin costs.

As you suggested it Mike, you could always make it up to the 5 !!!!!

If this had been commisioned, I would be looking at far more than 5 sales and the price would be more than the £50 I am asking
Regards
Graham

 

[Richard Baxter]

I'll take number 5, let's get this bugler calling!

 

[Gra30]

Thank you Richard, will pm you kind gentlemen when ready.
On to him straight away
Thank you
Gra

 

[Waterman]

I will get my 50 quid off to you Gra, many thanks to all the lads joining together to make this possible, and of course not forgetting a big thank you to you as well.
