All I got from the link was a tiny thumbnail of Kirin's 11th Dragoon.
I don't know of anyone doing a bust of it Irek, but it would be good.
Sorry can't be anymore help,
Carl.

Sorry, its not the Kirin figure. It is a bust that was made by I believe a company called Celtic (?). I have the kit at home and will check for you. I do not know if they are still in business.

I also think that is the Kirin figure, but, if our friend Sean confirms that is a bust, i will like to know where to get one!

Hi,
It was released as a 1/2 bust around the 1990s and was based on that fantastic figure by Derek Hansen.
I remember it as it was around then I became serious about figures and serving in Scotland I think you are right about the company name. I am sure they attended Glasgow at times. I am sorry I can't help more, I do have the original Kirin by Derek and must say it is, well world class and others do not compare.
Best wishes
PS You may get an original if ask around but beware of some copies that are floating on the bay, not good for us lot ))

Yup it was released as a bust by Celtic models and then Bonapartes (Dave Freeman) took it over from them.I had a few copies of the bust marketed by Bonapartes and it was excellent quality,my buddy Frank Konetzke from Frank Miniatures painted one a couple of months back as he had it in his stock.

Thank you Sean;

Changed my mind a little. The sculpture of the pickelhaube is not very good.

Hello Irekfm, The original figure was from Kirin, #21529 1/16 (120mm) Leutnant, 11th Dragoon Regt. 1914. It was designed by Derek Hensen (Kirin catalog 1995). The bust from Celtic Models is of good quality, but in my opinion, does not come close to the detail of Hensen's version. Regards, SG
