Beatiful job Carl and I think it could be a Pal - I recently put some photos of Lancs Fusiliers on Great War Forum for ID and was told by the experts there that the leather equipment with snake clasp belt is very much indicative of a Salford Pals battalion. Perhaps its the 1914 that makes it regs? For me, representation of the piece as a Pals soldier makes the piece even more tragic and evocative. Good luck with it..

Can you work a FLAT in there ??
Do it as box diorama showing him living in a flat

Cheers Keith!
But i've got 2 pieces on the go at the moment, so not much rest for me... Mind you there only so much crap tele you can watch
Besides I don't think I'll be putting my bottom up, the last time I did, it was mistaken for the third moon of Jupitor...

Thanks Colin!
You are right he is a Birmingham Pal!
They started deploying Royal Warwickshire Regiment to the Western Front in August 1914 I believe. It seems the first to go was a combination of the TA and regulars, I'm lead to believe the TA wore the 1913 pattern webbing and kit, and the regulars, Known as "The Birmingham Pals"! wore the 1914 leather pattern webbing and kit.

Carl a stunning idea and excellent sculpting . What about if you gave the little lad a toy soldier to hold, that way you'd have a Bust , a full figure and a 28mm figure all in one package.
Have a great Christmas mate.
Cheers Ken
Cheers Ken!!
Can you imagine the Uproar if I did put a small toy soldier with it.... You would then have a bust with 3 heads, 4 legs and 6 arms... What a nightmare....!!!!

Good point Carl,
you don't want to be doing that on the Hagley Road......someone will likely park their bicycle in it.
BTW Is the Duck still going strong?
