Thank you for sharing with us Gordon

Are the heads cast separately ? The boys heads needs some tuning, as the angle looks most uncomfortable.

Gordy,the heads on all of the kits ,so far, are cast seperately which will enable minor adjustments to be made. There is a choice of alternate headgear for the sergeant in Set#2 which is a belgic or stovepipe shako. A choice of heads for other figures in the range may be an option at a later stage utilising the two different types of shako and possibly an oilskin covered one.

Set#3 depicts two characters in the centre of the group of figures as painted by Lady Butler, the smaller one leaning forward and craning his neck to the left waving his drumsticks at someone who is out of view. When grouped together as a whole the figures capture the spirit of the actual painting very well.
