Tommy's War TW54031 - Rifleman, 10th Gurkha Rifles, Gully Ravine 1915

[Tommys War]

I'm delighted to present two new releases today in the Tommy's War range, the first;

Code; TW54031
Description; Rifleman, 10th Princess Mary's Own Gurkha Rifles, Gully Ravine 1915
Scale; 1/32
Material: grey resin with photo etch rifle sling
Number of parts; 9 resin parts plus rifle sling
Sculptor: Nino Pizzichemi
Box art; Alex Varela
Price; £14.00 GBP plus postage (£12.60 for members of the Tommy's War Collectors Club)

Available from; www.tommyswar.com

As a long-standing admirer of the Gurkha regiments, I'm absolutely delighted to include a member of the Gurkha Rifles in to the Tommy's War range.

Shown at the battle of Gully Ravine in Gallipoli in 1915, this Rifleman is depicted in khaki drill uniform and 1903 bandolier pattern equipment. We used some artistic license to show him attacking with his famous kukri drawn.

As a Rifleman, badges and insignia is shown in black, the white material around his arms are identification symbols for that battle.

My thanks to Nino for another fantastic sculpt and to Alex for his wonderful box art.

This figure, and TW54032, are available for order on www.tommyswar.com

Another fantastic sculpt and painting.

You only need to look at the figure's face to see how well the sculptor (Nino) has captured the right balance of character and action in telling a story.

Congratulations.

One of the things I've been asked for is colour references. I'm pleased to say that there is a PDF document now on the website available to download for free which gives the references Alex used while working on the box art. I hope it proves useful.
