Troop54, Private 1/91st (Argyllshire highlanders) 1846

[Viking Bob]

My first from Troop54, is a 54mm figure of a private from the 1/91st Regiment of foot 1846 as he would have appeared during the 7th Kaffir war (war of the axe).
I remade the water canteen as it lacked the metal rims around it. A cracking little kit taken from the Osprey book, the British army on campaign No 1
Thanks to Stuart for this one.

Looking very good Bob.
The casting is very crisp with a fine pose.
I am very happy to see a dull war torn tunic observing the brick red colour.
Great stuff Mate

Thanks Keith,
Going by the history it was tough going and the reference in the book shows a very dirty appearance.
Glad you like him. I have some more of these troop54.

A job well done mate, be pleased with this one.
Quick question, I know it's 54mm, but is it on the larger or smaller side?

Thanks for the comment and in regards to your question he's about 60mm tall, compares well with MM figures but not as stocky.
Hope that helps

Cheers Bob.
I'm officially after this now!

Nice looking kit and a fine bit of painting. I'm trying to get away from 54mm, but I do enjoy subjects from Queen Victoria's small wars............

Cheer's Scott,
Like you I tried to get away from 54's but I love this period. There are some good looking figures in this range. Thanks for the kind comment.
Best regards
