Wanted : Fort Duquesne DF Grieve figure

[Johan]

... Does any of you know where I can still get a RESIN casting (so that would have to be the Fort Duquesne version of this figure) of David Grieve's large scale (110 - 120 mm) figure of a Private of the Black Watch at Tel el Kebir 1882 ? Or does anybody have this kit and wants to sell it ? ... Just let me know please !

Thanks,

Johan

Robin, this figure is now produced in metal by Bonapartes, see here :

I'd love to find the Fort Duquesne version though, as that would have been expertly cast in resin ... and this is also a very big figure, in reality 120 mm ... resin makes less weight, in metal this is quite a heavy one to hold when painting.

Oh and if someone has the grenadier of 1st foot, 1751, in the same scale, also by FD in resin, I'll consider buying that one too.

Greetings,
Although I dont have contact information (perhaps another member does?), a good portion of the Fort Duquesne masters were purchased by a company in Florida called John's Models. I dont know which masters from the original line, and he is still marketing the product under the Fort Duquesne name.
Regards,
John

Here is what is available from the Fort Duquesne product line. I'd be very curious as to the quality of these kits. Has anyone purchase something from him?~Gary

Johan, if I remeber correctly, Fort Duquesne did not release the entire line of the Grieve large scale figures before they ceased operations. I know they released the 1st Foot Grenadier, the Crimean War Highlander, and one other. I may be wrong, but I don't think the Black Watch figure you are looking for was released. I have not seen any castings by John's Models and cannot speak to their quality.
