Imagine this as a 200mm mounted figure!​

One for me...
And another one if there's a mounted version someday

Would be an absolute must if mounted, however I would imagine it would be done in 120mm, ..... I'd still have to have it.

Agree with Wayne elbow area looks a bit too awkward but it might be pics ?

Cracking piece. The arm thing is to do with the angle of the camera and shadow cast under the arm. If you look at the second photo from the back it looks full as it should be.

The bust is based on this painting of Lord tredegar during the charge, I dont get the arm thing, I can easily adopt that position .

Nice bust, but I don't know the details on the front of the jacket are right...only two lines of buttons...

He's wearing the stable jacket - probably more suitable for Aliwal than the Crimea, but officers were a law unto themselves.

its a stable jacket this one was worn in the charge by Lietenant sir william Gordon. its got sabre cuts all over it. Its in the National army museum collection and was a well known and popular form of dress for officers.

 

[moz]

Im not sure you will get any better proof than one that was actually worn in the charge

Nice work Moz!

[Gellso]

Really nice work on this Moz.

Few alterations with the Arm and more work on the cap, have changed the studs on the jacket which in reality were much smaller and a lot more of them. Thanks for the input.
