Just the officer is mine, apart from his head, I borrowed a Scruby head so that he would match.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-27518283303307209242012-07-09T07:48:22.185-03:002012-07-09T07:48:22.185-03:00Haven't been doing a lot of sculpting/castin...Haven't been doing a lot of sculpting/casting lately. Mind you, if I'd had taken more pictures along the way I could have done a nice "how not to" article on the US officer.<br /><br />If I ever do the 2nd KGL, I will be sure to reverse the King's colour with a note that I read it on the internet.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-66207870175301390052012-07-09T05:41:26.385-03:002012-07-09T05:41:26.385-03:00Stout lads - and all the more so for being your ow...Stout lads - and all the more so for being your own creations.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-83156835953041022162012-07-09T01:18:17.751-03:002012-07-09T01:18:17.751-03:00They look great - delightful.

The officer is a nice piece of work too - looking forward to seeing him finished.<br /><br />Your discovery of the unfinished plumes in your photo reminds me of an email I got from a Dutch correspondent after I sent him some pics of a Napoleonic battle I'd been playing. "I see the King's colour of one of the KGL units is upside down" - incredulous, I spent about an hour checking the pics, zoomed to hell, and found he was right. One of them is! - I wrote back, "The 2nd Bn KGL were well known for carrying their King's colour inverted after Talavera". After a month, he wrote back - "I checked carefully - I believe this is not true".<br /><br />Time to polish up the legend of the 89th's plumes. It will be all over the Net within a year.<br /><br />Nice job - I'd love to see some more posts on your carving and casting activities.<br /><br />Cheers - TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.com
