We are pleased to release the first of our 54mm metal character and conversion packs.
This set is two British Peninsular War Ensigns. You get three head options (bare head, hat in cover, and hat with plume) and two hand options (holding hat and holding pistol), so you can get a lot of variety from the two base poses. You also get two finials and a choice of regimental flagsheet:
KGL 5th Bat
77th East Middlesex Regt
45th Nottinghamshire Regt
23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers
88th Connaught Rangers
4th Kings Own Regt
2nd Bat Coldstream Guards
69th South Lincoln Regt
32nd Cornwall Regt
3rd The Buffs
27th Inniskilling Regt.
The figures were sculpted by Robi Baker over the top of some plastic armatures made from our plastics to keep them in scale and proportion. He has done a lovely job, and they fit well with our plastic British.
As well as being able to buy the ensigns pack, we have also added a standard bearer deal to the shopping cart. You can get two plastic 54mm boxed sets, two standard bearers, and choice of flag sheet. This is a great way to build up 54mm units cheaply. The deal costs £50.00 GBP - normal retail price is £65.85 GBP, saving you £15.85 GBP!
These are on sale now, and we will have them at Salute on 16th April. We had hoped to have some sprues of the 54mm French Grenadiers and Voltigeurs to show off, but have been let down on the delivery of a steel bolster from Germany. We should have test shots in a few weeks, and will keep you posted.
We have also just added the Russian Cuirassiers and Cuirassiers Deal to the shopping cart.
