Power of a song - Randy Howser

Throw away the hammer. Warm the piece/s as much as possible. Gentle bending ONLY. If push comes to shove - and nothing works and it snaps off - Make a new base from sheet metal - or cast one. Repair legs and pin to base - then repaint. Pictures may help - Good luck - jb

I'd rather be in a...................... Bar at the end of the World - Kenny Chesney

You're my World - Cilla Black

Cheers Brad - glad you like 'em too. Here's the real reason that I wanted them though. I have inserted them as a separate rank into my extended "Set 101" of lookalike Britains Band of the Lifeguards in early Victorian times, ( hence the State Dress with Jockey Caps ). They will also fit in -...

Day Tripping - Charlene Spiteri

Well, here's my fab four ( well I think they're fab anyway), just playing on their own at the moment. I have my big band on several different shelves - so I'll line 'em all up later on for some pic's which will include the four State Trumpeters as a rank in the band. I think that when you see...

Money changes everything - Cyndi Lauper

Yes Scott - Special Set by Replica Model Soldiers. Rather surprisingly, Britains never made a State Trumpeter until 1953 (QEII Coronation year). I've seen it - and I didn't like the pose on the new horse at all. I described what I really wanted to Andrew - which will add in beautifully to...

Roll with the punches - Lenka

Well, I guess that I have some sort of plan running through my head at most times - although I'm also a bit impulsive - and plans can often change. However - I'm not a Durbar collector. My four State Trumpeters are now Victorians - and just need bases finished off to complete. I never knew...

Aha! - I should have known - NOT quite so easy then, as the different boots means TWO castings - plus two heads. On the plus side for Dave - is that Andrew appears to have already solved it. {sm3} jb

Crazy beat - Blur

Just had a scoot around the net - and I can now see what you mean Dave. There were TWO forms of State Trumpeters - in that there were two Indian types in turbans - and two British types in overseas white helmets. Silly me was looking for a guy in a helmet with a turban!!!! And yes - if you...

I'm not as familiar with Dubar figures as you Dave - so what heads are you describing? Incidentally - I have asked Andrew for an Indian mounted Band - using that same horse (my favourite Britains horse pose) - and he's working on it for me. I intend for mine to become the 11th Bengal Lancers -...

You may recall that when I made up a lookalike old Britains Mounted Household Cavalry Band ( which began life as Set 101 - in the year 1899), I was trying to find some State Trumpeters which might "fit in". Well - I couldn't find any. So.............I asked my friend Andrew Stevenson from...

Crazy - Willie Nelson

Dark horse - Katy Perry

A horse with no name - America

Now finally completed is my Replica of Britains rightly famous Set 125, Royal Horse Artillery in Full Dress Uniform. Available from 1901, their small size and delicate parts means that it is getting difficult to find figures in good condition. This is my version, in honour of my Grand-dad who...
