I've also seen comments about such things as "54mm scale". 54mm, 65mm etc. is a size. Proportions such as 1:32, 1/32nd, 1/30th are scales. Martin

I'll dig out some pictures but that's the basic uniform. Interesting the britains would use the same casting, as you can see there was no tunic in 1837, although the boots are the 1812 pattern that are still worn. The rank of "Sergeant" has never been used by The Life Guards Martin

Until I can get my hands on some to compare, I can only say that I made these to true 1/30th. I also made some masters for East of India, it was a good while ago but I'm pretty sure they were to 1/32nd scale. Martin

Found this old photo of Sefton, before the bomb. Martin

If you want to make an addition, trumpeters wore the cuirass in 1837, with a red crest. Martin

Thanks Peter and Johnny. I'm not picky about much, but when I am... :) Martin

Oh as I've just been reminded (senior moment :) ) we've just started with the Boxer Rebellion at Heritage. That involved a multi-national force. Martin

Maybe you should look at some of the smaller makers (not everything is made in China ! :) ). For instance Morgan Miniatures already makes Conquistadors and Aztecs. Martin

I agree Italian, although the colour is off that means nothing. Martin

Re: Heritage 21st Lancers at the charge, Anglo Zulu War. Heritage already has U.S. cavalry. Both Indian wars and Civil war. Martin

Johnboy, for a time we couldn't move around the barracks for boxes of apples and "polo mints" sent in by the public! :) Martin

I've sent you a private message. Martin

Yes they would, when Bruce took over the painting that was one of the things we discussed. Bruce ended up using "artistic licence" because he preferred the contrast of black and white. Easily sorted though, and as all our figures are made to order, rather than in large batches, if a collector...

A good turn out yesterday. The wreaths are in The Life Guards colours (on the left of the picture) and Blues and Royals. The white rose was chosen as a symbol of remembrance. Martin

Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) By the way all leather should be black for rifle regiments, including the rifle sling. Martin

Unfortunately the b**** got away with it Johnny, because of those "get out of jail free" letters that Tony Blair dished out! :mad: We know who made the bombs and who used the bombs. Martin

Thirty three years since the murder of the Queens Life Guard of the Blues and Royals, also the musicians of the Royal Green Jackets who were bombed on the same day while entertaining the public in Regents park. The regiment salutes the monument every time we...

Yess Roger always seems to have French stuff! :) I'm all in favour of sharing info, and that's a good site for it. Martin
