Title: More Trevor than James
Post by: Unlucky General on 01 March 2023, 08:14:07 AM

I thought I'd share my latest effort toward realizing my Balaclava build - my Light Brigade command stand. For those interested in the Crimean War, I've got a few more photos of this group and a brief historical account (with pictures) of the three escorts I chose to include with James Brudenell, Lord Cardigan. You can find it here: https://balaclavabuild.blogspot.com/2023/02/light-brigade-command-cardigans-party.html (https://balaclavabuild.blogspot.com/2023/02/light-brigade-command-cardigans-party.html)

I reckon the Great War Miniatures Cardinal figure is sculpted from Trevor Howard who played him in the 1968 movie 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' ... which I think is brilliant (both the movie and the figure).

Lovely work. Hopefully you have kept an eye on the thread about Russian range being sculpted elsewhere on the forum.

Thanks.

Yes, I'm certainly ready to order plenty more Russians when Eureka Miniatures rolls them out.
