Title: Victorian Life Guards
Post by: nicknorthstar on May 16, 2022, 08:10:48 PM

Look at these figures Richard Kemp (HLBSCo) sent us. They are 4 Late Victorian Lifeguards. He basically said 'I'll never get around to moulding these, & people keep asking for them, do you want to do it?'

Yeah okay.

We've just taken the first castings off the mould, I was thinking of releasing them on the Queen's Jubilee (2nd June)

They’re a bit nice - lots of nostalgia for Britains trooping of the colour figures, but these are actually wielding their swords.

They might make a nice little IHMN force?

Lovely figures, but a real shame about the ugly blocked in reins. I know it makes casting easier and prolongs mould life but that will be a real bugger to remove cleanly.

Great idea.

I always welcome any Victorian era figures, they look really nice, though the figure with his sword raised vertically doesn't quite look right.

Sorry, Nick, but not finding the figs at the URL you've supplied.
