Title: Crimean Raglan figure question
Post by: THE CID on March 16, 2011, 04:39:13 PM
Hi  I have just purchased a high command set from Great war mins. The problem is, what does lord Raglan have in his good hand. I just cannot work it out. Also was captain Nolan a small chap, he seems smaller than the other chracters. Apart from this the figures are really nice.   Thanks  THE CID   :?

His custom-made one-hand telescope:

I've no idea how tall Louis Nolan was, I'm afraid.

Nolan was quite short in real life, think Tom Cruise.

Nooooooooooo, don't do that, there are plenty of short people that will do (let's hope that no film moguls are reading this and think 'that's a good idea!'  lol )

cheers

Thanks for the Info guys, its a great photo for his telescope contraption.  It could be worse than Tom Cruise, what about Wayne Sleep, remember him in the first great train robbery  AGH, AGH, AGH, AGH, AGH  :'(       THE CID.

I think the High Command is in need of some fork handles...

Getting back to the figures, what colour was Nolans cap and trousers. There,s loads of conflicting evidence. Also are there any websites with uniform details of British Crimean figures.  THE CID.  :? :?
