Simply amazing work! If these three figures alone cannot prompt a mass purchase of Artizan Northwest Frontier figures....then you have no soul  :-*

Brilliant. They would certainly inspire me to buy that range. I wonder whether they will produce Sir Sidney Rough -Diamond ;)

I heartily second this! I think Sir Sidney and Lady Ruff-Diamond would make an excellent set! Why not Private Widdle (in uniform), Sergeant-Major McNutt (with or without the spear) and Captain Keene in another? Also Brother Belcher, Princess Jelhi and the Fakir?

I have spoken to many Wayne from WI on this and he like me would love Sid as Sir Sidney with the revolver, I think he is is bugging people so we need to keep the pressure up

Your paintjob on the Copplestone African Princess is simply fantastic.

For those of us not in the UK, could you reveal the background for these figures?  Very mysterious.  

Edit:  NEVER MIND, found it, Carry on Up the Khyber from 1968.

There is already a "Not Sid James" model out there - The Mutton Chop Sidney "Dirty Laugh" Cohen, sculpted by Paul Hicks.
Just need a suitable torso and a quick headswap...

Maybe Sir Sidney and his new Political Officer James Widdle after their heroics in the late uprising?

And in case anyone didn't know about them, the Copplestone Castings "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" pack "Trainee Agents" gives you Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey from Carry On Spying, while Warlord Games makes a model of Kenneth Williams as Julius Caesar from Carry on Cleo.

Carry On Headswapping!

There's definitely two more character packs needed from Artizan:

Sir Sidney and Lady Ruff-Diamond with Captain Keene
Major Shorthouse, Brother Belcher and Sergeant Major McNutt.

And can we have The Fakir as an extra model while we're at it?

And, while we're at it, can we have a couple more character sets:

Daniel in his kingly garb, Roxanne and Brother Kipling
The High Priest and 2-3 acolytes
