Another question: How tall were the gaiters? Reading the description on the Sutlers Store website, they say their reproduction gaiters are 11" tall. Were the originals this height too? If so, ...

Coll, thanks for your interest in my figure. Personality figures are pretty difficult, since there is only a good sculpt of Fred Hitch comercially available in 1/6th scale. My figure does utilise th ...

PRS, I'm afraid I don't make them to sell. Free-time (or lack of it) limits me to making one figure about every six months! The 24th Colour Sgt took many, many hours of work; it has leather boots an ...

I have a few questions on the 99th regiment of foot's badges in 1879.
