BITS AND PIECES

  1. A herald infantryman versus two Hill conversions
    An Ian Jopson plastic airfix that he moulded into metal that I then bought and painted. This is my favourite finish.

    I think these two are Hills.

NEW BITS AND PIECES

  1. This is a Royal Marine I bought on the internet by Authenticast I think but not sure.He lacks his rifle.Any ideas for a replacement.I'm hoping to recast these.
    This is not a Britains but by Hill(again I think) it was broken so I made a new rifle.I'm repainting it.I also gave him a better kepi.


    This is Hill or Crescent I think.I recreated his halbard as it was broken.


    This was a 54mm I bought in Tradition in London. Its Northumberland Grenadiers.
