NSW Naval Landing Party Boxer rebellion

 Colonial NSW Naval Sailor

As part of my desk clear out of my project drawers I decided over the Christmas break to paint some 54mm figures that are not quite up to modern casting and sculpting. These old school figures allow me to practice on large figures particularly my skin colouring and blending  etc.

I am quite happy with my result although I could of spent more time on the tunic but he will fit in fine on my top shelf of my Louis 17th display porcelain cabinet in the Wargames salon. 

 I do know that he was sculpted by Mike Broadbent (Eureka sculpter ) in his early days, I am guessing 25 odd years ago and Mike gave him to me one day when I was visiting his house. He has sat in my large figure drawer collection for at least that long. 

Cheers
