This man in his own country...

Some of John's chaps ready to be sent off to the painters.

This man in his own country prayed we know not to what powers.
We pray them to reward him for his bravery in ours.


Hindu Sepoy in France - Rudyard Kipling

It would be boorish to tease an already long suffering public with regard to these capital fellows, you'll find below a complete listing of the figures available below.

The figures are available John Cunningham and you can find his details here. I'm assured that further figures, including one at porte arms and a drummer, will be forthcoming. These are nice, clean castings, roughly of a size with HAT figures which demanded only a little cleaning up with a file to be ready to go. My photo doesn't really do them justice, but I'll add some further pictures.
