No mate they are called nightmares. there will be around 600-700 Guards when finished. Painting the white belts is the hardest.

They are in sectioned plastic boxes, in various states, some are waitong to have trousers painted, some need arms, some need legs etc. It's easier to make around 10-20 at a time. I will sort some up to date pictures.

Every single one. aroun 21mm high approx three quarters of an inch.

Did one of my favourite tasks this morning. Laid the wreath at Lord Nelsons statue for Trafalgar day for The Birmingham St Georges Day Association. Did you know there was a Brummie on every single one of Nelsons ships.
