Found this ?

I found this today. I have no recollection of buying it, certainly not in the last 10 years.
No idea who or what he is other than about 5" tall in his hat and pretty heavy but i doubt he is lead ? He looks like he needs smoothing off in places as the casting is a bit rough ?
Looks like the next project after the Porsche. I really must start trying to get on top of one genre and stop switching because by the time i get to doing another subject like a tank i have forgotten all the techniques i learned last time.

Nice, I've always thought techniques are the same across all modeling. Might apply them differently but say if you're going to dust up this guy's boots it would be the same as dusting up some tracks or wheels.

Seems he is a 90mm Clydecast by Tom parks, long defunct it seems and not up to modern standards of casting according to the reviews.
Probably worth more as a collectors item than it is than as a painted model.

Would need to cut down the barrel. The normal line man would carry the Brown Bess which the figure has while the 95th carried the Baker Rifle. It was shorter and rifled and could not carry a bayonet. Instead it has a fitting on the barrel for their sword. Rifle could not be fired with sword on. Might be an NCO with those epaulets.

Always liked the Historex colour cards that came with figures.

Love the yellow cuffs and collar. Maybe of use to you.
