I love the hat, a little off-white though.
And his uniform is excellent!

Actually, the majority of British soldiers in South Africa darkened their gleaming white helmets with tea or coffee-the clean, white ones were spotted too easily by the enemy.Great figure!Is Rorke's drift coming next?

At the time of the Boers war the british army dipped their cloting into tea to give them a tan look as far as i know!!!

Thanks for the comments.
The Zulu War marked the end of the redcoat uniform.
Troops stationed in South Africa were almost the last to change uniform.
The Victorian mentality, strategies, colors, these things can not be seen from a modern perspective.

MAlone these are great customs !!! I wonder if you would take up a commisioning to create 120 of these, PM if interested . I think they would look awesome along a big redcoat standard troop which i plan to create rather soon !!!!!! Excellent work , impressive , precise and looks awesome !!!!

Thanks but....I never make direct sale of my items and off course....never used de PM for this.
I only make new parts and easy options for everybody.
Make this custom is easy for all, take a legs from the new "fireman"...a red body-arms....my hats and the Bendalator stickers....."et voilà"....!!!

[Giorginetto]

Well these stickers and hats where can someone get them from? especially those hats
