These figures were sculpted by Paul Hicks, originally as a private comission for a gift to a member of the 28th Gloucester Regiment of the British Army, and then later cast up and available for a brief time in exchange for donations to the Army Benevolent Fund charity.
The sale of the figures alone has already raised over £800 / $1600 for retired soldiers and their families.
The sale of the figures was facilitated largely through the community at Steve Dean's Painting Forum.
The figures represent an officer of the Glosters at the Battle of Alexandria (1805), and an officer on the Western Front (1916). Only 100 of each sculpt were cast.
All the funds raised from the auctions will be donated. 80% will go to the Army Benevolent Fund, and 20% will go to help support Steve Dean's painting site, which provides a great community for figure painters free of charge.

JonG, if you had been in WWI you would have been thankful to have had such colors. This mini is not only painted historically accurately, it is painted well and remains true to the uniforms of those men who fought on the Western Front. If I had been living in trenches and crawling through the mud and guts I would have been more than happy to have had such a uniform. Very well executed and totally rad! |

Excellent. Muted earth tones throughout but it works very well. |

That's very nice. It's hard to make drab WW1/2 era minis look interesting but this is appealing. | |
