With more than 100 years of experience, the W. Britain (William Britain) name has earned legendary status by producing the most finely detailed and historically accurate lead-free pewter soldiers in the industry. Each finely sculpted soldier begins as an artist's sketch, with particular attention paid to proper perspective and body mechanics. Details like uniform insignias are authenticated by historians and through a vast library of books. The sketches are then sculpted in wax, and rubber molds are formed around the wax figures. Consumer-safe lead-free pewter is then hand-poured into the molds and spun-cast. The soldiers are then each painstakingly painted by hand.
This set forms part of the Ceremonial Collection and consists of 3 Lifeguards (Red) and 3 Blues & Royals (Blue) - Scale 1:32 / 54mm.
Acquired in the late 80's, these soldiers conjure up images of the centuries-old traditions and unique ceremonies which are synonymous with London. Although they were never played with and only on display there are a few minor paint chips and the silver paint on the plastic chest armour was flaked off (but easily restorable)
