The Staffordshire Yeomanry badges are his, also.

Hello John
Tony Barton's head sculpts are very good. The trick is in the painting.
I will be doing a firefly aswell but in the livery of the Sherwood foresters.

Great looking head sculpts. You should have fun painting them. I did some face painting in smaller scale. Here are some of my 1/16 scale guys.
I had never heard of this supplier before. I will keep them in mind for future projects.

I have to admit I wasn't sure, as his early scults (IMHO) are a little too Neanderthal, even for infantry
but these look spot on

Hi John,
May I ask where the Berets are from, look to be more realsitic than most of the custom ones I've seen. I need to start thinking about the RA crew for my Priest soon.
Best regards

Hi Dave
They are made by Bajoman, he is on EBay.

I suspect that there's an N missing from that name - at least, I've always bought Banjoman berets
Looks like you've found the best of the bunch for the crew - bodes well for the kit itself
Adrian.

Hi John
I like the advanced planning for your build! Those head sculpts look amazing as do the berets! as I said before, can't wait to watch your Firefly come together.
John F - Outstanding paint work on your smaller figures.
All the best
Tim

Thanks Tim, I did a kind of face painting tutorial on another forum before and can give a link to anybody interested. Love these 1/6 head sculpts. Would like to try one. Manufacturer was new to me.

Crew starting to take shape. The heads should be back this week from the paint shop.
I have still to dye two Dragon desert denim tank suits. The standing figure has a USMC
suit, hence the leather jerkin, to hide its origin!
Don't know if the shell case is a 17pdr, would appriciate any help if you know of someone
who produces 17pdr ammo for the Firefly.
Regards
John

Crew heads have arrived from the paint shop
L to R, Driver Gill, Loader Marks (still waiting for his body to be engineered), Cpl. Patterson, 2nd Lt. White.
any resemblance to fellow forum members is pure coincidence.

John,
holy cow those are nice head sculpts. The painting really brings them to life. They will be a great addition to your firefly.
Best regards,
