More Victorian Rifle Volunteers

[Marvin]

Another group from my Victorian rifle volunteers project. This lot are of the "3rd London Rifle Volunteer Corps" in 1896.

This corps once courted controversy with the UK government after raising funds and seeking to entertain the Italian general and nationalist, Giuseppe Garibaldi.

The initial inspiration for them came from the cover of a book that I'd been reading (below) on the rifle volunteer movement.

















The previous group of Rifle Volunteers I produced were the "Cheshire Greys", see post below:

Awe-some Helmets are my favorite detail

They look well fit for muster. Terrific presentation and painting Marvin.

Perhaps the next group build, anything in a pickle helmets? BB

Another very fine body of men, splendid painting.

I agree the helmets look very good and the faces are uncannily realistic. Nice pose selection too.

Grey or red it doesn't matter! They all look fantastic!
