Espionage in miniature: this 75mm scale two-figure resin set depicts Major John André talking to Abraham Woodhull during the American War of Independence. André was the British head of intelligence; Woodhull was one of the American agents of Washington’s Culper Spy Ring — a tense, narrative pairing that makes an ideal centrepiece. Sculpted by Alan Ball, it belongs to our “Washington’s Spies” range, inspired by the AMC series TURN.

The set is supplied as multi-part resin figures, unassembled and unpainted, and requires assembly. Any groundwork shown in the photographs was provided by the artist and is not included. Not suitable for children under 12.
