Captain Souter Gandamak · 44th Foot last stand miniature 90mm · First Afghan War 1842

One of the most famous last stands in British military history: this 90mm scale figure depicts Lieutenant (Captain) Souter of the 44th (Essex) Regiment of Foot at Gandamak, 1842. During the catastrophic retreat from Kabul in the First Anglo-Afghan War, a handful of survivors made their final stand on the hill at Gandamak — and Souter, who had wrapped a regimental colour around his body, was among the few taken alive. Sculpted by Mike Good, it’s a powerful, characterful centrepiece.

The kit is a multi-part figure supplied 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.

Painting this figure

Torn, travel-worn uniform, the wrapped colour and a determined face make this a superb narrative paint at 90mm — our Kolinsky sable brushes hold the point for the face and detail. Explore more of the era in our Victorian miniatures range.
