Into the breach: this 75mm scale figure depicts a standing British Private storming the Great Redan in the Crimean War (1853–1856). Part of our multi-figure assault on the Russian bastion at Sevastopol, he captures the ordinary infantryman’s courage in one of the war’s bloodiest actions. Sculpted by Alan Ball.

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

The scarlet coat, grey trousers and battered field kit of the Crimea are a satisfying study in wear and weathering — our Kolinsky sable brushes give the control for the fine detail. He stands alongside the Sergeant, Officer and crouching Private in our Crimean War miniatures range.
