Home Cast 54mm Royal Marines 1860s.

 Heads and knapsacks from London Bridge replacement parts. The castings are from Dunken Molds except the kneeling At Ready pose which is from a homemade mold that I borrowed. 

The At Ready poses have bayonets but the firing poses don't. I wanted to blend the At Ready and Firing poses as one unit.

Bayonets are paperclip metal cut to length. One end is flattened with a hammer. I filed away part of the rifle tip and crazy glued the bayonet to the rifle. When secure, a file was used to blend the bayonet to the rifle. 

The officer is also a London Bridge recast. It has a London Bridge replacement head and "Green Stuff" sash.
