1/9th scale bust by Mitches Military Models.
A beautiful sculpture of the actor Nigel Green as Colour Sergeant Frank Bourne from the film "ZULU".
If you have never seen "ZULU" then you may need to redeem yourself!
The real Frank Bourne was 24 years old at the time of the Battle of Rorke's Drift on the 22nd to 23rd of January 1879.
At the time he was the youngest Colour Sergeant in the British Army and as a result he was know as "boy". (Green was 40 when he played the part).
He didn't receive one of the eleven Vitoria Crosses awarded for the battle, but he fought with great valour, rallying his exhausted men and urging them on in the face of overwhelming odds.
The bust is painted with Humbrol enamels and Tamiya acrylics and was a joy to paint.
