The Naked Army

[John Sukey (Deceased)]

Just recieved my fifth figure in a line of cold cast bronze figures of the Australian army. they are about 13 inches high including the base. (1/6 scale) They are not cheap but then they are NOT toys. This was one of a "Digger" at Gallipoli.
The detail is amazing, right down to the sling swivels on the rifles.
each figure is done individualy. They also have some kits of the figures that can be assembled and painted

The term "Naked Army" comes from an Egyptian newspaper article at the time
"Not since pre-historic stone ages has such a naked army been seen in civilized warfare as the Australian Army Corps fighting on the Gallipoli Peninsula. They display an utter abhorrence for superfluous clothing.
They are famous throughout Europe for their hard-fighting, hard swearing and nakedness"

If you are serious about Enfields you should take a look at
