Sarum Soldiers ‘Officers’ Mess c.1900

Casting review November 2012

At the London show in June, Patrick Willis gave me one of the sets from his range depicting life in a regimental officers’ mess at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. ‘The Colonel’s Birthday Serenade’ is set of multi-part castings producing six figures, four standing and two seated, and a piano. The regiment’s colonel and his wife are being entertained by four officers singing and accompanied on the piano.

The castings are very cleanly cast and look elegant in their mess dress. Assembly simply involves fixing arms to figures and figures to chairs and the piano is quick and easy to assemble using super glue. The set looks splendid painted gloss but would also look very good painted in matt colours. And if you want to add some extra furnishings to your officers’ mess vignette, Patrick can provide packs of Persian and Turkish patterned carpets for an extra touch of colour.

The Officers’ Mess castings measure 56mm approx and there are currently ten sets in the series. Patrick expects to add further sets in due course, including a complete regimental orchestra. The set of castings shown here is numbered OMO9 and costs £29.95 (£59.95 painted gloss). Castings for a larger set titled ‘Ladies Guest Night” (OMO4) cost £49.95 (£99 painted gloss). Other casting sets cost £24.94 (£52 painted gloss). P&P: 10% UK; 15% EU; 20% USA and Overseas.
