Our model busts are character studies in miniature — large-scale resin bust kits that focus on the face, expression, and uniform details of a single subject. Cast in the UK in high-quality resin, they make striking display pieces and some of the most rewarding painting projects a modeller can take on, with plenty of room for blending, shading and fine work.
Our Great War busts honour the men of the First World War, including 1/9th-scale British subjects such as the King’s Royal Rifle Corps and Royal Field Artillery, alongside our celebrated Great War pilot busts — 1/12th-scale portraits of the flying aces of the Royal Flying Corps.
The range also features individual historical figures and stocked Black Eagle Miniatures busts, giving painters a variety of periods and subjects to collect.
A bust lives on its face and fine detail — exactly where a quality sable brush earns its keep. Pair yours with our Kolinsky sable paintbrushes.
