Queen's Ranger Charging Bayonet (BMC)

This Queen's Ranger was the first completed figure of 2021.  With the gleaming bayonet that tips his Brown Bess musket (by Helmet Soldiers), he will strike terror into the hearts of the rebels!

He is originally a BMC figure (left) who was stabbing upward (at a horseman?).  Removing his arms and swapping them with a BMC grenadier (right) gave him the ideal waist-high position for charging the bayonet.

The musket is a Brown Bess by Helmet Soldiers (available at http://www.helmetsoldiers.co.uk/weapons2.html, reviewed at https://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2020/06/helmet-soldiers-muskets-and-pistols.html).

When taking these photographs, I realized that the crescent on the Ranger's helmet was accidentally washed away by the varnish and not repainted.  Soon that will be remedied and he can proudly take his place alongside the rest of the Queen's Rangers.

Figure by BMC, musket by Helmet Soldiers.  Painted with acrylic and enamel paints, sealed with Hobby Lobby brand matte varnish.
