This is the Range of the British Army, Mess Dress figures 54mm. The original concept was to produce a half dozen models of different types and dates, the rest being left to the collectors ingenuity.
As more and more research was carried out, it was realised that there was a good deal more to Mess Dress than a well cut jacket and trousers.
A decision was made to go further. A late Victorian period was chosen. At this date the uniforms had not become too standardised, gold lace was still much in evidence and there was the illustrated Dress Regulations of 1900, readily available.
