When one considers, that in the British Army, Mess Dress was almost certainly worn more frequently the Full Dress, its representation in the model soldier world has been sadly lacking, being very infrequently seen in collections and exhibitions.

It is hoped that this range of figures will rectify that situation. 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.

At this point every Regimental Museum in the country was approached, with a view to gaining confirmation evidence of details.

We would like to place on record our sincere thanks and appreciation to those Officers Commanding Home Headquarters and Curators of Regimental Museums for the most useful information and help received, which in one instance, even included the loan of an actual Mess Jacket!

A final decision was made to design and produce enough different figures to enable the collectors to paint one or more of every type of Mess Dress in the Army, or with minimal conversion work to create representative figures of any or all the Regiments, corps and departments on the establishment at the time.

We believe that never before has a particular type of British Army Dress been presented in model form in such depth.
