That's a nice looking casting.
Airfix used to do a 1/12 full Guardsman figure, you might find the odd one on eBay

Also done as parts of a figure set..

Ian Its a company i had never heard anout before but have seen some of their figures in various magazines and wondered were they came from. Looking at their website they have some great pricing with postage included which i love. Tomick gave some good detail on the older airfix kits (brilliant in my view when you consider when these came out and what else was available at the time) Now i have not seen these but it appears revell are doing a range of 1:16 scale figures that look interesting. Some i have never seen before like the Venetian guard so assuming these are all new moulds. If they are you may be interested as they have a Coldstream guard. Here is an ebay item code that lists the range but as ever if interested search out the best price and deal for yourself 172704674144 Happy Modelling

That's a really nicely produced bust Ian, the Airfix ones were okay but not in the same league as your CSG one.
