This was before his work with Hammer; at this point, the roles for which he was best known were as Darcy in the 1952 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, and as an occasional face in the BBC's Sunday-Night Theatre (notably as Winston Smith in Nigel Kneale's 1954 production of Nineteen Eighty-Four)
One of the old Grenadier Star Wars minis I own is Tarkin. I've never painted it.
I confess the deep reason is that painting a mini of the Patron Saint of Miniatures intimidates me. Yet the only sin Saint Cushing hates more than a badly-painted mini is an unpainted one.
I am damned either way.
AND he exists as this mini from Antediluvian Miniatures. A salute to his character Prof. Abner Perry from "At the Earth's Core (They also have 2 version of Doug McClure, a Rachel Welch, and a Caroline Munro).

Lovely video. I wonder if he did planes and airmen too, or did he stop with the Boer War?

MAYBE Custodes sometimes, but he's giving Guardsmen vibes.
