London.



Top fashion designer Charles Creed is seen at his hobby of studying military uniforms. Extreme C/Us show him painting a costume on a lead model soldier, then checking his work against a picture postcard of a dragoon of the 17th Regiment from 1805.



He selects another postcard from a large album and holds it against a small plumed helmet he has made. Various shots show extremely detailed military figures from Charles' collection.
