Great revival of a classic piece, Steve...if only I hadn't finished a French Cuirassier bust, I think this would have been on my shopping list.

I'm painting a French Cuirassier bust at the moment, but I'm thinking of buying this.
It's awesome.

Well, I ordered one a few seconds ago......can't resist it.

I've had this one buried in the stash since the release by Ademola 5 years ago, has it really been so long, & it's a real beauty. The base is in the shape of a horseshoe to which is attached a stand reminiscent of those flying stands model aircraft used to come with. This supports the horses head & neck & the Cuirassier attaches to the horse. On the one I have there are predrilled holes in the horse & the figure to make a positive alignment, probably using brass rod or tubing.
The original Ademola box describes this as a "Polish Cuirassier of the 14th Regiment" and the holsters on the horse might suggest an Officer.
The horseshoe base fits, just, on a plinth 72mm square.

Very highly recommended.
