Who what and why...post the Charge

[Wings5797]

Almost finished on the Lord Cardigan……at long last. There are the jacket arms and leather gloves need to get some light and shade on them and I think that will be it.
I have tried to include elements that were relevant to the charge; the written order, the M1815 pattern George Potter Bugle on witch William (Bill) Britten sounded the charge and with some difficulty the Horses.
I hope that you like the idea?

Keith

Many thanks for your kind generous comments Lads.
I am pleased that you like the hoof. I must say that the horse was not a 100% on it.
Cheers

Have you thought about doing a Guards Camel Regiment figure? I'd quite like to see the base for that.

My turn now, strange you should say that Keith, only last week we were at Mainsgill Farm shop just past Scotch Corner....

(I know, wrong type of camel but still..)

Well done and I like the additions and the horse's hoof was a brilliant idea. Never would have thought of it.
