Hi guys
My second lancer I¨like to show you is a 21st sergeant, dismounted and defending himself on foot at the famous charge of Omdurman.
I create the soldier over some spare parts, as a start, then I sculpt all the uniform details adding the arms, hands belts, haversack and the 50 round bandolier: all hand made, has well as the helmet with curtain, the water bottle, the sword, the revolver and the bamboo lance.
The Historex horse was transformed in many parts: body legs and neck to look killed, and over him I created the regular equipment in use on that campaign: the bridle, saddle, 2 wallets, forage bag, the messtin and the especial fringe flies-protector for the head ) I did the crine and tail on spot.
I used acrylic Vallejo for the soldier and the horse was painted with oils
All yours comments are welcome

Regards

Adriano

Adriano, great work, like the idea of the horse's head drooping over the base, great painting, well done.
Many thanks for showing.
Cheers Ken
 
Wow Adriano, this is stunning. The horses head and neck dropping off the base is very clever. Excellent attention to detail. Well done, you should be proud of your efforts.
 
Very nice, Adriano! I will echo the previous comments and add that the overall composition of the piece is well thought out and well done. :)
 
WOW fantastic work!
And a wonderful idea.
The technology you have is superb.
I congratulate completion.
