the reference to Muybridge --- it refers to one American 'madman' and pionier of motion photography named Edward Muybridge. Muybridge's work, photograps of animals and humans in motion sequence, revolutionized the perception of motion and movement of man and animal in the late 19th century...

Czolem (old Polish military greetings for hello) Jacku, great work - congratulations Gratulacje

Czolem - (old 17th century Polish greeting -i.e., could translate as hello) well, it looks like the time has come to visit the Forks of the Beautiful River :) driving distance - well, perhaps it all depends on your review. this exhibit may merit going over there:), besides the vistas are...

hello, you may also look at work of one of the America premier historical painters - Mr.Lee Teter, whose work is very accurate and detailed, and so beautifully painted that it is magical. e.g. http://www.hrosecure.com/firstclass/store08/lee_htf.html Books - C. Keith Wilbur, New England Indians...

Hello Joaquin, I saw the Fighting Knight first, and this so my comment is going to be late in sequence , nevertheless I got something to say :) .....Tremendous job, beautiful sculpt, proportions, elegance, expressions etc, absolutely a masterpiece! .........estupendo, tremendo, elegante...

Senor, me lo quito el sombrero de mi cabeza This is an amazing work, great scultping and just as great is the pictoral documentation showing the sculpting process. I love ancient and medieval subjects so this is dear to my own heart, and makes me wanna work harder on my own pieces. Gracias por...

Carlos, so far a very fine looking figures assembly - muy, muy buenas figuras... I am very curious to see the whole diorama because of the subject matter - you have chosen to depict a very sad moment in the Polish history. Yet, at the same time, this crossing moment was quite glorious...

hey Yago, Como estas? I just want to add to your post about Zaragoza - el capital de Aragon, that according to my family tradition one of my ancestors, being a soldier in the Vistula Legion infantry, took part in the 2 sieges of Zaragoza during the Napoleonic Wars. dario

I live and work in New York but we have a family house in a small town of Glowno, Poland. Plenty many battles and fights had taken place in and around the town, at least since 10th century all the way until early 1946 (when last independent Polish Home Army units fought the Soviet and communist...

hola Alex, como estas? esta Bonney es estupenda.. is she a historic(real) person, or just a sexy evocation of a pirate myth? va a tener armas o ella misma es una arma peligrosa :) dario

Congratulations on your new venture! And your figure is outstanding - in quaility and accuracy. The Teutonic Knights and their Order are one of the miniature modelling best areas to explore (especially since there are movies and books on this subject)- and, I am sure, very interesting to many...

fine work Monsieur Daniel! what is the scale of this sculpture by the way - is this figure done with a reference material from Thomas E. Mails 'The Mystic Warrior of the Plains' book or his other book on the warrios societies - "Dog Soldiers Societies of the Plains"? These books are probably...

Bravo! bravissimo! ....very animated figure and quite accurate in detail :) via Osprey book. Perhaps the horse's anatomy and movement are a bit off here and there ... but horses are the most difficult animals to draw, sculpt or paint. Consequently, this warhorse comes out very, very convincing...

hello again, I ahve some more info from Radek Sikora who wrote: This is mostly in replay to Enion's post but not limited to him :) A very concrete original example does exist for this particular wing as it is shown attached to this figure's back. We are talking about this one particular...

I like this figure but I wanted to seek second opinion and asked some frinds who know better:). Therefore I would like to post here comments from my friend who is a specialist on the Winged hussars. Radek Sikora, who has been long known as a passionate reanactor of the 17th century Polish hussar...

I agree wiyh Dan too. In my opinion it would be benficial if Mr. Merklein developed scales 75mm, 90mmm, 120 mm instead. And instead of these saddles and tack etc definitely we must have some Spanish mustangs, steppe tarpan/mogolian pony, akhal-teke and barb in those aforementioned scales. By...

I agree: a long rifle would be a rarity, but .... not an impossibility. During the pre-1768 period there were at least four riding seasons when the more eastern tribes (Shawnee, Delawares, Wyandots, Mingoes) rided deep into Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland. The Sawnees and Delawares...

well, it looks like a great figure but I dare to say could use soem improvement in so called cultural objects. To start - almost all these woodland indian figures seem to miss a couple of very important things that completed a woddland warrior's appereance - the ear adornments and nose disc...
