fine knights, great painting job! What is the name of that second coat of arms - is it historical one? did you sculpt the second knight? and yes, we need more photos:) and are you going to put more pictures on the Polish modeler's forum PWM? to byloby dobre! And when you going to sculpt the most...

Great work, amigo! VERY REALISTIC! very beautiful, but can you give us more shots, porfavor

hey guys, thank you for your response. I probably get the mounted one or the Polish noble one and see for myself what this company is all about gracias, dziekuje, danke, merci, spasiba, arigato:)

hello, has anyone worked on "the Polish Winged Hussar with a horse" by Fonderie Miniatures? Squadron who is their distributor in North America has this one as well as many other horses and other figurines by this manufacturer. The abovementioned figure is a 90mm resin one...

hola Alejandro, the Otomi is not un miembro de la tribu Otomi (not a member of the Otomi tribe) pero un gerrero azteca veterano cuauchic o quauchic g cautivos o mas(but an Aztec warrior of the veteran cuauchic level 6 captives or more) el grado mas alto de la soldatesca azteca (the highest...

hola, Alejandro great work and great subject matter: the Knight of Jaguar order or el voluntario de la muerte. Are you going to do an Eagle knight as well, and perhaps finally the Otomi " shorn one"... or maybe even tlatoani Cuauhtemoc himself? well, looking forward to see your knights of...

hey, English no problem :) I just liked your figures and your topic: alexander, especially since he will be mounted. I am still learing the sculpting, I use plasteline (non-hardening clay) to train my hand and eye. I have done some figures from Sup.Sculpey, Fimo, Magicsculp and Aves , but...

Hola amigo, to start with "horsed hero" means - heroe montado, but I made a typo - I should have typed 'your horsed hero'... Ancient breed used by Alexander might have been a Nisean horse (Bucephalus was probablya Nisean)- comes from Nissa in Asia Minor, then part of the Persian Empire, this...

estupendo, don Alejandro :), you are an expert on sculpey, super sculpy I presume. What did you paint with and what primer did you use? let's see what tyour horsed hero will look like, but looks great already. Recently Ann Hyland published a book on the ancient horses, perhaps could help you...

Gino, great job! and here have some websites: Manesse http://www.manesse.de/manesse0-9.shtml Manesse http://www.tempora-nostra.de/manesse/manesse_start.shtml look uner Heidelberg university website Polish heraldry: http://akromer.republika.pl/herby_tab01.html...

just a couple things - should not this warrior chief be wearing some sort of war/face painting. After all was not his people custom to paint themselves for hunt and war? and where might be his knife and his tomahawk (warhatchet)? finally, his powder horn - hidden from you by hsi rifle but...

A bit off the subject this is to Gary Dombrowski by the way Gary, Are you related to the famous Polish (and French) general of the Napoleonic Wars, who himslef actually was of Saxon stock and barely spoke Polish language when entering the Royal Polish Army at a tender age of 16, paradoxically...

I got this book and I am in process of reading it. It is quite interesting, both in reading and application- while a bit more geared towards an airbrush artist. Because Mr. Castro is a fine, accomplished artist with great old masters training (Art Students League - the best place for learning...

bravissimo! Mr. Merklein has a rival in Messer Sartorello, and we'all, the historical miniatures enthusiasts, have another great sculptor of horses and soldiers to look forward to Bravissimc!

hopefully this is only the begining of a new era in the historical miniatures art/hobby. I hope for Mr. Merklein equines to lead the way to more acurate portrayal of the warhorses. i.e. when the equines of a particular time period do look like ones from that time period, or while...

the waterbased oils are just fine, any company will do -e.g. VanGogh. They dry in about 3-5 days but if you use the special water based drying media with them - W&N makes some excellent ones - they dry in matter of 12 hours. And the good thing is the brushes are washed with water (sable brushes...

good job on the figure! But on this figure his bow is too short and not at all Turkish-like, this guy belonged to infantry - as we all know it the Janissaries were the elite, crack infantry. He must belong to the 15th century corp, for by the end of the 15th century all janissary units addopted...

Sorry Gino, I wanted to say Gino not Dino, my appologies

I agree with Dino. I have their medieval knight -dismounted knight circa 1390, and 4 Polish 17th century figures - all in 54 mm, - and for such very detailed figurines their box art is absolutely unsatisfactory unless you know the subject and that is your game. Detail and amount of adorments on...

just to butress the Indian-French proportions in the Braddock battle - 600 Indians (Potttawatomi, Wyandot, Miami, Shawnee, Ottawa... pretty plenty to show in their 8 plates in the book), 208 French regulars, 146 militia.... so we shall see - after all Osprey is nto known for the finest research...
