But don't expect your own creations to be consistent, no matter how hard you try. I know because I am speaking from experience! Bonehead That is why I try to make white metal castings of everything that needs to be consistent in scale. Working with selfmade anatomy figures for a...

Truth has been spoken. This is something I keep repeating - work to scale, not to size. The only scale that seems to work for most of the manufacturers is 1/35th - being geared mainly towards WWII collectors and diorama builders. There you got all those AFVs, technical equipment und stuff, which...

Wasn't Caligula murdered as a man of under 30 years? So this cannot be him.

Thx for the review. A comparison with a standing figure would be nice. Is this 'true' 54 mm (i.e. 1/32nd scale) or more the size of Historex horses? Still looking for a not-oversized, in-scale model of a horse.

Fantastic sculpt, for sure a joy to paint for those who collect the scale. Alas, historically not quite consistent if the life data given are correct. The figure's face clearly depicts an elderly man (for the time) of around, say, 50 years or so. So the costume should be of around 1650, but...

Possibly the best sword hilt I have ever seen in any scale. Impossible to do in a smaller scale, I am afraid, and impossible to be cast. This is going to be a really great model.

1520?

Hello Willem, very nice and clean work, I admire your ability to turn a musket barrel from brass in that scale. If you look at the musket shooting pose in the famous de Gheyn Drill Book (Waenhandelinghe van Roers Musquetten ende Spiessen) you actually see the raised ellbow as you show it...

Wspaniała praca!

As far as I remember portrait photos of Rasputin this is an excellent likeness. Great sculpting!

These laces are not metallic. If I am correct he is supposed to be trooper of the Chasseurs à Cheval of the Imperial Guard. The troopers' lace was in a light orange type of colour called 'aurore' by the French. Have a look at the scabbard and you see the difference between laces and metals (brass).

I think they were fairly large on those seamen's jackets, much larger than on army uniforms, not sure if they were THAT large. Nice sculpt on a not often seen subject. Looking forward to seeing it finished. PS. How did you do the grid?

I love the changes you made. The eyes look a bit weird, there is so much white in them. The wolf is very well fed.

megroot, in my eyes the vegetation does not look like varen/ Farn/ fern at all, at least not in this big scale. It's looking rather like some agricultural plant. Otherwise brilliantly painted figure.

Obviously nice kit, but it should be titled baroque, not renaissance.

This is just fantastic. I am a fervent supporter of non-battlefield scenes like this one. Actually, I have been long planning to do something like that in a smaller scale, with more village people and military personell around. Very well done and congrats on the medal.

Great idea to mix a 75 mm figurine with a 54 mm horse to represent an ancient small horse breed. It worked out very well. The blood stains on the Thracian warrior are very well done. I find the face of this one a bit flat, the eyes are a little small, but maybe that's just me. The scene...

What does that mean scalewise? Because I learnt '54 mm' may be anything between 1/28 down to 1/35. If it's 1/32 it would be fine for me.

Nice, but why does he not wear his helmet? Would a knight in battle ever do that? Don't tell me he lost it. It's just one of those liberties figuremakers are inclined to take.
