120 mm Australian Light Horse, work in progress

[Fransab]

Hi everybody!

I know that they aren´t good photos, but I wanted to share with you my new work. It´s an Australian Light Horse, 120mm, from Fort Duquesne. I hope that it likes, and of course, comments are welcome to improve day by day.

Thank you very much for looking,
best regards.

Hi Francisco,

This is a classic sculpt by Phil Walden who is a Planeteer and will hopefully chime in once he sees this post.

Typical of Phil's sculpting style he has posed the Lighthorseman in a casual stance rolling a cigarette up from his tobacco tin and with a cigarette paper dangling from his lip. I did this figure myself over 20 years ago and I'm surprised to see it still in circulation.

You've made a great start with the flesh tones and the slouch hat and I will be following your progress with interest. If you need any advice on uniform details, let me know.

So annoyed I missed these figures of Phil's. Only manged to get the Lewis Gummer so will look enviously on as this project continues Francisco.

Thanks for sharing mate

This figure is as rare as rocking horse poo. Looking forward to seeing it finished

Nice work. Glad to see you've painted the blue enamel neck of the water bottle. Keep up the good work.
