WIP Critique Andrea 90mm Mounted Hussar Captain,

[Paul Casson]

This is virtually done. Lovely kit with the exception of the reins which i replaced with foil.

Nice work Paul
I have always thought the horses head is out of proportion to the body tho

 

[Viking Bob]

Nice neat paintwork, you should be pleased with the overall result.

 

[Oda]

I agree with Kagemusha as far as the head is concerned which of course is none of your fault.The mere fact that you undertook this challenge in this enormous scale and came out with something like the figure above speaks volumes of your modelling skills.Congrats.

Oda.

 

[anstontyke]

really love the horse and animal skin. excellent painting

 

[Paul Casson]

Many thanks for the kind words chaps...i never actually noticed the head abnormality but now you've said it i have to admit the horse has a fair old melon. Bit bizarre with Andrea as they normally get this stuff right.

 

[MCPWilk]

Very nicely done.

Mike

 

[Paul Casson]

Hi ham hactually rather good me old china thanks for hasking.

I am in the office early with a monster sized bacon on toast, Amazon have just told me my new watch will be here this morning, and I am looking at a lovely Napoleonic mounted figure that I should have in my stash.

If only my granny was still alive I'd sell her for one of these kits.

Have alovely day buddy and we'll meet next month.

Paul, this is one for the podium. Very crisply painted in terms of the rider and the horse's tack. The horse is very well rendered as well.
Top marks, I really do like this one. Nice to see an 'old fashioned' Napoleonic mounted figure. I say that as you don't get many on here. They're expensive to to buy, very time consuming to finish and are unwieldy....but when done this well - worth it!

 

[Paul Casson]

Cheers Pew, thanks for the very kind words...i too love a nice mounted figure especially in 90mm...picked up the Poste mounted Hussar from Barrie Hynde a while back, beautiful sculpt but crazy complex.

 

[Paul Casson]

Paul,
yer cant best a bacon growler fust thing in the a.m.
Hows the complex evening of Waterloo coming along?
Cheers.
