Hi all
Thankyou for your replies and help-I therefore thought that as there seems to be little on the forum about this figure a quick review might help anyone intending to buy this fig. I have also included some pics.
My apologies if this is now in the wrong post but I hope to continue this as I make it and being a slow worker it might actually help me finish it sometime this century.
The figure retails at Historex for £111.30+pp
It comes in a very sturdy foam lined box and I must say more care has been given to the packaging and actual packing than other Andrea figs-But for the price I expect this.
All is cast in metal and there are numerous parts. The finer details come in plastic bags and looking at the very easy to follow instructions all seem fairly straight forward-I HOPE.
Even the moustache is seperate and the lance comes as a piece of alluminium tube that is required to be cut. A good thing I believe and will stop it bending over time.
The horse, with three hooves on the ground and locating by pegs should stand the test of time.
The overall quality is very good-BUT I did buy the figure soon after release. Only time will tell if the quality lasts as the moulds age!!!!!!
The metal seems a very good quality and the casting I would say is just short of Poste Militaire, but not far off.
Well thats it for the minute. Please look at the pics if you are interested and I look forward to posting him as he comes along.
Kindest regards
Graham
