It is very interesting, complex{difficult} and beautiful vignette Aragorn!
Also it is very interesting to observe all process!
Please pay attention to position of one (right) leg{foot} a horse - displacement is necessary.
Continue, we shall look and take pleasure!
Yours faithfully, I do not say goodbye....

A wonderful SBS for everyone wanting to develop their own sculpting skills. Thanks.

You're off to a great start. Aside from the thickness of the lance and position of the horse's leg this piece shows lots of promise. ~Gary

I like this kind of SBS. It give's me thought's that it is time for me to sculpt my own figures. There are more possibilities with sculpting your own figures.
Great work.

The horse head seems a tad too large to me. Perhaps when it is all epoxied in it will look okay.

Exactly my own thoughts, Marc.

Keep the SBS going, son of Arathorn, its great inspiration and informative.

Yeah Janne,
Just looking for a vendor who sale head's, pelvis, and thorax for start. Oh, and some hands and feets would be welcome to. Then i like it in 1/32 scale.
But i find it hard to find.

Marc, get yourself a set of Preiser Acadamy Figures in 1/32 and go Frankenstein on them. Perhaps even recast some stuff. Combine with Historex spare heads in resin.

I think Andrea and Mig head would be useful as well.

Historex heads are too big to combine with Preiser since these are in true 1:32nd scale. You could also use old Airfix multipose figures if you can find them, they are quite good for conversion work, or sand them down as a base for your own sculpts - look at what Bill Horan did in his early days. If you prefer a slightly bigger scale you could use Historex body parts, too.

 

[megroot]

Thanks Guys,
gonna look over Historex site.

Great animation. Thanks for sharing the sbs.

I have not had a problem using Historex heads with Preiser figures. The resin heads are much closer to 1/32 then the old plastic heads.

Aragorn,

this is a really interesting project. Good luck and I think that Zlobov has given some good points on the horse anatomy.

Sorry for the late of my answer but I had some problems on my pc.
Thanks at all for the compliments.
For Zlobov: thanks a lot for the help. I tried to correct the position of the leg.
