Will do Richie... tomorrow.
Oh yeah, sculpted, painted and based... No prob. I'm off all week, so, tons of time
I just finished the rough draught of the cuirassier trapped under the horse and the Russian preparing to dispatch him. I repeat, rough draught .
Originally, I had this pair at the back of the base but I may move them to the empty front corner... I just don't know... depends what I can come up with for the other two figs I'd like to add to the final scene... or not... arrggh, my head hurts

You're killing me Richie... If I keep adding figs, it'll be the size of the diningroom table before long.Hi Colin,
I did not realise you were off all week, so what about fitting another horse and rider in, in this sort pose. You can sleep when you get back to work
cheers
Richie

Thanx Steve... You'll be waiting a long time for paintLooks great Colin can't wait for the paint
Would that be the "Stonewall" dio? That's the one that got me started on this one... So you better get back to workLooking very promising project Colin, I'll be watching your progress,
you just remind me a project I have left aside for a long time
That might be the way to go... I've accumulated a bunch of battlefield debris to dress the base... that might just fill the open corner.To keep it from getting too crowded and not draw attention away from the central guy, you could just put in some random equipment or cannon related items as opposed to another figure.
That's kinda what I had in mind... exactlyThere is always the 3rd option: wounded guy on hands and knees/crawling, clutching wound and grimacing. Bill Horan (my favorite miniaturist of all time) did a number of these in his vignettes. Here is one :
Notice how, even on the ground and seemingly out of the action, he is looking back at the main action which leads the viewer that way as well.
