Cavalry Charge at Marston Moor - version 2

You certainly capture the dynamics with your figures

Making a version 2 is always an important decision. It is made a little easier by the previous work, more precise than a plan or a drawing because it is in 3D. We can see better the improvements to be made. It is also more difficult because we try to do better and it takes a lot of effort and energy to stay motivated. Bravo for that.

Simon - if I modelled Napoleonic i would use Historex bodies as well; their level of detailing is still good. Like you I would sculpt new arms, I find the Historex arms look a bit stiff and unnatural.

Victor - it was a bit upsetting, but these things happen, at least it is fixable.

Malkie - thanks for the support

Nap - I'm also interested to see how I do the straps and flying apostles! If they are laying against the torso I will ose the sense if movement. Fortunately they are small and therefore light.

Melenie - thanks for the positive comment. Getting the right reference photos is essential, and often takes a bit of lateral thinking to find something suitable.

Bran - i'll keep motivated buy doing other, completely different, projects at the same time. For instance this evening I have been working on a couple of 1/285 scale bridges for a couple of 'mico-dioramas' using GHQ wargaming tanks and figures.

Its been a while but I am back with this project and I have sculpted a third fallen figure, although I think I will only use two of them. Here he is:

Here is the figure along with one of the earlier new figures;

Hi Peter

The new figure looks good , nice to see the update , wether you use 2 or 3 ( think I’d use them all ) they will portray the danger and chaos under a charge

Thanks for sharing

Looking forward to seeing more

Happy brushes

PS Found some articles you did in Mil Modelling Specials ...impressed

You have accomplished not once ,but twice doing a casualty figure that looks the part nice one.

Malkie

 

[Merryweather]

Oh use them both!

 

[Briggsy]

Nice sculpt, can't really make the decision on how many to use until you put everything together in a dress rehearsal I suppose. It must depend on the composition, cracking good work though and a shame to put one of them to one side.

Lovely work. I would be tempted to use them all if possible, but like Simon says, it does depend on the composition.
