Cavalryman 8th Texas / Grenadier Guard - Elite review

[Guy]

RG/Bust .01 &.02 (limited Edition)
Available only Directly from Elite
Cavalryman 8th Texas Gettysburg & Grenadier Guard, Hashin, 1885
Sculpted and painted by Raul Latorre

I recently visited Elite's website and was reading in their news section about the Limited Edition release of the 2 Latorre bust only through Elite. I contacted Manuel and ordered one. The busts both came in a single box (standard for elite) packed in foam for protection.

The Confederate comes in 3 parts and the Grenadier comes in 2 parts. I immediatey noticed the new bust plinth made by Luca Piergentili and see this as a definate improvement.

Below we have the Confederate:

The set also includes a color guide for both busts:

Conclusion:
Excellent re-release by Elite with slight mold lines to clear with a scalpel. Beautiful castings and fittment to plinth. I am glad to see Elite bring these classics back to us.
