Garde du Corps from Centauro Line

[Ulrich]

I have got the kit with the garde du corps and so here a short review about the new figure

Producer: Centauro Line Miniatures
Name (Order-Number): Garde du Corps 1910 – 1914, field service (9006)
Scale: 90mm
Material: Resin and Metall
Parts: 27, if I have counted correct
Scupltor: Ulrich Puchala
Price: 95 Euro
Homepage : www.maeck.de

Painting Instruction: One side with a colour picture and some instructions

Helpfull sides: For example: http://www.kaisersbunker.com/

Casting
Resin: Lightgrey, not smelling resin

Mould plugs: Great ones, but easy to cut away.

Bubbles: Some at the belly and at the ears of the horse. One head of the soldier had one at his chin

Pinholes: None

Quality of Casting: Very good

Fitting: No problems, because all points are clear. It could be that I must warm the resin at the horse legs, because I had problems to get them into the holes of the base. I think I must do the same with the saddle

Historical accuracy: If you know the sculptor, you know that everything is allright

Pictures:

Result: A very good figure. The price is ok and a must have for every friend of this period. The Figure and the horse are good specified. And you get two different heads

Ulrich,
It is a big one, but i think that Markus and Ulrich did a great job on the sculpting, research and casting.
So it is worth every Euro......

Great review on what appears to be a very good sculpted, and cast figure.
As the old saying goes " a picture speaks a thousand words".

Cheers
