Historex British LD

[Pilgrim53]

Collectors Series, in a box; needed a some changes to the parts, sword and sabretache were wrong for instance. Guess it came out before the 1796 Sabre was available! Took a while to do, proved challenging. Note to self, next Historex project will be more straightforward. Final pose, figures weight through left hand and feet in stirrups, hopefully Pluck up the courage now to paint it!

Congrats so far - A lot of work with these old Historex kits

Looking forward to seeing it painted up.

Before you prime it I'd just have a quick look at the muscles in the neck which might need a little tweak? (I've attached a picture to show what I mean)

Cheers

Thanks for that; shall have a look and compare; the whole thing needs a bit of tidying.

Liking the look of this a lot! I'm a great fan of British cavalry figures and this looks like it's going to be a good one. Following with interest. Regards Pete

Pilgrim, Nice job on the British Light Dragon Kit. Well recall it and think you have done a very nice job building it. Look forward to seeing it painted! For me the painting is the area I fall short of completing. Thanks for sharing your work!

Looks very good so far. I also agree that the horse's neck muscles need a bit of a tweak. Look forward to seeing some paint on it.
