Historex Spares Madness IV

[Steve Ettinger]

Its been a while since I've gotten back to this figure. This is the finished piece, from the WIP previous posts. The rules are only what's in my prodigious spare parts box can be used. Not the greatest painter in the world but I like it.

Nice job Steve... Always a fan of Historex conversion pieces

Really like this one - great to see one of the greatest mediums in the universe being used so imaginatively.

Cheers

One of the hardest horse colours to paint and you have seemed to pulled it off quite well, nice work

Got to love anything Historex - reminds me what can be done with these figures by someone who cares.

Nice work. I have a whole crate of Historex stuff. Some are boxes that are untouched since buying.

A salutary lesson to us all that a fine piece doesn't necessarily have to cost megabucks. Here I go, fossicking through the Historex spares boxes again

Thank you all for your comments, and kudos, Here are few pics of the next WIP. Egypt French chasseur a cheval taking a mameluk standard.

Excellent Steve. Lovely to see this wonderful medium being used. Looking forward to seeing this vignette develop.

Cheers

Both are looking great. I'm loving seeing what some talented folks have been able to achieve with not only older models but spares and conversion work. There's a lot to be said for 'built not bought'

 

[OldTaff]

Couldn't agree more. Great basework, Steve; tells its own story. This is going to be colourful

Cheers, Alan

 

[John Belcher]

Great stuff Steve. Two brilliant projects. Have to say, I love the Historex models /spares etc...and what you can do with them.

These are excellent Steve. You're getting so much character and animation into the 'stiff' plastic parts. You must have quite a generous spares box too!
Cheers

I love these figures produced from spare parts, they are so individual . This looks a really interesting figure and very nicely done but what is it ?

Dear Chippy, The single figure is my idea of a Horse Artillery of the Line officer attached to Lasalles Hussars

 

[Steve Ettinger]

Alan, thanks for comment on the base work for the Egypt piece, I made it all from only 2 wine corks and a champagne cork.

 

[OldTaff]

AFTER, or before you'd drunk them? It's a great job, Steve Looking at an everyday object with a bit of lateral thinking, then adapting it to an entirely different purpose ---all in the finest traditions of modelling. Looking forward to the completion.

Both pieces are nice. I am another Historex fan, and love to create one of a kind figures from the vast array of parts. I love Mamelukes and look forward to the completion of the Egypt vignette.

I too love Historex as a medium. I'm looking forward to its completion. Steve, will you be going to the MMSI Chicago Show in October?
