Picking up where I left off after my review on the Thracian,here is the other of Georgi's most recent releases,a hussite warrior.
Georgi has chosen to recreate a hussite warrior standing beside his pavise ,with his war flail resting on his shoulder.Once more,anatomy and posture are well thought,designed and rendered.His quilted armour is very convincing and realistic.The mail elements of his protective gear are some of the best I have ever seen in 1/32 scale.He is sporting a simple but robust war-hat with low,turned down rim over his eyes (the fact that the figure's face is so well defined in an area which from a casting point of view could be called "negative space" is one more testimony to Georgi's efficient casting).His other arms include a simple sword hanging from his belt and a war flail,probably adapted or improvised from a agricultural implement.The chain links that attach the flail's head to the pole are sculpted and cast and visible one by one,a delicate piece which also provides ample evidence for Georgi's skills.
The pavise is made of wood and covered on the outside with leather or gesso,providing a great opportunity for various free hand designs from the period (some research will be necessary).
The figure is historically accurate,full of character and detail.As with the Thracian the pics are not the best possible,just the best my skill as a photographer (non existent) and my phone could provide
