Ironside English Civil War 1645

[Chezzie]

Morning all from a very wet, cold north west England!

Just finished this lovely figure so I thought I’d share it;

English ‘Ironside’ Parliamentarian Cavalryman from the Civil War who I’ve depicted at the Battle of Naseby in 1645. Once organised and trained by their Colonel, Oliver Cromwell, they became formidable cavalry well organised and disciplined.

The kit is from Robert Lane at Elan 13
Sculpted by Mike Blank
65mm
Plinth by Richard Wharton at Oakwood Studios
Painted in acrylics, oils and inks

The English Civil War isn’t well represented in the Figure world so this is a gem!

That's very nice painting Chezzie, as you say, a period that's neglected. ( probably proved wrong now)
Nice leather work.

Great job on this Chezzie. They’re a super set of figures from this period by Elan13 and this looks to be no exception.
