Junior Officer Scots Greys 1815 - Future Release.

[Grod]

Hello Folks
Some 3D renders of a future release sculpted by Nello Rivieccio.
It will be produced in various scales and formats in due course. I will post up further info once it is available.
Cheers

Very nice indeed, he's gonna be stunning with a good paint job.

I think that's fabulous.

A stunner. I normally go for 75mm but this quality calls out for 120mm.

It has to be said Gordon that you're knocking it out the park every time these days!

Stunning, outstanding and more. Can't wait to get my hands on this and the upcoming Lancer.

Jaw dropping detail and pose. Must have classic in the making.

 

[Martin64]

Superb.

 

[Viking Bob]

Fantastic detail, again I love 75s but will think about the larger scale.
Knocking them out the park.

Nello has been very prolific of late and long may it continue because he’s a fabulous sculptor.

I really like the way the rider is leaning back to maintain his balance.

Another vote here for 75mm.

 

[Mike Stevens]

That’s something I’d paint in 54MM

 

[pinkfloyd]

Great release, must have.

Thanks for sharing

I think you are bang on Steve. I think Nello is the top of the tree in the 3D sculpting field and continues to create fantastic sculpts.

 

[Grod]

Thanks for the support Folks which is always appreciated.
Nello will divide the sculpt into parts and send these files to Tommi Worton who will print them for moulding and casting. Tommi will also work out the scales and formats to be used such as conventional bust, v bust,horse bust etc.
I hope to have at least one variation available for Christmas, probably 120mm.
Cheers

This is superbly done. There are inaccuracies with the use of the reins and the bit is too bulky, which, like weapons, is often the case with scale models. The stirrups are also too bulky. If he is holding one pair of reins, it should be the curb rein, not the snaffle rein, but cavalry officers of the time were usually outstanding horseman who seemed to regard a cavalry charge as only one step up from hunting, much to Wellington's disquiet (!), and would usually have hold of both reins. Men-at-Arms No.138, British Cavalry Equipments 1800 - 1941 and Chapter five of British Napoleonic Uniforms by Franklin, both have detaails of cavalry bridles of the time. The latter also shows how the reins were held, which was also in the Historex catalogues of the past. Franklin's book is a mine and wealth of information for any British Wellingtonian modellers.

This looks stunning. And the advantage of 3D sculpting is that the inaccuracies that Mike points out can be corrected relatively easily (compared to physical sculpts). Hopefully that will happen, at least in regard to how he is holding the reins.....

Thanks for this Nigel.
I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion and there is always a compulsion on this forum to voice this but what you see is what you get. At this stage of the production I'm not changing a thing on it. I'm not a believer in sculpting by committee, I've tried it and It doesn't work.

Fair dos, it's your call. I'll probably get the 54mm one and tweak it myself if i feel the need.......
