Just A Question....

[Gaudin]

Pete, never mind. Joke gone amiss, sorry, reference possibly too obscure. Just flooding your thread. Stopped now.

Nice one Ellie
An ECW Round head?

 

[diamond cutter]

Hey Gaudin-no probs!
I like the banter as you know!
Just had no idea what you were on about mate!

 

[ellie]

Nice one mate (Ellie is my little girl lol) but I will answer to anything mate. yep put me down for one
Ian

 

[Edward]

How about an Indian army lancer, like Madras Lancers with light blue uniform?

Or a Napoleonic German light horse trumpeter (Lancers of Berg) with a pink jacket?

Or Murat's ADC, Captain Manhes

Some good ones there Ed

 

[Piotrec]

I think that you guys are right-keep it smaller.
Ok then. 75mm subjects....?

Now you are talking. I believe that 75mm scale is perfectly suited for mounted subject. Not too expensive with a really good detail.

My first choice has to be a Polish Winged Hussar. No one has ever done mounted one in 75mm or larger. Even those in 54mm were not that great as you would expect. I would be in heaven if anyone could ever do one of these:

 

[diamond cutter]

cool! I like the first pic (on the left) more!

 

[Gaudin]

Now - to a Polish winged hussar I would say treble "Yes, please"!

I lost sleep when I saw this one, unfortunately a one off, 90 mm, Vasilij Birzul. To me it still remains an "ultimate" horse figurine

But if something like this was possible....

 

[Rich Sculpts]

How about Winston at Omdurman?

Reference

Seem to remember a figure way back when was very popular..

 

[Helm]

Richard Almond also did a 90mm Winged Hussar I have one that I'm going to do shortly, as I mentioned earlier another good one would be nice be wonderful in 200mm whether anybody could make it a worth while money maker I dunno Pete.

 

[Helm]

Another one that might be nice in a biggish scale a Celtic war chariot I know you can do Celts Pete

 

[Kreston]

I would love to see an action pose...horse at full gallop and lancer ready to strike. Either the 17th at Balaclava or the 21st Lancers at Omdurman.

 

[housecarl]

I'll join the posting images club.
Carl.

 

[taffjones]

I'd like a Dragoon guard at waterloo. Or maybe one of the two eagle takers.

So many excellent ideas there-I wish I was 20 again (probably wouldn't be a sculptor if that was the case!)
I do, as all people do, have preferences as to what figure to sculpt( and produce)
But sales have to be a deciding factor in any future project/release
I do like most of what has been suggested-I like history as we all do!
Apart from the subject of this thread, I will be sculpting and releasing a figure that might strike a cord with us all
I've always wanted to sculpt it! That's all I have to say about that (Forest Gump style! lol)
Keep them coming because if I don't do it then someone else may!

 

[diamond cutter]

Carl-I was going to sculpt that one when I had Spearhead Miniatures! It is a favourite of mine!
The 17th lancer pic was on the list too!

I can't wait to see it. If it is in 75mm you got my attention.

 

[diamond cutter]

Piotrec-that is some mighty awesome painting there -the flag is outstanding!

 

[Helm]

What is the horse wearing in this pic is it some sort of fly mask ?
