Moz - your photos are making the rest of us look unfunny. Go and sculpt something.

And if he sculpt something funny? Double win for him.

Well for me 75mm seems big enough
what about Prussian 1900, very colourfull, nice uniforms

 

[Gaudin]

Oh , stuff it!

Pete - just sculpt a 200mm burger. Op Op Tesco style

I would have thought that War Horse would have inspired some more models. There's some wonderful WW1 art work here: http://www.first-world-war.com/great_war_artist.php?Artist=Chris_Collingwood_World_War_One_Art

17th Lancers WW1: could be produced with a variety of heads/headgear for the Western Front or Middle East:

The wwi Lancer as a 75mm is starting to look favourite now!
I was going to do this very same one some years ago

And why not try an Australian Light Horse charging at Beersheba 1917 !

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.

Personally would love to see a mounted 200mm figure especially 21st lancers at Omdurman or maybe a melville and cog hill saving the colours at Isandlewana but would have to say the cost may be an issue in the end perhaps a 120 mm in either subject would be more realistic.....

 

[diamond cutter]

To be honest, the cost wouldn't be all that bad really-it depends on how much profit can be lived with as that, as has been said before, is what pays for the next release (in my case at least)
I have some other things to sculpt before though!

Hi,
for what it's worth : some wonderful large scale "mannekins" were done in the 70ies by Daniel Lepeltier: http://daniel-lepeltier.perso.sfr.fr/mannequins.html
His work was featured now and then in "Uniformes" magazine.

I always liked his Chasseur d'Afrique, and I think it's a great subject too for a larger scale (200mm or 120mm) mounted figure

good luck

 

[Zastrow.cuirassier]

Yes why not a "Chasseur d'Afrique" in Crimea, those how saves the rest of the British Light Brigade in Balaclava !

 

[Funky50]

Theres nothing that quite shows the fluidity of movement for me as a man on horseback and would love to see a 200m scale anything mounted and victorian really, also like the idea of a dismounted rider with bare horse though as that would give the converters something to work with as well ...I for one would buy into that ...as you know Pete..... great idea

 

[MCPWilk]

Go for 90/120mm (or 150mm?) for us old dogs with dodgy eyesight! Different heads/headgear would be good as well.

Yeah some of us struggle personally I'd like a 500mm scale with my eyesight

Ray Lamb did a 90mm dismounted cuirassier and horse in the 70s I think. I'm not sure how that sold. Large scale horse modellers have lots of options from the resin horse hobby.

Have you thought of a horse in motion with an undressed maniquin that can be converted by dressing him in putty?

Someone already posted that idea above - lady Godiva.

 

[Johan]

Oh btw if it doesn't have to be a military figure, why not try something "old west" inspired by these paintings (by Charles Russell, some very authentic and accurate paintings of the old west)
If I recall well Russell himself did some sculpting also in a larger scale of subjects of his paintings.

 

[diamond cutter]

I like the wild west stuff.......
