[ivopreda]

Did Lasalle wore some uniform different from the classic painted by Detaille?

the answer is yes, in his previous career he was 22nd chasseur chef d'escadron during the egyptian campaign...

here he is in that uniform

Dear Sir, I follow with awe, your conversions of the Metal Models products. My question to you is; Are the parts that you use, can they be purchased separately.

 

[ivopreda]

Hi Steve,

the answer to your question is depend... the horse is made using Eisembach parts, the horse is divided in quarter and you can compose any horse you want choosing inside the 86 different attitude.

For the rider is a little bit more complicate, I use, when I don't sculpt the part, frequently Metal Modeles pieces that come from my spare parts reserve.

painting started, oils for laces, face and leather. Acryique for cloths

Lovely lacework, Ivo....you seem to be rattling on with this. Your techniques are a great inspiration to me.

Cheers, Alan
