WIP Line Lancer

[Ron Tamburrini]

Pushed it on! You're not kidding Ron.
It looks great and it's giving me the urge to paint something Napoleonic (the first one ) myself.

Well he does have a plane to catch Roger

Bavaria?

Bavaria?

Paul says I have to put him on a charge for not shaving . I am unsure because most of these guys would shave on campaign with cold water which will give you a blue beard

Yes but it doesn't meet the artistic impression we have in our heads.... so get him shaved.

Pushed this on a bit , but still lots to do to the trooper.

Looking really good Ron.
I am planing, albeit a long way off, a mounted figure at the trot. Would you call this gait a trot?
Keep up the good work Ron, I am really enjoying these SBS's
All the best

[Ron Tamburrini]

I would say so Keith , looks like a two beat movement "opposite legs of the ground "see pic

 

[Wings5797]

That is exactly what i am looking for Ron. Even the head and neck are close to the pose I want.
With the position of the two straight legs conversion from a standing horse should be a reasonable job.
Many thanks for digging this photo out, I will use it as my master.
All thr best,
Keith

Keith it is almost the same as the lancer horse , just the opposite legs .

Hi Ron,

Pushed it on a bit must be one of the understatements of the century! It looks pretty great already.

Cheers

FYI Bonapartes still produce the dragoon officer albeit at a hefty price.

I am sure that it's the opposite legs that make it. Other pictures I have looked at were with legs working in pairs.
Thanks again Ron.
