Marechal Patrice Mac Mahon v Frankreich - Puchala Review

[Guy]

8011
Marechal Patrice Mac Mahon v Frankreich, 1870
120mm resin & white metal
sculpted by Ulrich Puchala
11 parts

This is another figure representing the Prussian period of 1870 produced by Ulrich Puchala Miniatures.

Once again the kit comes in a light weight cardboard box with the parts sealed inside a baggie and the box art attached to the lid. The kit comprises 11 parts in a light yellow resin and white metal parts.

The cape above attaches to the right shoulder and as you can see is seamless and loaded with Puchala's attention to detail.

The right and left leg are individually cast with a support rod being easil removed on the left leg ( helps support the cast durring the mold casting process ).

The above photos show the detail sculpted into the front and rear view of the chest.

The left arm attaches to a socket in the left shoulder and the hans holds a telescope (cast separtely).

Above are the frontal and side view of the head.

Above are the front and back view of the hat, gloved hand and telescope. The hat is slotted to ensure proper fitment.

The sword and sash end along with the spurs are cast in white metal.

Above is the cast base representing the top of a pillar with slots to ensure proper alignment to the feet.

An excellent color guide is furnished with color photos of paintings and references.

Conclusion:
Another excellent kit from Puchala. Highly reccomended.
