Mounted Viking (Frank Miniatures)

[Ulrich]

Getting the new mounted viking from Frank Miniatures I want to show you some details in my little review.

Sculptor is Carl Reid, Scale 75mm, Price 75,00 Euro plus postage.

The figure depends on 15 pieces. The most are in a light-yellow, not smelling resin and some tin parts.

I found no pinholes and the fitting is good. You can see at the horse that only on the topside some magic-sculpt-works are to do.

I can only highly recommended that figure and it is an unusual figure

hello
i have ordered this kit too.i am already curious to inspect it.i think i will paint the horse in an grey to get an good contrast to the rider in greens and browns.otherwise with an brown horse it might get to dark.
the pose is something different and therefore i dared to try me in an horse and rider.
cheers

If you remove all the casting blocks from the horse the fit will be better!

Ulrich
I picked this up at Euro and it is superb in every way particularly in the sense of movement.
As Carl says if you remove the blocks first you'll find the horse clicks together, any gaps are so small that the adhesive will fill.
