Wonderful model ... but for me too expensive for a 75 mm on horse ... 30 euros more than Pegaso !!!

Great figure.
Would love to buy one. It's expensive yes, but you get something.
And on the Pegaso site the prices are without 20% VAT

Marc

It is extremely nice Marc , But £30.00 dearer than Pegaso and that includes Vat
I know the sculptor is one of the best but that is pricey .
I have never bought a Romeos figure so no Idea as to quality of metal and casting ; but at this price it would have to be as good as metal models .

Just a little point of interest ; can you actually control a horse on a slack rein as depicted
I know the first time I ever sat on one and held the reins like that I was told to dismount and got a boot up the arse

According to Mrs Helm it is possible if the horse is trained to leg commands hope that helps Ron
