Northern Cheyenne Warrior - La Meridiana Review

[Guy]

FR54-20
Northern Cheyenne Warrior, 19th century
Sculpted by Eduard Perez Delgado
Painted by Danilo Cartacci
54mm (actual 63mm to eyes)
15 white metal parts

This is another beautiful kit scculpted by the hands of Eduard Perez Delgado. It consists of 15 white metal parts.

The figure comes in a light cardboard box with all the parts sandwiched between two layers of foam.

The main parts of the kit are the upper & lower torso and the fitment to each half is spot on. The casting has minimal seam lines and can be easily removed with a file of xacto knife.

Above is the upper section of the torso with the head. Exceptional detail and facial likeness to Native Americans of the plains area.

Above we see both sides of the arms and sheild. The sheild feathers are cast separtly (see below)

Above are the 3 sections that make up the coup-stick / lance.

The kit is supplied with a simulated rock base in white metal
​

Above are the separate cast accessories, knife, arrows in quiver and feathers.
​

Above is the Box art photos. The figure was painted by Danilo Cartacci.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit depicting the Northern Cheyenne Warrior. This will be next on my bench as I am currently working on the Poste Militaire version of the same Indian. Minimal clean-up of the casting required.

You missed a part in your review.
Taped to the painting instruction sheet is a tiny piece of white metal. It took me quite a while to figure this out, but after visiting the website and examining the multiview images, I realized it was the tip of the bow which attaches to the end of the bow quiver in this part

to complete it to this level.

.

Note the differences between the two images at the left end of the quiver.

I received my figure in the post this morning - I was wondering where to attach that little piece !

 

[Guy]

Thanks Al. I opened the instructions and sure enough.....taped right there. I didn't bother to open the 1/4 folded sheet because I knew it was in Italian.

Sorry guys.

Hello Stephen,
Glad you received the figures.
Just to inform all Planeteers that we have translated all the historical context of all La Meridiana figures (except for their more recent release of the Iroquois Multi-pose Warrior) to English. You may view the English version on our website by clicking on 'More Details' next to the product in question at http://www.elgrecominiatures.co.uk. Hope this will be of help.
Cheers,
Matt
