Officier d'Artillerie de la Garde Impériale à Cheval, 1809 (1:18 & 1:30 scale)

Bit unfair on Bonapartes Mike, Most 90mm mounted kits are around £160 and the Post Militaire is a classic. It is also more like 100/110mm and a large chunk of metal-Good value in my opinion.

PLUS 1 - superb kit !

Well this is certainly impressive. The detail on the model is amazing and the painting is superb.

It will be very interesting to see the first open box review showing the actual parts and the fit, and also to see the SBS or painting guide as it sounds like it combines acrylics and oils.

For this price ($260) the fit should be perfect, and it clearly won't displace traditional sculpting yet, but it's good to see that the hobby is moving forward with new technologies and approaches to keep it fresh and attractive to the next generation.

PS: I agree on the Bonaparte's kit. I think that it's good value

 

[Huw63]

In due course I'm going to get this one!

By the way conversion to Gurad Chasseur in Service Dress would be easier than conversion to a Line Chasseur officer. Many other possibilites open with this kit too.

Cheers

The Poste Militaire equivalent (Chasseur) is still on a par and even at over £100 is better value for money.

I can personally vouch for the Bonapartes/Post Militaire Chasseur....superb casting and a lot of metal for the money

Great release, very nice. I like a lot the previous figure in horseback, the chasseur officer, fine casting and clean and easy assembly. I see this one is in the same line.

Why they do not offer the figure in 75 mm scale, which has become more and more standard in Europe, remains a mystery to me!

Absolutely correct . 90mm mounted border on the manikin scale . looks very nice though

Really clean and realistic paint work. The saddle looks like wool. Great work.

This is a great piece of painting , and I may do this one , the only thing is the shade of blue , should it not be a lot darker " not a criticism " just an observation should I decide to do this one .

 

[Ronaldo]

The more I look at this the more I want it even at the hefty price and wrong scale for me .

And can I do it justice re the painting.

 

[Ronaldo]

I see this is on the Andrea web site also listed as a 54mm with no price as yet .
Is this just wishful thinking on my part
