"Old Releable" Cavalry Scout - Lost Battalion Review

[Guy]

TLB-15001
"Old Reliable" US Cavalry Scout
150mm Resin
Sculpted & Painter unknown
13 parts + Sheet lead for fringe

I purchased this figure at the recent Tulsa Show held earlier in the month. Although I have painted several of these years ago I had to have this classic again.

Now cast by The Lost Battalion and coming in a light yellow resin this figure also includes a small piece of sheet lead / foil for the fringe.

The torso being the main part and is well cast with minimal seam lines to remove. The fringe on the jacket is easily cut and attached prior to painting.

The boots are cast sepertly and fit snuggly onto each leg. There is also a seperate spur cast for the back of each boot.

[Guy]

The head is a seperate piece and fits snuggly down into the neck of the torso.

The hat is placed onto the head once the mold sprue is removed.

Both arms are cast separate and attached to the torso.
​

The rifle is cleanly cast into the gloved hand.
​

A separate resin base is included.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit of a US Army Scout of the old west.
