Sculpture transformation aulo Gago

Painted by :Sérgio Ferrão

Hi, this is one complete work with some step by step photos. This was my first and unique transformation. The materials I use are: Bicycle is from Tamiya, photo etched from Nimix and I use two Hornet Heads for the figures, all the rest was sculpted with one mix of Magic Sculpt and Green putty ,hi also made some sculpture work at the bicycle .To do this work I inspire in 1º World War, Portuguese Army .At 1917 thePortuguese Cavalry units, change horses by bicycles and they start making some fire training exercises. I don't have Historical evidence if they use that war method in combat but I now they make demonstration fire exercises like you can see at the photo.
Thank you Sérgio for the paint job.
Thanks.
