This is a stunning piece Ivo I can only echo the comments of others-Did you take this to WE-I see you had some awards....congratulations,

Keith

hi Keith,

thanks for the congratulations
yes, the figure was in WE last week end.
I took there many different awards ... bronze for painting, silver for open plus a special trophy ( Aigle Imperiales) consisting in an original painting of Patrice Courcelle and finally I get the title of World Master...

It's enough I think

What an interesting pose for the horse! Nice floating trot! You say it's a conversion from the Eisembach horse, is that horse troting or in a different position?

The horseman in me would rather see it supported on the hind leg, but I bet that would be quite difficult from a sculpting/molding standpoint since the majority of the sculpture's weight is going to be on the shoulders.

I also love the decoration on the saddle blanket, very nicely done.

Great job! I really like this piece!

Thanks for appreciation,
Eisenbach http://www.eisenbachfigurines.fr/ produce a wide range of horses in 54 mm. the great advantage is that he sell his horses divided in quarters. That give you the posibility to assembly practically all the poses

[ivopreda]

detailing the parts, pin has been inserted to give structure and avoid crash for smaller details

 

[Edorta]

About Eisenbach horses, Ivo. As I remember, they are a little bit larger than 54mm, aren´t they?
