Good morning fellow Planeteers,
I would like to draw your attention to a new Hungarian Company named ReGe Models
ReGe Models focuses mainly on the rich and colourful Hungarian history with subjects from various Eras of that country.
Subjects vary as they have in their range not only Hungarian warriors but also some very good Ottomans (jannisaries etc) but always Hungarian history related.So far their infantry figures are more traditionally made (manually sculpted and then cast in resin) while most of them bear the unmistakeable signs of having been sculpted by none other than Igor "the Master",a mighty talented sculptor and member of PF (widely known also by his colaboration with TFB).
On this post I will present two of their equestrian figures which are 3D designed and printed in fine grey resin.
Both subjects represent Hungarian archers roughly from the time of Arpad the Great (9th-10th cent.aD) and both figures are engaged in what is commonly known as the "Parthian shot" whereby an archer is turning his torso 180 degrees on his saddle shooting arrows backwards as he gallops away.
One of the archers is at full draw (and very realistically his mount has one hoof on the ground.Horse archers could synchronize their release to the exact moment when all four legs of the horse were in the air so this first archer is going to release his arrow in a second....The sculptor has captured the tension of the moment very successfully).
The second archer has released his arrow (and his mount has landed) while his bow follows a downward curve in his left hand (all signs show that the sculptor is more than familiar with archery practice).
Both figures are armed similarly as light horse archers wearing some form of leather "soft" armour,boots and all the offensive equipment expected of them (swords,shields.axe,bowcase,quiver etc).
As I said before the movement and posture of the archers and their mounts are very well thought and executed.
The dimensions of the figures (1/32) are very good as too are the relative proportions between man and horse.
The detail is crisp and clear (you can see the individual fingers of the archer who has just released his arrow) and the printing very good indeed.
The figures come cleared of their supports but minimal cleaning is required.The fit is excellent and while the riders come in one piece there are no "hard to reach" negative areas so painting should be easy
.The figures can be presented on their own or can be combined to each other ( and to some upcoming releases of ReGe as I am informed) in order to produce a vignette of a Magyar raiding party.
A plus to the whole experience is the owner of ReGe,Tamas.A very well intentioned and social person always ready to help or hold interesting discussions on his country's history,an absolute joy to deal with.
As I have said many times in the past,I am lousy at taking pics but I did my best (using my cell phone) in order to present you with a decent set of photos.If they fall short of the mark,the fault is on me.
