Russian Woewoda, 14th Century - AuthorSculpt Review

[Guy]

Russian Woewoda, 14th Century
Item # AS006-54Z
54mm resin
Sculpted by Sergey Zlobov
18 resin parts

I recieved my new figure last week from AuthorSculpt and was pleased to see another mounted figure by the super talented hands of Sergey Zlobov.

Arriving in their traditional book style box all the parts were sealed in individual zip-lock baggies with layers of foam between the parts protecting them during shipping.

Above we see the gray cast resin parts out of the box and bags for examination. The kit is comprised of 18 gray resin parts.

The Figure

Above we see the four sides of the mounted figure. Clean crisp detail with the only clean-up needed is to remove from casting block.

Above is a close-up of the detail that Sergey has sculpted into the figure.

Above is the front and back of the jacket or pelise worn over the shoulder of the figure.

Above is the separately cast hat of the rider.

Weapons / Accessories

Above you see the various weapons that attach to the figure. The axe, bow case and quiver are amazingly detailed. Also at the bottom is the staff / standard.

The Horse

Above you see the one piece casted horse and the various views showing the immense detail Sergey has sculpted into the horse as well as the furniture.

[Guy]

Above you see close-ups of each side of the horse's head and the left rear of the horse's flank. The detail when enlarged is beautiful and well sculpted in fine detail.

Above you see two views of the separate cast tail of the horse.

Above are three views of the separate cast saddle with locator lugs for correct positioning on the back of the horse.

The saddle blanket is a Lynx pelt and the above photos show the head which fastens right in front of the saddle.

Above are the separate cast stirrups and below are the separate cast right and left reins.

Above is the resin base still attached to the casting block. The horse has locater lugs on the bottom of each hoof that fit right into the holes on the base.

Above is an options guide as well as fitment guide for the various parts that make up the kit.

Conclusion:
This is one of the finest detailed and cast kits I have ever seen. As the horse is one piece there is minimal preparation needed to start right out painting the horse. All parts and weapons were cleanly cast with only the mold block to remove. All dry-fitting done was excellent.
Highly Recommended - Plus

Plus:
This is the first kit I have ever given a "Plus" rating for. The aspect of the one piece horse is fantastic for those new figure painters who have never done a mounted kit. Also for those experienced painters who may not have done a mounted kit before due to all the assembly involved in assembling the horse before painting. This kit should remove the "Intimidation Factor" of doing a mounted kit.

Guy, a tip of the virtual hat for this review my friend, extensive and well done. The figure is a beauty and I have to say, that is some kinda seminar they're putting on with this casting effort. That horse in one piece is CRAZY good, deserving of the "Plus" rating I think!
