Thanks Guy, it's a Franco-Prussian War vignette that depicts a French and a Prussian cuirassier going at it during the battle of Rezonville (Mars-la-Tour/Vionville...what have you).
It's almost finished, the Prussian cuirassier remains to be painted. I'll post a pic of what they looked like after sculpting.
Thanks again

Hello Jason,
I have a few questions. I can see that the heads are from another source, what source and are the upper torso's yours that you sculpted. Is the armature brass rod and how did you conect legs and arms? are the horses converted too? I notice the saddle bags on the right horse, are they yours? as you can see....I don't know much about the process, but would love to learn.
Thanks
Guy

Guy,
The figure torso's and boots are resin cast. I filed down the detail on old Airfix Multipose pieces and made a mold.
The armature are brass rods, I also use small paperclips. I drill into the resin torso about 3/8in.and glue the rod w/ Zap-a-Gap and 5minute epoxy.
The horses are from Historex, I used a plastic shim (1/16in.) to give it some bulk. Historex horses are very detailed but are on the skinny side. I filled the gap w/ Magic Sculp and brushed smooth w/ water. After it dried I then lightly sanded.
The horse "furniture" is Magic Sculp w/ lead foil for straps and Duro for buckles.
Thanks for the interest Guy. Jason

Hello Jason,
I have a couple of questions for you:
I see the brass used on the front blanket of the saddle......does this get covered with sculpty or the medium you are using.
The buckles you have on the straps......did you make them or convert them?
You are doing great work and I hope to see photos of your next step.
Thanks,
Guy

I suspect he will just prime right over the metal. The buckles he made from Duro which is pretty easy to do.Originally posted by GuyHerrick@Nov 4 2003, 08:44 AM

Sorry for not replying sooner, it's busy at home. First off, thanks for the kind words. It's that kind of encourgement that I need to press on.
As for the buckles I used Duro, just a "blob" of it, squared it of w/ an exacto knife, then wrapped a tiny string around the blob. I probably won't do that again, it's too tedious, especially in that scale. It is very difficult to keep all buckles uniform. To me, they look o.k., but the searching eye will note the variations.
The tent poles are steel rod and will (is) primed over. I'll post pic's later of the painted horse....IN ACRYLICS TA BOOT!!!

Thanks Jason,
You make it sound so easy......easy enough that it is giving me the needed courage to try some stuff. Somewhere in the postings I have a 54mm horse and I was thinking about doing a hide sadle cover, to cover the McClellan saddle (didn't have them then and do gordy's tip of an impression for the hair. I wanted to add a blanket roll on the rear of the saddle too. I hope to try this soon and will post results.
Keep up the great work Jason ......Love it
