The Arab Equestrian - AuthorSculpt Review

[Guy]

AS004-75L
"The Arab Equestrian, 18th Century"
75mm Resin
28 resin parts
Sculpted by Sergey Lupanov

This is the first of three reviews I will be doing of AuthorSculpt's series of historical figures with a camel as the figure's mount. All three were sculpted by Sergey Lupanov and are amazing in their detail.

The figure arrived in a sturdy plastic storage box with a thick cardboard slip cover around the container. A much improved system for overseas shipping. The photo at the right shows the kit parts placed back into the container. The parts did come in individual zip-lock baggs that I put aside during the review.

Above are the parts out of the box and bags and displayed by AuthorSculpt.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit produced by AuthorSculpt with all parts that were dry-fitted, fitting well. Well packaged with no breakage during shipping. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely kit!!! Unique and fascinating. I love the way Sergey somehow got the sense of the camel's rolling gait into the stance. How'd he do that!!!????

All the best,
Dan

Absolutely beautiful kit and nice review Guy. With all those camels you have now I think you will defiantly qualify as a herdsman.
Cheers
