So this really happened. There are a series of photos from St. Mere-Eglise in Normandy where 82nd airborne paras commandeered German horses for patrols. I will definitely and be looking forward to painting it. It was very challenging (I like a challenge) as lot of dynamics between horse, rider and detail going on.From an engineering standpoint it was complex as well.
Thanks guys for the nice kudos, greatly appreciated

 

[John Rosengrant]

these young men "Cowboys" really look at home on these horses in the photos-surely they hailed from horse country growing up.

Thanks Zongwen for the opportunity and enabling it to happen

Here's one in 1/16th I did for Raptor Miniatures a little while ago-DAK Squad leader -raw castings

So much detail and he looks so lifelike even without paint.
