The Scots Guards Mounted Infantry 1903

Hi Chaps
A very nice David Grieve sculpt crying out for a new jacket and a bugle.
The horse and tack let the piece down somewhat but it is my first full nag sculpt
See what you think.

Original piece (not my work)

Looks very good. The horse is fine, but is somewhat on the large side.

Hi Keith

That's a real nice conversion on the original piece ...like the lacework ....patient man!

The horse may be a little big but I think it accentuates the youth of the figure

Thank for sharing

Hi Malc.
My thoughts too. I had never seen a Guardsman on a horseback.
Then another, Grenadier, came along
All the very best

Hello Mate
The Milliput and paint was quite a task with my patients stretched to bursting.
As for the horse, my calculation was for a 65mm scale 15 hands horse not allowing for additional muscle etc. Then again, as you say these boys were very young. That's what I will go with .


Many thanks Mate
Keith
