The Stand Off

[Ragnar]

Hi everyone just finished this diorama last night the Highlanders were sculpted by Carl Reid for
Gordon Mitchell and the Cuirassier was from Graham at CGS Miniatures I completed the Cuirassier first and started on the troopers, they were meant to be stand alone but thought by bringing them
Together it would give them a focal point. I noticed after painting the horse Cuirassiers always seem to be depicted on Bays and it was to late to start again hope you like it.

Great stuff, Steve,.....don't worry about the horse ; by 1815 the cavalry arm were grateful for any nags they could nab. There's a good French print I saw many years ago that showed a cuirassier, fully laden with kit , forage bags, etc., on a smallish horse, as his feet were brushing the grass ! The horse didn't look happy.

Amazing work.. the finished scene is fantastic...

Excellent, the sense of action is great. I love the touch of the captured Colours that the Currasier already carries, having come for one more..

 

[Ragnar]

Thanks Henk I was playing with the idea of removing the colour from the Cuirassier but when I put the two pieces together it looked more dramatic.
regards
Steve.
