Excellent!! I think £120 is a bargain!

Darren

this is a superb kit and one of the best that conveys reasons to not go to war. It is beautiful.

 

[Mark Dollery]

Well, here's a small update guys, looks good even in primer
small steps....

I just received my copy of this kit. Uh, standard for the industry? Incredible detail, beautifully clean casting. Mark's photo shows it all. Eventually I will buy something else in the upper price scale and the wife will get over her current snit. "Oh good, more figures! I was afraid you would run out". Does anyone know of any horse casualties in 54mm that would work for this?

 

[Mark Dollery]

thanks roger, a bit more prepping & the paint can begin...
Steve, a great kit & any advice I can give, just let me know. Note, the bracing rods on the gun just visible through the wheels..

Looking forward to seeing the end result. Didn't Verlinden do horse casualties?

Maybe you could do horse casualties from historex halves.

I just got mine today. I was only able to give it a quick look but its very impressive. And I have to add that it was packaged well. I'm fortunate that my wife supports my addiction of resin and white metal. She has one for shoes so we're even

Adrian, you're right. I thought of that when I ordered this and I got a set from Ebay. There are two and one has a harness that would go with this. I'm going to start mine hopefully sometime next week and I hope to have it ready for AMPS this April.

Put some progress photo's up. And good luck...I am sure there will be a few of these at Euro next year.

I exaggerate the wife's grumping. She is actually very supportive. That doesn't mean she is incapable of a little exasperation. Colin, I am thinking plastic horses are the only way to go.

 

[Adrian Cowdry]

My wife is indulgent of me too! I suspect that makes a lot of Planet Figurers a little envious. My Christmas Pressies come from El Greco, Pegaso, Andrea and more!

In all seriousness I am so happy that my wife is so indulgent.

I remeber Andrea´s has a 54 mm (1/32 scale) dead horse from the 7th Cavalry kit
with the figure of the soldier shooting behind it.
Best rgds,

I think some empty shells will do alot on this great vignette. And then I mean alot of empty shells.
But it is really looking good.
Are you always painting the figures completely assembled.

My kit came with 48 expended casings and 8 live rounds.

 

[Steve]

Thanks Jose. I have that kit. Good idea.

That should be enough.
