Viking figures needed

[custer760]

Hi David,
I had the kit from David Parkins and it was cast Figure sitting on saddle,Horse fore including neck and head and horse hind. Altogether 3 peices and then, 4 lower horse legs,one horse tail,2 lower arms,2 boots,a skull peice as decoration for the horse,a shield and sword.
I think that was about it.
Its a pity that it wasnt better thought out in the sculpting/casting stages as the whole thing was rather a pain,although it is beautiful sculpting by Peter Morten as are his other 2 Highland King and Viking mercenary both of which I still have in my closet.

David,
I have painted the mounted Viking by David Parkins and have to say "Its the worse mounted kit I have ever done. I had to drill each leg and peg it to the horse and after finishing the horse had a peculiar pose. I ended up mounting the finished figure on a sloped base to offset the unusual pose. If you need a pic of my painted version let me know and I'll take him out this weekend and shoot a few pictures.
