WIP WW1 Charley’s War inspired British cavalry

[DioramaArt]

New year, new 1/35 projects.

Some will know I’m a big Charley’s War fan (battle comics 1980’s).
Using reference image’s of a WW1 British cavalry & horses in gas masks
8 million horses and pony’s never made it home from WW1.

I like to do smaller / filler novelty projects before larger diorama’s. They help decompress from larger work just completed, similar focus but much shorter timeframe for building and painting.

Blimey do you ever sleep?
Great start and a subject I've always fancied having a bash at, although I'm a bit too old to have seen Charley's War.
Looking forward to this

Charley’s War stories are great, they basically taught me at 9yrs old to read and comprehension. I had no interest in reading up to that point.

I had to share this with everyone, as made my day.

I occasionally post to Twitter, and had this response back from Pat Mills, the original author of Charley’s War (battle comics) Pat is probably the best British comic book writer of all time.

Agree there ....I don't even have legs to paint and Marcus is still quicker !

Perhaps the wounded horse one have the rider with his left hand to his eyes as though in sorrow ?

Following these with interest

Happy benchtime
