added saddlecloths and flaps to the horses. Added limbs to the figs.

Hi John, thanks for the pix and some artillery info. Ive done more work on the figs and the horses. Sausages were added to the horses for collars. Starting to shape the figures with details and reshaping the pith helmets. Rgds Victor

What's this?? You may well ask. I had a lot of pickelhaube and peak caps leftover from past projects (contemptibles, gravelotte) and still more pkts of Scalelink. So I selected these heads to start yet another forlorn project.

Lately, I’ve been indulging in my understanding of WWI by reviewing Indy Niedell’s “The Great War series. Great series and it has also exposed me to look into more details of this conflict. I’m also going thru my library in somewhat chronological order. Started off by reading Robin Neillands...

Hi Louis, Good guess but no seegar. I did contemplate doing the Guns at Maiwand ptg by Caton Woodville but as I had just recently done his Omdurman, I selected another ptg. But thank you for suggesting this ptg. In looking at it, I can see clear details on horse traces, collars and saddlery...

And the base has been trimmed by a good friend. I need to move on from this stage.

Howdy Gents, Seems to be a wish fulfilment exercise going on here. And I was building up a Mongol horde….hahaha. Oh well, I must defer to the overall decision here. Assuming that this is an artillery scene from around the time of the Boer war, anyone has any clear pics of the rigging and...

Finished roughing out the mtd figs. I placed them on temporary bases to show the difference in sizes. The second pix shows the intended visual perspective.

A bit more converting and redoing of poses. Ive added two more figs. Then I placed the figs on temp bases and tested the posing. First pix shows the relative sizes. Second pix shows the intended visual perspective.

Hi Brad, I do mark up my books and write notes in the margins. I usually read several books around the same topic and usually find anomalies in the texts here and there.

Here are six horses so far. They appear to be sized from downwards from left to right.

Ive resized the horses and added the figs.

Hi Steve. I do try but keep getting waylaid by forlorn figures. I tk the medical term is short attn span or attention deficit syndrome … What were y saying?? Hahahaha Rgds Victor

https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/threads/blaster-collection.53774/ I had tried to do this scene abt three decades ago. I shared the concept and work then. Then abandoned it. Rgds Victor

This scene requires 3 horses of different sizes. Note that I mix 1/32 and 1/35 parts to get my poses. Will probably trim their sizes further.

Ive been fooling around with more ugly conversions of my horses just to get my required poses. So far, Ive made about 6 horses and they do differ in sizes.

Well, I'm inviting hate mail from Napoleonophiles. hahaha. I am doing extended spring cleaning and really turning out the gray collection and pests as well. Came across this olde base which I had made for my Napoleon Sacre but it was too ambitious then. I thought that maybe if I recrafted the...

I’ve reposed and added back legs to the horses. Added a mtd fig. Red leg was ex Historex red lancer reject.

I realised that I have a lot of horse parts and rejects. And then there were these leftover pith helmeted heads from Omdurman. So I decided to start another project with these. Crazy right? So here's the start already. Hi John, this one is right up your alley.. hahaha. Rgds Victor

Looks like I cant use a lot of my kepi heads. So I am now using bare heads and making torsos with these. Shaping the horses further.
