Finally added the reins. What a pain..... Then final ptg.

Now adding the basic details. The straps, headstalls and nose band are covered with white studs. Ive added some historex items and the tail has been added. I propose to add the mameluke like decorations then paint fully, then add the more complex head decorations. You need the patience of a...

And a splash of acrylic undercoat colour!!!! I'm pretty chuffed with this.

I pinned some thick wires to the blind sides and fixed the pieces to handles for ptg.

Hi Louis, Thx for yr kind comment. I get lucky now and then....hahaha. I managed to overcome my funk period over this project as the details were rather overwhelming when you study the ptg. I redid the left arm and bulked out the shabraque pommel to get the juxtapositioning right. Added...

I attached the queen to the horse. Then decided that those horse decorations on the rump were not correctly modelled. These tassels were attached to the crupper by a D ring. Hence the attachment was redone.

Fully levelled the base with putty. I use a raised base because it makes the model more impressive. The use of cork is to keep the model lightweight.

Sculpted the fingers.

Selected a wooden base and built up some groundwork with cork and putty.

This ptg is very detailed and the focus is on Col Berthe. This is where I try to bring this figure up a notch. The shabraque was further covered with putty and reshaped. The horse neck has prominent muscles on both sides of the throat. Added more mane. The head and shako was built up in...

Added another layer of fringe to the bottom of the skirt. Started adding some tasselled hair to the head.

I put the crusader on a base and added groundwork.

More butchering. I reshaped the shabraque. Added an ear to the head and detailed the back of the shako. Changed the pose of the raised arm.

Ive sprayed a matt undercoat to visualise the flaws for correction.

I glued the horse to the base. Easier to hold to paint the horse.

Sculpted the ears and the three top layers of fringe.

Hi Louis, Thx for yr comment. I hope so as well.. I sculpted the remaining drapery.

Hi John, Thx for the ref ptg. Its very convenient. Im still checking out the proportions.2nd pix shows the proposed viewing angle. I decapitated the horse head, resized it and put it back. You need balls of polystyrene to do this....hahahaha.

Finished ptg the figure. I gave the sarroul a satin look. Now to start on the horse.

Hi All, I was at this event yesterday where local modellers bring anything to show and share with others. It was organised by a local model shop. There was a strong scifi fantasy output and I took only some photos to share with all. The white spy figure is 3D printed and the producer was...
