Here are the three back horses and figs. I have fixed their poses. Now, I will have to reduce their overall sizes to fit in with each other and also to fit into the proposed shadow box space. One obvious way is to shorten the horses' lengths.

Hi Mike and John, Thx for your very nice comments. That NSW ptg is like a bloody sword of Damocles, isn't it?... but I digress. hahahahha. The details that were painted in are just amazing. Since my Omdurman piece, I wanted to do another cavalry charge but with more details. Looks like I'm...

Added stirrups. I think this looks pretty good. So I will let it dry for now and concentrate on the other horsemen.

Adding the heads to the hussar torsos. Airfix and Wolf Miniatures head {metal}. The torsos are my own home made resin castings. Horses are the usual mix of historex and 1/35 horses. Ive lowered the back of the white horse drastically and created a belly for it.

Its not just abount Col Berthe. Now starting on the next three figs. Again all frankenstein pieces as I proceed to reduce their sizes and proportions relative to the main fig.

I undercoated the horse with a brown acrylic paint.

Made the first hanging ornament. Bloody fiddly. Then completed the rest. I've started to paint the horse.

Here are the final pix for this piece. Thx for looking.

Hi All, Here are some final pics to close off this rather long running thread. Thanks for looking.

I rearranged my "tudor period" shelf with many figures.

Final ptg on this fig. All details touched up. Now to concentrate on the horse.

Final sculpting on this figure. I added a Historex legion of Honour medal.

Creating a patchy grass groundwork. Ive added the horse marine to the base. Going to do a minor repair on the cap at the back.

Ive done up a floral garden for the base. The gravel represents the path.

Completed the groundwork for this piece.

Hi John, You are obviously having fun here? hahaha. I actually spent the day adding foliage and flora to this piece, She's royalty so probably riding around and trampling up some poor peasant's floral garden. Rgds Victor

Hi Paddy, Thx. Just a lot of random figures being made here. Ive finished the simple groundwork for the crusader knight.

Finished painting this piece incl repainted horse. Will add some more foliage to the base.

More ptg.

Painting the figure in oils. I dont really bother with the hidden side. I had fun with the teeny highlights and the braiding. Some minor resculpts to be done on the gloves, right hand lacing, chin strap and highlight the pantaloons.
