The 8 K&C german horse soldiers are one of my favorite sets and I've always wanted to add to them when it struck me that I'm half way there with the sets DD-71 & 72, both having the german mounts. The first one was no work as the horse in DD-72 is standing alone and the Del Prado Cavalry figure are both good to go. Couldn't waste the airborne figure so I added to his injuries and put his arm in a sling. Cut it, turned it, and made the sling from 2 part epoxy putty stretched and rolled thin as paper. Am having a problem finding a good color to match the para's uniform, any help would be appreciated.
The second was my first attempt at sculpting, I removed the rider from DD-71 and used the top half of a figure from set WS-39 attack set. everything from below the belt to the top of his boots is sculpted from 2 part epoxy and then I attached a set of boots with scratchbuilt stirrups.
All in all it went pretty smooth though it was slow thinking thru the process for the first time, but I won't hesitate to try sculpting again and with what I know now the time will be much shorter.
