Now, there is one little tiny detail on the horse that makes it for me - the butt cap of the pistol is facing the right way - away from the rider. They are easier to draw that way.
The two cavalry men are very nice, officer in breastplate and trooper with slung musket. Looking forwards to these now.
As a horseman, I still think the horses neck and head dont look quite right in terms of proportion to the horses body. Not as bad as the Nap Prussian cavalry, but still not quite right.
Remember a horse needs to comfortably be able lean down to graze without the need to bend its knees!
Otherwise a nice sculpt.
That little bit of (i hope) constructive criticism aside, the pose idea itself is fantastic and quite unique, neighing or perhaps even yawning. I quite like that idea, creating the horses acting like they might in real life. Wonder if anyone could make a set with maybe a horse or two turning its head/neck to the side, maybe in a set of cavalry stood still awaiting orders?? That would be quite realistic & look great. Afterall they dont just stand motionless facing front.
Cavalrymen look good.
And yes Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays & a Happy (and hopefully less eventful!!) New Year to all.
may i add my compliments to the Strelets team on these superb sculpts of WSS cavalry figures, the pipe smoker looks great
any idea of when these will be available in UK??
best wishes to all out there for a Great Xmas and a very Happy New Year
