friends,
attached some pictures of my latest project. It’s an imperial guard Chasseur trumpeter blowing his trumpet riding a trotting horse.
As usual it’s a Metal Modeles conversion with an horse took from Eisembach range and also with a lot of A&B putty.
The horse is fixed on the base for a single point but the leg has a steel rod inside to guarantee the resistance

I hope you could enjoy it





soon some painting WIP

Friends, many thanks for the compliments… I’ll became shame… I’ll have an hard task to paint it in a good quality…

I think is interesting see the works I did for the complete bridles and reins.
I tried to reproduce it on each function part per part, from the harness to the final bridle. I used re-enactment pictures and old Historex catalogue as référence plus some observation on the field on real horse to understand how the bridle works.
I think the pictures explain better than many wrong English words








cordially

Beautiful work!

Exellent work Ivo, I'm looking forward to seeing more photo's as you progress.

This is gorgeous, i cant wait to see it finished!

Ivo - Marvelous conversion and the bridle and reins are superb! I know how darned difficult those are to do, as I'm trying to do several cavalry figures now. Excellent stuff!

All the best,
Dan
