    Hi John, Looking incredible each time you do a bit more. This is going to be stunning when you have finished - a classic for the rest of us to aspire too.
    Your conversion/scratch build is fantastic but for me begs the question why are there so few British/allied mounted figures ready available from this period as I'm sure there is a market for them - the French seem pretty well covered by Metal Modeles etc.
    Cheers

    I know what you mean with the lack of British and Allied figures as appose to the French of this period. I agree with your comment on being a market out there for them.(y)

    I have only one major complaint regarding this superb figure. It should be available commercially in 120mm!!!

    one of the great things in the hobby looking at all the different painting styles,which can of course make the same figure look so different:)
