Final thoughts: Congratulations to the sculptor for a superb kit which is well sculpted and well researched. Despise of one broken part, casting is excellent but not sure if there are metal rods inset in the rear legs for a rearing horse. An amazing kit. Highly recommended.
Cheers,

Felix

Great review, nice sculpt...

This is a fantastic looking figure and an even better casting. The attention to detail is stellar!

Received the replacement piece for the broken tassel cord and a gift from Altores Studio today. A big thankyou to Altores Studio and El Greco for their prompt attention to customer services. Very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Felix
