I don't blame him.
Excellent sculpt though.

Wow! What a weight for this horse! I like the sculpt! That cloths won't be an easy casting job from resin. White metal is perfect.

stunning

Superb figure!!

It's a time to song about glory of korea...

He was king(empire) of old korea nation before unified one nation...
He was best known king in the korea. He expanded his empires teritory from korea to current manchuria, some of rusia and china at AC5~600...
His power was effected to the birth of japan...

What is the fur/skin covering on the horse supposed to be,it appears spotted therefore not a tiger and a truly massive size or am I missing something ?

What I hear today ( on the phone) is, that this is one of the best researched figures from that period. All the equipement on the horse is there and fabulous done.
There is not much information left, but what is found etc, is used as it should be.
So Ebroin did some outstanding job.
