Hi at all
I like to present you my new work of a Bengal Officer
Probyn's Horse was originally raised in 1857 by Capt.F.Wale, and sometimes known as "Wales Horse", the regiment later became 1st Regiment Sikh Irregular Cavalry and later again, was known as Probyn's Horse after one of its early commandants, Lt.Col. D.M.Probyn, V.C., who joined the regiment in 1860.
The dress of this regiment was also one of the most spectacular and extravagant. In 1864 when the regiment was completely converted to a Lancer regiment, a new kurta was authorised for undress, to which gold lace had been very generously added. The cummerbund was of red Kashmir wool with gold laced and patterned ends. A dark blue pugri with gold striping was wound around a red and gold embroidered kullah. The regiment became the 11th Bengal Cavalry (Lancers.
I create the soldier over some spare parts, then I sculpt with putty all the Indian stile uniform details: the kurta, the dark blue pugri ad the red cummerbund. I also did arms, hands, gloves, belts,.and sword ,
The Historex horse was transformed in some parts: and over him I sculpt the all equipment: the bridle, saddle, the blanket, the crine and tail

I painted with acrylic and oil.

I’ll appreciate and welcome all yours comments

Thanx much. It's not so much the subject as the conversion/sculpting process. I am converting/sculpting some Historex and Airfix figs and I like seeing how others approach the work.

Hello Adriano,

I love this subject and your excellent conversion. It is very colourful and I also am a fan of Historex/Airfix conversions. Your simple groundwork really brings this figure to life.
