Here's my latest project based on a print from Benigni. It is Historex conversion of a drummer of the 19th Dragoons. It is about 90% Historex, with a Michael Roberts horse head, a little Magic Sculpt, and my plastic covered paper for all the straps. Painted in acrylics, and printers ink for the metals.
Comments are welcome. Thanks for looking.
Best Regards,

Rod

Beautiful, very well done.

Hi Rod,

It's superb. I do have a question - how is the drum suspended?

Rgds Victor

Brilliant conversion Rod.
I had forgot that tenor drums were used in favour of timpani.
I really like that interactive pose of horse and drummer.
Great work.
Keith

Love it Rod.

This is a conversion that makes me wish I had thought of it myself!

Paul

Wonderful, not only a good painted figure, but the horse as well.

Lovely conversion and an excellent paint job-I don't think I have ever seen a drummer portrayed like this in model form before. Well done for producing something unique.

Claude

Beautiful. And a very accurate recreation of the print artwork too - the horse pose is spot on (as is everything else). Inspiring.
Cheers

Fantastic. Love what you've done with that wonderful medium.

I do hope you submit this into the May figure of the month competition running in 'figure talk'.

Psul.

Like it! Nice to see such unusual subject matter. Why can't the big companies show the same originality?

Super nice Rod!

I really like it. I wish I have the guts to pull out that great box of Historex that is laying here behind me.
Alot off potential in it, but I don't dare.
