This is simply beautiful. Detaille in 3D.

For us mere mortals this is truly inspiring. Many thanks.

Enjoy Long Island

An absolute cracker, Ivo, and all the very best for Long Island. Masterful work. Looking forward to more pictures soon.

Cheers, Alan

Amazing!!!!!
Great sculpting and paintwork.
I LOVE the base! Leaving the chunk of bark around the back edge makes the base look very raw... love it!

Good luck in Long Island

Colin

Agree with all the comments… just outstanding.

Simply superb. How are the Eisenbach horses? I see that they make some 'heavy' horses as well.

Excellent work as always Ivo. Bravo amico.

Simply stunning work ivo ,from a master of his art

I don't use the heavy cavalry horse. For my taste and opinion aren't so good as the light cavalry.
Light horses match well with metal Modeles or historex parts.

Aren't so beautiful as the metal Modeles but enough good to be used for sophisticated and rich subjects

I've not used an Eisenbach horse yet but I like the idea of being able to build the pose by buying different quarters and necks to get the look you want. The musculature seems pretty good and you're free to build the saddle and tack as you need. For that reason, I think I like Eisenbach as I find Metal Modeles posing to be very stiff.

Just my opinion

Colin

Hi Colin
Metal Modeles and Eisenbach start with different philosophy. MM has to produce a complete figure easy to be assembled and enough strength to don't need pins.
Eisembach did pieces for people that want to transform and search the limits of their capacity. Till today I used dozen of Eisenbach horses and the results were always good

I hope to soon have the chance to work with an Eisenbach horse... so far anytime I've seen them being used the final result is quite good.
I only have to look at your work to see how good their horses can be.

Regards

Colin

Thanks Ivo re the Eisenbach line of horses.

as promised the latest pictures of Friedland, then will not bother you again....
