amazing work.

Marc

I think it has been done for the sake of contrast Steve as the figure is quite "Plain"

Keith

marvellous

The horse might have been painted this way to suggest the less than regular nature of the Landwehr.

It 's just one of the possible variants of the mantle of the horses that used the Prussian cavalry regiments ... the equine breed, known as Knabstrup.

I also associate this horse with the american indian ones, perhaps is correct, but looks weird to me..That aside, Maestro Cartacci's work is always marvelous

Can one hope that this one will go commerical??

Beautiful sculpting and painting
Cheers Chris

Wow !! Nice!!

A tandem that is always a feast for the eye!

Jhan

Very nice

Wow very nice thanks for posting

Nice work on the lancer and the horse though I agree with the others (Steve read my mind word for word). I usually don't associate piebalds with Napoleonic cavalry... Not saying it's wrong, it just "feels" off.
That doesn't mean I don't think it's all very well sculpted and well painted... just an observation

Colin

Thanks for your comments

@ Clrsgt: It is not a commercial figure.... unfortunately!

Fair enough - but if you check about this breed you will learn that it was quite rare and costly. So this regular soldier is going to battle in a Porsche.
Lovely paintwork anyway and I understand that Mr. Cartacci might prefer more demanding paintjobs like this instead of having to do another plain colored horse.
Cheers, Martin

Awesome work.
best regards

Wonderful work

Another thanks for all!
