Hi everyone
The postman has been busy delivery much to review one is this piece ...or should I say pieces!!
Following on from the announcement by Hugo Pereira here: https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/roman-auxilia-catafratari-in-germanic-wars-figure.264191/
Also my previous look at a Catafratari here: https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/rp-models-bustorama-parthian-camel-warrior.158016/
We continue with the heavy armoured mounted ancient warrior , as always in a action pose in combat with a enemy but this time we are on a horse rather than camel
This will be a big review so I will just add some books and pics to look at for the subject
Details of the release:

General comments
Overall casting is very good I will highlight areas that need dealing with as we go through
As I said a lot of parts which you can see here :
Lets look at the horse and the way its put together
This is a powerful animal and this is reflected in the sculpt with the pose being a rearing one , the pieces fit together easily by means of accurate posts and cutouts
There are casting lines and a small amount of excess to remove
2 pieces to the actual horse before the head and armored trappings are added
Very good muscle definition with a the horse shoes being detailed on the front legs
There is a cutout to locate the swirling tail , on this it is covered with a highly decorated surround









Continued in next post

General comments
- A lot of resin in a big box measuring 18cm wide x 12cm high x 15.5cm depth
- Resin split between 7 clear bags with the base being at the bottom of the box
- All parts were totally surrounded by bubble wrap
- this is a big kit so careful build planning is needed
- Pieces dry fit well together and are sensibly thought out
- No build instructions are included
