"For me mate..."

[lazyschnauzer]

1/16th scale model of an Australian Light Horseman and horse in Palestine ca. 1916 or 17.  I started with a Verlinden Napoleonic horse converted to suit. The saddle and other horse bits, bags, blankets, etc., are sculpted. The figure uses a head, hands, boots, stirrups and rifle from kits. The hands were modified to fit.  Just about everything else was sculpted using a mix of Magic Sculpt and Kneadatite.

This piece is intended as an homage to the Ron Marshall illustration attached.

Hope you like it!

All the best,
Dan

Thank you so much Peter!  I haven't posted much to GMIC for a bit, but not because I haven't been busy.  I have one French Colonial Spahi and six Lancers - British, German, French Dragoon, Russian 4th Don Cossack Rgt, Ottoman Turk and a Belgian - all mounted and in various stages of painting.  Incidentally, credit where credit is due - the painter for the Australian is Eduardo Lope and for the French Dragoon, Luis Ibanez.  Rafaelaga Gonzalez Aguayo is now painting the Spahi and Eduardo has started on the Russian.  I'll post each of them as they get finished.

All the best,

Dan
