Title: 1st Skinner's Horse Bengal Lancers
Post by: Umra Khan on May 26, 2021, 11:47:47 AM
I'm really excited to have received these two beautiful  models in 28mm , which are unique and carved  by an Italian friend of mine .
they will be painted as 1st Skinner's Horse uniform of 1914, the models are in the same poses as per the color drawing.
I put them close to a Wargame Foundry Pathan for comparison.
when fully painted I'll post the photos.

Wow!!!  Fantastic bespoke figures!  I recognize that plate, it's on the cover of the Almark "Skinner's Horse" book by Christopher Rothero!  Can't wait to see your finished paint-jobs!  Well done -- I only wish I had a friend ready and willing to sculpt a couple of particular Indian Army figures for me!

Thanks Mad Guru
Unfortunately this friends of mine has gave up for carving more figures.
It was a project of some years ago which doesn't become  a good business for him..
