Montrose's horse seems a bit odd to me. Looks like a cross with a Bactrian Camel.

That might be the angle of the photo but the front legs look short :?

I like Charles' face - very good likeness to portraits of him, but he seems a bit too "active" to me. I've always imagined him sitting serenely whilst everyone else is rushing around. Great figure though and very tempting.

Montrose is slightly disappointing. Not the sculpting of himnself, which looks very good indeed, but he is a little "generic". Really, he could be anyof a colonel of a horse regiment. His horse isn't the best I've seen nut theta may just be the angle of the photo.

I'd buy Charlie, but maybe not Monty  :)

Montrose's horse is dreadful, and Charles looks as though he ate all the pies.

 lol True! It's just the mental image I have of him. He just never seems as dynamic as Rupert, Cromwell or T Fairfax etc.  ;)

I don't see him as an action man either, he's more Spock than Kirk, but he did have immense moral courage, the kind that meant he could even face death with a calm demeanour.

I am not extremely into ECW, but both figures are splendid
as to Montrose's horse - I guess it's the angle of the picture and the lens distortion
