Medieval lady riding sidesaddle?
« on: 19 June 2012, 05:18:59 PM »
I recently saw a 25mm/28mm figure of a medieval lady riding sidesaddle.  She is wearing a dress and a tall cone hat.  Does anyone recognize that figure from this limited description?  If so, please let me know who the manufacturer is.  Thank you.
Richard

Froggy, I took a look at the Bretonnian mounted damsel.  She a bit more fantasy than the one I saw.  Mick, I may have to go with the Perry as you suggest, but I think the one I was looking for represented an earlier period and that earlier period is what I was hoping for.  I appreciate the advice guys.  Thank you both.  Richard

My first thought was Thunderbolt Mountain, but I see that the ladies aren't sidesaddle.  Very pretty, though!

First thing that came to my mind was the maid from <a href="http://www.shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/artikelinfo/2254-1-show-berittene_maid.html" target="_blank">gamezone miniatures[/url].
Hope that helps.

No problem! Glad to be of help. I had that set once and it's the first thing that popped in my mind. You might want to email the people at oldglory25s.com and see if you can get just that figure, its one of the better sculpts.

Greg, I'll probably get the whole thing.  Never know when I'll need the makings for a good execution.  Thanks again. Richard
