Burgundian Hornblowers (Perry)
« on: July 21, 2016, 07:59:06 PM »
Small vignette for my Burgundians - Perry figures - one a metal casting the other has had some minor surgery and greenstuff added to get the appropriate pose. They may be getting an outing on a tabletop this weekend?
Thanks for looking,
Simon.

Nice!!!

I see you've put a plastic light cavalry body on one of the metal horses. I did a similar thing recently. Did you do anything about absence of the rear part of the saddle? As in, the metal sculpts have them as part of the rider, whilst the plastics have them as part of the horse, so the plastic rider / metal horse combo results in it being missing. I'd be interested to see if you made one yourself, and if so how. Or if you just left it off?

Thanks for the comments!
Charlie - I added some greenstuff for the rear saddle - based on saddle styles used at the time with two supporting 'wings' - there's just enough of a gap to need to add something.
This angle may show it enough?
Cheers, Simon.

Is the trumpet banner painted or some sort of trickery?

many thanks - just to come clean on the trumpet cloth - its just a reduced image of the arms of Burgundy i printed out and trimmed to shape.
I've not sold my soul, in return for the ability to paint that small (...yet!).  ;)
Cheers, Simon.
