APACHES....

Finished!!!!!!

quick shots of the set: "Apache Warriors" Waterloo 1815....

I don't comment the figures: I've done it in previous messages!(see here)

I'm sorry but the pictures are bad: I don't took them in daylight!!!

(maybe, I'll re-do better ones as soon as possible!)

( Quick)Review IV-APACHE (Waterloo 1815)

I received this week a box of "APACHE" - WATERLOO 1815. 

(see here), so I propose to you a quick review of the set.

I'll not loose my time (and yours!) with the "historically correct": 

I think that Plastic Soldier Review will do that better!

1-the content : 

two identical sprues  of 5 poses (both horses and Apache) + 2 "bonus"

if the number of 12 warriors is correct, 5 poses is not enough!!!

3-those Apache will served for reference:

(you can notice the beautiful "skirt" of the warriors! 

....maybe they are Scottish Apache!)

It's more visible here:

5-so I spend the last night in some work on the horses: cutting the necks of the horses, cutting the "skirts" for having something better and cutting all those b****y "tufts of grass" on the horses bases!!!!

..... I know that it's not perfect, but in a "normal" distance of view, 

it's acceptable!

....And for finishing, what do you think of this leg?

REVIEW I "APACHE WARRIORS" (WATERLOO 1815)

.... they are here!!!!!!!!!

I could be very happy and jump around the house... 

but I'm not convinced!

The first view of this set is quite disappointing.... so I'm disappointed!

look at this:

all I can say is that is not the whole set, even you can buy now here:

 WATERLOO 1815 ....

The horses poses are bad and the Apaches poses are 

without imagination and creativity...

after the quite good SIOUX set from the same manufacturer:

"Plastic Soldier Review" and ....  "Sam's Minis World!"

it's on direct line of  the "US 7th Cavalry" set from the same manufacturer !

I'm actually painting this set  and I didn't have the same pleasure 

than I had with the SIOUX !!!... 

The Cavalry will coming soon with a little review of it )

I'll buy and paint the Apache Warriors, that's sure, because I want to have them in my hands and have look at them with my eyes.... but....

It's a pity, because actually WATERLOO 1815 is the only manufacturer who release new Wild West figures! 

(I don't mention the BUM sets ... because I don't want to buy them!

too expensive for their quality.....)

Could we have a day a good manufacturer which will have an other interest than WWI/WWII, Nappolenics and Medieval ??????????????????????

I'm crying!!!!!!
