W.I.P. INDIAN DANCE

I've started a small project of an Indian Camp with scenes of Indian Life.
First, I've painted some figures from different sets which seemed to be good for an Indian Dance:
IMEX "Sioux" and "Eastern Friendly Indians"
REVELL "Indians"
ATLANTIC "Sioux Camp"

I will use, I think, the teepees from IMEX "Lewis and Clark".

 J'ai commencé un petit projet d'un camp indien avec des scènes de la vie indienne.
Tout d'abord, j'ai peint quelques figurines de différents sets qui semblaient convenir pour une danse indienne:

IMEX "Sioux" et "Eastern Friendly Indians"
REVELL "Indians"
ATLANTIC "Sioux Camp"
Je vais utiliser, je pense, les tipis de IMEX "Lewis et Clark".

.... but, like it's better to be cautious, some are in alert:

.... mais, comme il vaut mieux être prudent, certains sont en alerte:

 

AMBUSH !!!

I'd painted the SIOUX

I'd painted the 7th CAVALRY

What could happen after ????????

? 

By chance I found this old photography from an anonymous artist of the 19th century:

A very hard work (and a little bit of technology!) permitted us to show you those "modern" pictures:  

at first, the retouched one which was the base for making the other pictures :

and now all the computer graphics pictures that we can do with it:

Many thanks to all the men (and women!) 

who worked hard on this project!

and I hope that it will very important and useful for our knowledges about this fantastic period of our fantastic history:

REVIEW III Comparisons for SIOUX (IMEX/WAT.1815 + Alternative HORSES)

... no time to take pictures of the finished 7th Cavalry (Waterloo 1815) ....

so I choose to post some comparisons between :

1- IMEX and WATERLOO 1815 Sioux sets

2-Some comparisons of other horses which can be used for 

the SIOUX  or other "Native American" tribes.

1-IMEX against WATERLOO 1815:

I must precise before that the IMEX figures are mainly  foot-warriors: only 3 riders poses and 3 horses poses: Plastic Soldiers Review

For the WATERLOO 1 815 set  : Plastic Soldiers Review

(I didn't take a picture of the awful 3rd horse pose!!! I let you view it on PSR! )

The SIOUX  warriors : the IMEX ones look to be too thin with big horses
and the poses are just acceptable!

IMEX                      WATERLOO 1815                  IMEX

...and you can see that I didn't finished to paint the IMEX ..... 

who knows the reason....

2- some alternative horses for Indians Tribes  (SIOUX or other ones...)

Paul (Paul's Bods) suggested to me the  

ZVEZDA Carthaginian Numidian Cavalry

and I'd the idea to have a look at  the HAT Allied Alexander's Cavalry :

in this order from left to right : 

WATERLOO 1815  (1)     HAT (2 )                 ZVEZDA (2)

 and also the HAT Numidian Cavalry  :

Both of them could be very good Indians horses!! 

(some swap to do on the special reins)

I hope that could be useful for you....

But the US Cavalry is coming... I'm scarred for the Sioux!! 

who will win???

SIOUX !!!! (WATERLOO 1815)

This is the first new painted set of the year!!!

I don't want to do a long speech.... so I just show the pictures....

...and today was a "snowy" day !!!

W.I.P. SIOUX Waterloo 1815

... This year, I didn't post new work!!!

I have some projects and some sets in progress, but nothing finished!!

I just can show some pictures of my next painted set: 

"The Sioux" from Waterloo 1815    (Plastic Soldier Review)

I showed one figure with a converted horse, 

but I'd almost finished the rest of the set:

one figure of each pose: 9 riders and 9 horses.

No conversion on the Indians, some little "changes" on the horses

The whole set

The 9 Indians

4 Indians

+ 5 Indians

...and 9 horses!!!!!!!!!

a closer picture of 4 horses

This one is a Palomino Horse, finished.

.... Cette année, je n'ai pas encore posté de nouveaux travaux!
J'ai quelques projets et quelques sets en cours, mais rien de fini!
Je ne peux montrer que quelques photos de celle-ci:
"Les Sioux" de Waterloo 1815

J'ai déjà montré ici un Indien avec un cheval avec une petite conversion, mais j'ai presque fini le reste du set: 

une figurine de chaque pose: 9 cavaliers et 9 chevaux.
 

Pas de conversion sur les Indiens, certains petits "changements" sur les chevaux
