(WIP) Pilgrims moving towards the Holyland-STRELETS-

I used for this work a selection of figures from STRELETS and LINEAR-b :

"Roman Transport (1) " and Roman Transport (2)

I know that it could seems surprising to use those sets for a Medieval project, but they were the only ones I found for doing a small range of civilians pilgrims moving towards the Holyland ! 

(and I like to paint Strelets figures!)

It's not a finished work...

more to see ..... soon!

J'ai utilisé pour ce travail une sélection de figurines de chez STRELETS et LINEAR-b:
"Roman Transport (1)» et "Roman Transport (2)"

Je sais que cela peut sembler surprenant d'utiliser ces sets pour un projet médiéval, mais ils étaient les seuls que j'ai trouvé pour faire une petite gamme de pèlerins en marche vers la Terre Sainte! 

(et j'aime peindre des figurines Strelets!)

Ce n'est pas un travail fini ...
plus à voir ..... bientôt!

SOME LITTLE CONVERSIONS....

...... not really good ones, but it's a trail !

I need a small range of Strelets Order Knights and the problem is that the horses of the original sets don't have blankets!

So I decided to add some ones with paper-handkerchiefs and wood glue (diluted)

(honesty, in my opinion it's not good, so I'll try to do some more for improving the technique!)

here are the results:

I tried also to do something I've never done: change a head of a horse!!

The figure I used is this one (STRELETS "Army of Henry V ")

with the head of a generic Strelets horse:

 I'll use too some others horses from different STRELETS sets...

 More to see soon (I hope!)

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!)

Normans (STRELETS) another duel...

I post it to show my first duel on Benno's ("Knights on horse duel"): 

I've won but honesty, I'm not sure that my work was better than my duellist's one! 

(Sasha/Zed1 : Zed's Napoleonics)

Since this duel I did some new pictures in daylight:

( 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?
