The riders legs are leaning a bit to the short side.., the one with the lance, his legs look way too short.

El Cid Andalusian Heavy Cavalry
Not a bad set but not one of the best. For a start the horses are too thin and the riders legs are spread too wide, meaning they don´t sit properly in the saddle. A couple of the horse poses have a lot of extra plastic between the back legs meaning a bit of knifework.

They don't look too bad at all Paul...
ReplyDeletePainting can do justice to these guys too - writings on the shield would add that extra bit. Do these faults mean you're going to convert some?
ReplyDeleteThank Andrew
DeleteI´ve converted one already but there are some sets where you can convert and convert, think you´ve run out of ideas and a while later you see another possibility and some sets, this being one of them where there doesn´t seem to be a lot of possibilities. I might do some swopping of parts between this and the Spanish cav or the Almoravid sets.

Sculptural gripes aside, you have certainly done a splendid job on them Paul.
ReplyDeleteWell done Paul!!!!! love this paint tooooooooo much!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Nice touch with the white muzzle.
ReplyDeleteI think they look pretty good too. Nicely painted, great job.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not the best set, but you did a great job on them! I like the colours!
ReplyDeletePS: thanks for the tips on these figures. Now I know where I have to look when I start painting them! ;-)

ReplyDeleteYou know, these guys had short legs indeed, that's why they were in the cavalry! They weren't fast enough for the infantry! :P
