Hi Guys

Having just watched War Horse wanted to have a go at a dio where the horses are pulling that gun up the hill and Revell have a kit of w w 2 artillery figures and guns ,big problem I had was very soft plastic and I wanted to change the horses from a gentle walk to pulling that gun . so had to change most of the legs , but I think it looks the part.you cant see much of shading on photos of figs but its there.


Any comments welcome.

I do like this Barry, has a wonderful sense of drama without the drama: the horse rearing slightly, is it spooked by the gun, or just sick and fed up. The barrenness of the trudge up the hill in mud and finally the business end of the gun crew. Nice work all round and one to be proud of.

Fantastic work Barry. It doesn't look 1/72, so that's good. Great work all round, from the base and scenery to the figures and horses and gun equipment.

I've never seen war horse yet but this is a fantastic diorama that is different from tanks or planes etc very well detailed and you have all he drama in the scene with such a small kit too


Fantastic

Fantastic work, Barry - in any scale. Those horses really look like they're straining up the hill.
