I drilled out the eagle and glued it to some brass rod as I'm not a fan of soft metal poles, spears etc - they are too fragile. The horses didn't require too much work, i.e. not many mold lines, but I had to look very carefully for the odd thin stick of metal that is common with Perry sculpted minis, including their Lord of the Rings stuff. I love your work, by the way :-)Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480914097085753969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772035200507882593.post-2806493847045518902015-01-16T11:20:45.394+00:002015-01-16T11:20:45.394+00:00nice work! a very nice project I will be following...nice work! a very nice project I will be following with a lot of interest! I myself started working on a cuirassier division (1815) - using metal Perry miniatures also.<br /><br />see http://nsa33.casimages.com/img/2015/01/16/150116122009989176.png for the first two squadrons of the 1st regiment.<br /><br />A couple of questions for you: what frontage do you use? what did you use to replace the flag pole provided by the Perrys? did you also have a lot of work to 'fix' the horses before painting?Blancardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02386013009915341544noreply@blogger.com
