As I mentioned back in Post 24, the Old
Glory mounted figures don’t match their
mounts at all well. It took lumps of green
stuff to build up the bellies of the horses and
raise the height of their backs where the
riders are meant to sit. The result was a
definite improvement but without a major
rebuilding of saddles and horses, the figures
were left still looking unfinished.
Is there a point where the reins and the
hands meant to be holding them are so far
apart that it looks like the rider is a mime
artist? Or is it just me?
The figures received a bit of rough handling
while I worked with the green stuff. In
future, I would paint them after mounts and
riders got it together.
