Custer Last Stand

Posted by daikaigan on 29 Jan 2016, 16:14

:-D After many years I finally realized the dream of my childhood
It will be produced by me in the full version ( White Metal ), a limited edition of 60 sets
while a set reduced to 10 figures and two horses will be produced by Waterloo1815
those interested can write me a message with your email
so that I can communicate any costs (including shipping)
At the moment I am not yet aware, I think I will know by next week
This is set in a limited edition

Massimo, they look fantastic, and by far the best looking set on the subject, well done. Have you thought about doing a character set for the Zulu war ? and did you ever finish that wonderful diorama of the 17th Lancers breaking out of the square at Ulundi ?

Thank you,
the famous diorama of Ulundi, I made a gift of this for the first time
and then at Christmas as this was done on a shelf I have asked back
and I have made this a new gift to my german friend Uwe
Maybe he will reproduce this, in white metal
Thanks

is possible, but at the moment it is too early to tell
it is possible to complete a painting at which I was inspired

Stunning scene! :shock:

Finally some truly authentic figures for this prominent episode of the Sioux Wars/American Indian Wars.
I love the very lifelike poses of this action-heavy set! :yeah:

Will the Waterloo1815 version be in plastic?
Also, reducing this superbly composed arrangement to only 10 poses seems downright wrong to me.
Lets convince them to do the whole scene in plastic! :-D

Hello,

Fantastic animation which immediately brings back memories of Robert Shaw as Audie Custer when I was a child, in glorious Cinerama!
