Hi all
Here a another small vignette.
Close combat between Carthaginian and roman cavalryman.
Figures are: Zvezda for the carthaginian and Italeri for roman cavalrymen (as you can see slightly modified)
Hope you like it.

The vignette is good, but bad for the Roman (as least it looks like that). Me like! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The painting is good, the figures are good, the dead horse is good, the groundwork is good, the vignette is good. Just an excellent work Alex :thumbup:

@Chris: I think these painters are a bit lazy. When they paint dead horses, they only have to paint one side of the horse! :lol: :joker:

Hi,
Nice vignette.
Looks bad for the Roman.
He seems to turn as dead as his horse...
