Thought it might be interesting to show off some cavalry - in this case Zvezda Russian Guard Cossacks - against a plain background to see what not only i think, but more importantly, what you guys think of figures displayed this way. It kinda reminds me of the Plastic Soldier Review mixed with a German site i used to visit some years ago, which inspired me enormously, but which unfortunately i have forgotten the name of.
If anyone sees a similarity and think they can jog my memory i would be most grateful.
Anyways, here goes;

One of the biggest problems I had with these figures was getting the riders to sit on their horses.
I used a new, and may i say dangerously sharp scalpel, to cut away at the underside of the riders until i could get them to sit reasonably well on their steeds. In truth i think i was only partially successful. Anyone find a better solution? Am planning to resculpt some hats and convert a dozen or so of these chaps into Don Cossack figures in the near future so if anyone has found a perfect solution I'd love to hear from you.

Found another piccie with some French Cuirassiers and Polish Guard Lancers photographed similarly...
