I think if someone were to ask me what my all time favourite 1/72 Napoleonic cavalry figure was, this chap would be high on my list. And to tell you the truth both he and his mount were painted many many moons ago.
It might be an interesting challenge for me to try to find, deep in the depths of my unpainted collection, another of this Revell combo of figures and paint them both in oils, unlike the old rider figure shown below, who was painted in enamels and his horse which was painted using an oil wiping off technique that i learned as a youngster from my mentor, the late great Bill Brewer down in Peckham Lane, London.
My knowledge has come a long way but am afraid my eyes are nowhere near what they were back then. (But then again I do have an Optivisor nowadays to help).
