Have to agree with everyone in saying what a fine depiction of these Cossack ruffians you have done. They really were beautiful figures for their time, they haven't aged too much and you have done a fine job of revamping them. The only thing i think you could have done was to remove the mould line running smack down the middle of the horses face. With a sharp blade, and a touch up with enamel paint you'd have improved them even more.
I particularly love the cossack with the eye patch whose inspiration was most certainly a character who 'bit the snow' with a bullet from Feraud (or was it d'Hubert) in the Duellists - filmed by the way in the Scottish Highlands if i am not mistaken.
Congratulations Mabo, you have definitely captured the essence of the Cossacks..
