mounted on the standard Hinchliffe heavy cavalry (used by both Persians and Byzantines) ...I have a few!
ReplyDeleteGot quite a few lying around myself.
DeleteLovely figures and horses I had forgotten about.
ReplyDeleteI consider it to be one of the better Hinchliffe figures.
DeleteBecause of your posts Rob I bought myself a few from Ian Hinds. They were a real pleasure to paint. Im not certain they are historically correct, but luckily Herodotus has been dead a few years now so cant complain.Now Ive seen these decked out in purple I can see me painting up a few more.
ReplyDeleteThey match Herodotus quite well - not sure about the helmet but it looks good so not worried about it!
DeleteThey are rather nice...
ReplyDeleteThe horses bring back memories of my juvenile self attempting to solder reigns in place.... oh! The horror 😱
All the best. Aly
Tried soldering figures once... didn't repeat the experiment...
DeleteI've never understood my attraction to Hinchliffe but there it is nonethe less and theyformed the core of my Late Roman and Flodden Scots armies. (Heritage strictly speaking)
ReplyDeleteWhen they came out (1973? 1974?) I thought that ionly three things stopped them being the best: long arms, lousy metal and twisted-out-of-shape minimal bases on the cavalry.
