1/72 Waterloo1815 - WWII German Cavalry (IMG&Link Review)
Posted by Panzer_Grenadire on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 8:40 AM

Apart the most attractive topic, with “WWII German Cavalry (Set1)” Waterloo 1815 has strived to fill in several gaps, bringing items barely encountered in Braille Scale such as anti-tank rifle, flare pistol, and Torn.Fu.b1 radio. However, the set provides a low number of cavalry-men and records some other draw-backs, so this unit, scarcely portrayed in 1/72 scale, still waits for a proper representation.

Horses in WWII German service is a subject most beloved and of great interest for me. A comprehensive review of this set, together with plenty of images, showing the standard and modified figs and horses, as well as other stuff of interest, are available here:

As you will notice, I first took photos of the figures with the standard heads and then with converted ones, using Zvezda heads. I strived respecting sculptor’s initial will and to add heads looking close to the original ones. Such approach cost me lot of time and involved plenty of efforts, but I hope you will enjoy them.

Several samples here, but much more images at the above provided link.
