Xyston and Blue moon foot figures are great to paint but their horses look a little funny small or too big. I love painting Essex Cavalry and I agree with you there should be more poses.... oh well :o) <br />and yes ...... Vive la difference!<br /><br />cheers,Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-62869860596505024432015-04-04T18:05:50.888-05:002015-04-04T18:05:50.888-05:00Moiterei, you are too kind.

At their worst, they can be quite a trial to paint. I've never painted Blue Moon but they look comparable to the lovely Xyston. Essex horses are to die for. They lose a point at times with the limited poses but for me, that's not a problem. Vive la difference!
