Master Box "Reaper"

Built this one last year, not really impressed with Master Box, mouldings are soft and fit of parts is awful, I added the GSD, which could do with a repaint.

Yes, some of MiniArt's large scale figures are... difficult! I gave away a horse to @Steve Ski for him to practice equine painting with the second one MiniArt customer service sent, which was no better. I did build the first one though.
 
Looked very closely at their "Western series" and found that the cavalry figures that they produced were historically inaccurate ( I used to to do living history many years ago and am a touch obsessed with accuracy LOL) so really haven't had anything to do with them, I have been getting my figures through alia express and they have been great and not big bucks..
 
My wife can't stand when I point out issues in movies. Sorry, if they have a 50 star US flag on the flag pole when Churchill is meeting Ike I'm not watching the damn movie!
Same here but I do the same with commercials. Latest one, last night, was the Safelite auto glass repair. Why would an idiot install a bike rack over a car in a garage, move the car in and THEN hang the bike? Common sense is no longer common.
 
Cavalry guidon? Plains war era?
Little Big Horn 2006.
Sadly I lost a D drive here, a few years ago and lost just about all my photos, I have a few from Gettysburg (2008) and LBH, plus WW1 and viking era, all the rest gone.....here is one of me in 1876 pattern US cavalry with my old Malinois, whom I had for 14 years.

You get so much insight actually walking the grounds. I've read about the battle of Cowpens many times and not until I walked the battlefield did I understand how you could hide another line of troops over rolling hills.
Great looking pup also! :mpup
 
A couple of years ago I had a very short opportunity to visit Gettysburg. I did a Google map search and ran across the "Model of the Gettysburg Battlefield".
As this was kind of first thing on a Monday morning I was there when they opened and it was early March so a bit off season. I was the only person in there and it was well worth the $8.50 I paid to get in. While my dad was a real Civil war enthusiast, I never really was that interested. Also while I had heard of a number of the skirmishes and battles at Gettysburg I had no real reference on what was what and where.
The model was done so well with awesome lighting and presentation that I had no problem identifying where and what everything was later when I left and drove through the battlefield.
If you ever go to Gettysburg I highly recommend visit the model first.

I was at Gettysburg in 2008 for the 145th, they have something similar in the army museum in London but that is Waterloo
