Responsibility details are not available.
A set of unpainted figures of Australian mounted infantry from the First World War in 1:72 scale. Cavalry sets tend to hold fewer pieces than infantry ones, because every figure consists of a rider and a horse. The material is soft plastic, on which ordinary cement for polystyrene will not hold and neither will paint without preparation. That is not a fault but a property of the material that you simply need to allow for in advance.
The Australian Light Horse was not classic cavalry: the horses served for movement and the soldiers fought dismounted, rifle in hand. They were deployed in the Middle East theater, where the open desert landscape gave mobility a point that it lacked on the trench-bound Western Front. They became famous for the charge at Beersheba in 1917, when the riders exceptionally attacked in the saddle and took the wells before the defenders could destroy them.
Wash the figures first in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry completely. Then apply a primer intended for soft plastics. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Paint the rider separately and seat him on the horse only at the end. Leave the khaki shade of the uniform faded and add dust; the desert bleached cloth quickly.
The figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
