| A French Hussar of Rgt. Ferrari de Interani, ca. 1745 |
Starting from resin castings of my ambling horse mannequin (see older post), I have sculpted three more horse mannequins in the following poses: leaping, trotting, and cantering.
 |
| Leaping horse mannequin sections |
 |
| Trotting horse mannequin sections |
 |
| Cantering horse mannequin sections |
 |
Assembled horse mannequins: leaping (left), trotting (center), cantering (right)
|
Two galloping poses have come out for free by further combining the sides of the above mannequins.
 |
| Galloping horse mannequins |
I then set off to complete the masters of my five new horses, sculpting the manes, the tails, the shoes, and the tack.
(Note the occasional, small cylindrical pieces added to the masters in order to create adequate air venting in the rubber mold).

| Leaping horse master |
 |
| Trotting horse master |
 |
| Cantering horse master |
 |
| Galloping horse master No. 1 |
 |
| Galloping horse master No. 2 |
Here below follow the pictures of painted resin castings of each of my six hussar horses.
Three of the assembled castings turned out somewhat unstable, due to the thin base bending under the weight of the horse. For this reason, I added small supports in the shape of dust or dirt clouds kicked up by the horse's hooves.
