WW2 1928 1/6 scale McClellan saddle

[CesarD]

Thanks to a few good men on this forum, I was able to complete my latest 1/6 scale model. Not alot of information out there on a saddle that's considered modern. Anyway I hope you like it.

Best,

AMAZING work! :thumbsup:

If I could make but one suggestion, that would be to change the canteen to a M1918 with the aluminum lid as that's all they had while horses were being used stateside and was the coomon canteen until just about the time the war ended. With the scale you have, I think painting the lid you have to match the body of canteen itself would do the trick.

I am curous, did you put the US brand on the horse figure anywhere?

You do fantastic work and your attention to detail for the size is superb. Bravo!!!!!!!!!! Looks like you even have the M1924 modified saddle bags! :thumbsup:

Cesar,

Absolutely amazing. The attention to detail is perfect. By the way, the mohair cinch is spot on.

Thank you Sir and thanks for the tip on the canteen. It will be done. No, there is no stamp on the horse because I use this horse for all my saddlemaking.

Thank you and thanks to you for all your help. Yes they are the 1924's. I almost forgot to add the extra pockets!

Thanks again.

Thank you George very much. The cinch is made of waxed cotton cord and I had some laying around.

I've never seen any of the original items including the cinch, but I think it was a decent match.

Thanks again for all your help.

Thank you meatcan but I can't take credit for the horse. My friend in Mexico makes these beautiful sculpts and paints them aswell. He's very talented. He goes by nohuanda on google.

Thanks again and a Happy July 4th to everyone. This is the greatest country in the world!!!

Have you made this a commercial product?

 

A 28 saddle would be awesome

When I saw this I was just amazed at the quality of Cesar's work.....and the horse was just down right unbelievable. I just thought he did this for himself so I dropped him a pm to see if he would be interested in making me one. Well as you all probably know Cesar has a web site and produces these. I had to order one!!!! I ordered the 1928 and a beautiful horse just like the one he shows here. I like the profile. Since I know nothing about 1/6 scale soldiers, is there a 1/6 scale Cavalryman out there? Where can I find one or have one made.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

I was thrilled when I first saw this magnificent work of art and on Monday I was overwhelmed when I saw this in person. I received the horse, saddle and accoutrements yesterday. Really I'm at a loss for words. You need to see these to really appreciate Cesars work.

Thank you Cesar. After all you've been thru I can't imagine how you could even do this. I appreciate your effort.

Thanks again.

Cesar,

 

Another beautiful saddle!! I have one more suggestion on the '28: You should thin down the stirrups. On the 1928 model Mac, they removed the hoods and thinned the stirrups to save weight. Check out post #17 on this thread.
