This December we are further tempted to buy ourselves a cheeky Christmas present to yourself by Pegaso as they have three excellent new sculpts on offer!
Code: 75-105
Height: 75mm
Painter: Aleks Michelotti
Sculptor: Ebroin
Material: White Metal
This standard bearer of Napoleon’s Grenadier guards is so beautifully decked out in regalia you had better bring lots of gold paint to the workbench! Sculpted by the talented Ebroin and painted in this instance by Aleks Michelotti the figure normally comes supplied in a box unassembled and unpainted in white metal parts.
The detailed gilded embroided flag, the sash and shoulder boards are all loose and flapping in the breeze as do the tails on this coat. They all hang pretty naturally and we cannot fail to be impressed by this sculpt.

This gladiator has nothing to do with the dodgy TV show full of lycra in the 90’s – this “performer” was heavily armed with a large helmet and a short stabbing sword or “gladius” and his helmet with the tiny eye holes was purpose built to suit this fighter who was often matched with the Retiarius who was armed with long distance weapons like the net and trident. The sport was in watching them counter each other. The name Secutor came from the Latin for "Follower” or "I follow, come or go after"
His scutum or rectangular shield is ornate but the real detail here is the brutish figure of the Secutor as he is built like a tank in Carles Vaquero’s sculpt and his thick belt and armed shoulder guard are very well sculpted as well.

Well look at this dandy! This mounted figure depicting a Colonel of the 7e régiment de hussards sure cuts a nice shape as he is seen tipping his cap to someone in a an act of saluting or respect.
His beautiful steed is sculpted here with his tail up and prancing – his ornate reigns, stirrup, saddle and horse blanket truly do match the regalia of it’s owner who could not look more fancy if he tried. This is a great figure for painters as you can see from this painted version.

As leader of the organization Molay was well within his
rights when he asked the then pope Clement the 5th to investigate
certain spurious accusations of blasphemy and sodomy that had recently been
made against his order. Things backfired on Molay when Phillip IV used this
opportunity to arrest Molay and his whole order on these very same charges! It didn’t
pay to be honest in the 1200’s.
When Molay and his men retracted their statements which they
said were taken from them under duress his men were imprisoned and as further punishment
Molay was burnt at the stake. It is this dramatic incident which is caught here
in this new bust from Pegaso. Sculpted in four parts of resin in 1/9th
scale by Viktor Konnov the real challenge will be to re-create the flames
licking Molay’s torso..

Often these soldiers’ doles out not just orders to their men but pay and often punishments of needed.
He has a great expression of rage on his face as he screams
an order (– maybe it is “where’s my whip?) and his shield and feather plume on
his helmet look resplendent under the brush hand of the box art artist Danilo

Jean-Andoche Junot, 1st Duke of Abrantès (24 September 1771 – 29 July 1813) was
a French general during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Nicknamed "the
Tempest" for his unpredictable and courageous behaviour, he first met
Napoleon Bonaparte during the Siege of Toulon in 1793 when he became his
secretary. And later Primary aide de camp.
He had a very
colourful life and served with not only the French but Italian armies and seved
in Portugal before later in life he began showing signs of erratic behaviour from
a blow to the head he received as a younger man. Said to have maybe faked his death after an
apparent suicide you
should look him up – he was an interesting man!
Sculpted here in 75mm or 1/24th scale in white metal Andrea Jula I think
he is a good representation of the man as seen in drawings of the time. He does
look very resplendent in his uniform!

As a part of the celebrations of their 20th birthday Pegaso of Italy have brought out a figure from the “Black Watch” in the Napoleonic war join the celebration..
Originally a Scottish militia raised by General George wade
to keep watch for local crime and rustling – the “Black Watch are one of the
most famous units in the British Army. By 1815 the single battalion 42nd fought
at the chaotic Battle of Quatre Bras on 16 June and was one of four battalions
mentioned in despatches by Wellington.
Two days later at the Battle of Waterloo, the 42nd and also
the 2nd/73rd Highlanders, which was later to become the new 2nd Battalion,
Black Watch, were both in some of the most intense fighting in the battle and
lost 289 men. The standard bearer was a symbol of the unit’s honour – and now Pegaso
have chosen one of these soldiers to represent their 20th birthday
anniversary kit.
+(2).jpg)
This figure is sculpted by Ebroin, the in house man at Pegaso
and painted in this instance by our man Pietro Balloni – he has done a great
job to bring not only the soldier but he large standard to life in such a
dramatic fashion.
+(3).jpg)
Cast in 1/24th scale (75mm) in white metal you
can see a lot of detail in this soldier – his sporran brings your attention for
all the right reasons – in fact there is minute detail all over this kit which
is very fine and Ebroin is indeed a skilful sculptor

Because this was a limited edition of 299 signed figures, and the model has
already been presented to several people at Euromilitaire only 70 pieces – so for
your own sake get in there fast people!

encompassed camouflage in not only the colours it is dyed in but the little
loops in the helmet cover which can hold vegetation.
Painted here by Diego Ruina here he comes in either painted
or unfinished forms in bare white metal of 16 parts. Ebroin the sculptor
carefully added lots of accessories that these soldiers would normally have,
including a gas mask, entrenching tool, bread bag, canteen, a grenade in his
belt of which there is also some ammo in his pouches for his “widowmaker” the

This large Templar standard bearer looks very dramatic as he
has a raised foot on a battlement block. In real life He didn't actually
"bear the standard" in battle — he marched in front of the banner and
led his marching column.
The Standard Bearer – who was also called the Confanonier,
was in charge of the Squires and he was in charge of paying the wages, he also
was their disciplinarian, and the man who checked over their very important
work of keeping the knights' horses and weapons in good order.

The Draconarius was a type of signiferi who bore a cavalry standard known as a Draco in the Roman and then later the Byzantine army. These soldiers bore a large pole with a dragon’s head looking fearsome on top with a large cloth body hanging behind it.
This Soldier of the Byzantine army is in full mail armour with a large round shield and double sided axe. You can see his roman heritage in his armour and the sculpt by Ebroin has some lovely fine detail.

Wowsers this bust from Viktor Konnov shows a real emotion in his face as he dives into his final target, scarf flailing in an open cockpit and an intense look on his face. The emotion of his final moments is conveyed here very well in this sculpt.
The painted figure here that has been painted by Diego Ruina really has a lot or drama in his face and his large red Japanese flag insignias which add colour to the bust. It surely will attract a few collectors out there from aircraft circles as well.

This early Germanic-Roman warrior shows off his Roman
heritage in this 75 mm sculpt. He wears a mail chain shirt and roman style
helmet – the rest though is pure Germanic – a large round shield with an equally
large axe. He also carries a large – non Romanesque sword and a short curved
handled gladius or dagger.
The large fur on the rear of the figure as a cape and you

The native Americans who settled along the Delaware River
were often called the "Grandfather" tribe because they were respected
by other tribes as peacemakers since they often served to settle disputes among
rival tribes. The Delaware Indians were also known for their fierceness and
tenacity as warriors when they had to fight, and this warrior indeed looks very
fierce in this sculpture.
This figure has only chaps and a waist cloth on and carries
an early musket while he still carries
all of his traditional garb, necklace, earings and a large headdress and armbands on this sculpture all look great
loosely flowing of the sculpt’s body.
The figure is indeed made in 1/20th scale by Andrea
Julia and at that size I am impressed by the detail. To finish him off this
example is painted by Aleks Michelotti who has improved on the original by making
him look quite “hard” in his war paint

The Slavic Warriors were sandwiched in between the Germanic
and eastern hordes in the mid first century – against these two superpowers of their
time they still forged a strong identity of their own and a strong culture that
endures to this day. This warrior captain looks like he is an experienced or
wealthy man as he is decked out with all that was important to a warrior of his
time.
From his long Lombard eastern style helmet to his large
round shield which he used in tandem with his long spear and sword, not to
mention his picket axe on his belt he means business.

This highland warrior of the “dark ages” in what is now
Scotland certainly looks the type. His warm clothing certainly betrays his Nordic
heritage and his large battle axe looks pretty bad*ss and he has also a sword
and dagger on his ornately decorated belt.
Having lots of expensive weapons and armour often told a lot
about the warrior in those days – the higher up the chain you were the more you
could afford to adorn yourself with. This nobleman with his weapons, padded and
chain armour reflects his high social standing. Many warriors of that age did
not even have much more than a club they fashioned themselves.
The windblown large cape on the Nobleman’s shoulders is fur
lined and covered with his clan’s colours – this could be coloured how you like
it – opening up lots of different possibilities…This figure is on sale right
now unpainted and unconstructed .

This Roman Praetorian comes in seven resin parts unpainted –
though you can here by the painting by the very talented Danilo Cartacci how
this excellent sculpt by the equally gifted Viktor Konnov could look! With his
blood red cape and his ornate breast plate underneath to his large red plume on
his decorative helmet he is every bit as impressive as he would have been
capable by the looks of it.
I really like the way the feather and the cape are caught by
gravity and drape down on the body – this is more impressive the longer you
look at it painted up like this.
Sculpted by the very talented Andrea Jula we guess he must
have been wandering in the mind recently – certainly we had not heard of the Ra'eesah
Desert. The funny thing is that the name “Raeesah” means Princess in Arabic –
so that MAY explain a few things – ohh there goes my mind again!

The figure of the princess comes in 1/24th scale or
75mm for the old boys like me, and it is made from six parts of white metal.
She looks to me like an ancient Arabic warrior of some far away sect forgotten
in time – so I suppose that she is well sculpted – as these figures should take
your mind away from the here and now.
I like very much the sword and shield or “buckler” which is
ornate as well as it is beautiful. This is a figure best not left alone with –
the painting here is excellent as well and brings out the subtle lines in the
sculpt.
These figures are now

New Item from Pegaso in
December 2012
This Gladiator is from Pegaso’s “Gladiators” series of 1/24
busts – he carries a short “Gladius”
sword and a battered but beautifully ornate shield which is a “V” shape and in
this painted version (by Aleks Michelotti) has a warrior with the torso of a
man but the legs of an octopus.
His helmet is ornate and decorated with feathers and his
body is only covered with light cloth and a belt around his wait but a fully
armoured sword-arm and leg bracers give him some protection. He also has a
gilded but mainly decorated chest plate

This amazing mounted figure comes unpainted in 1/24th
scale – the detail here is astounding for such a scale – the horse armoured
like a dragon and Toyotomi himself – resplendent in armour and a large fanned
head dress – this will make for an impressive model on the competition tables I
think..
Lauded in Japan as one of their national folklore heroes – this
man was very real - Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born on February 2, 1536 and lived
until his death in September 18, 1598. He was a daimyo, a warrior, a general
and politician of the Sengoku period in Feudal Japan.
Toyotomi helped to unify the political factions of Japan at
the time which had been a society of many different kingdoms until then. He
succeeded his former liege lord, Oda Nobunaga, and brought an end to the
Sengoku period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period,
named after Hideyoshi's castle. He is noted for a number of cultural legacies,
including the restriction that only members of the samurai class could bear
arms. Hideyoshi is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier”

Called the Ułan in Polish these soldiers were used mainly in the 17th
to the 19th centuries. Their main function on the battlefield was of
a traditional cavalry unit – they were amongst the last unit types in Europe to
cease using armour whilst retaining the ancient pointed lance.
The polish lancers served with
many army’s including Napoleons – and this lancer seems to be from Napoleon's
French Imperial Guard as the 1er Regiment de Chevau-Legers-Lanciers de la Garde
Impériale. He has the large “N” on his helmet whilst it still retains the
traditional Polish shape.
This lancer – sculpted in resin
1/9th scale by Richard Galicek has been beautifully detailed with
the accoutrements of many soldiers of the time – braids and medals are clearly
defined - he has enough material here to
keep a haberdashery shop into good business!

The Lakota are a part of the western most tribes of the Sioux
Indian tribes of North America and at the time of western settlement in the United
States. These men and women were a proud part of the first nation of that
country.
There were many famous Lakota warriors – amongst the most
well know is the warrior chief “Crazy Horse” – and this warrior could well be
him – Painted here by the master Diego Ruina – he is rearing up on his brown
and white spotted Piebald steed in his full feathered head dress and his
colourful war gear in place.
The 1/20th kit comes unpainted and in fourty six white metal
pieces and is sculpted by Andrea Jula. Delicate feathers are flying in the air
and the horse’s mane is flying up in the air as this horse rears up. The
warrior chief is muscular and apart from his head-dress carries his weapons he
looks pretty full of life and movement in this pose..
The Roman Signifier has been made by a few companies but the latest – this example from Pegaso was available – painted up impressively by Diego Ruina and sculpted by Ebroin in white metal this was indeed turning some heads at the Pegaso stand!!

The signifier is the soldier that bears the signum, a
typical Roman symbol. Its origin was a simple tuft of grass tied on a stick. In
time it was gradually adorned with solar and Lunar emblems in metal and then
later with symbols of glory and victory.
.jpg)
The Signifier in the Roman Imperial army acted as a strategic
marker to tell one unit and also their own units from other’s on the battlefield He also directed his own troops into battle with the wave of his standard
– showing where to attack the enemy. Standing just behind the front line the
Signifier would be safe from imminent attack – but often they would join in and
fight in the front – though they were more valuable to the commander than just
front line soldiers and their capture would be a blow for the whole unit.
These soldiers were usually a senior man who led the unit in
all marches, he also was entrusted as the soldiers pension master for his unit,
he paid for the soldiers funerals when they died and so was well respected and
held a lot of trust in his unit.

This Samurai warrior was a fan favourite at the Euro
Militaire show – even though it was inside the glass presentation case the
flowing long feather s and colourful ad excellently sculpted armour and accoutrements
made by the very talented Ebroin really did catch the crowd’s eye.
Called the "Flying General". His image usually as
a handsome and mighty warrior wearing a long pheasant-tailed headdress and
wielding a ji known as the "Sky Piercer" (simplified Chinese: 方天画戟;
traditional Chinese: 方天畫戟; pinyin: Fāngtiān Huàjǐ) on top
of his steed Red Hare was later popularized by Luo Guanzhong's historical novel
Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the story, he is considered the single most
powerful warrior in all of China.
This figure was painted by our man Pietro Balloni and he
really has brought out he features in this figure – standing at 90mm tall (1/20th
scale) this figure will surely be at Euro Militaire next year – maybe on some
judging tables with some gold awards.

This very interesting figure of an Officer of the Tsar's
Guard in the early 1830’s is exquisitely kitted out in all over mail armour and
red coat accoutrements.
The Officer carries a compound bow and arrow quiver in an
ornately decorated red case. The guard is also protected by a close quarter short
stabbing sword in a lovely sheath on the Officer’s waist.
You can see by this picture how the figure replicates all of
the major facts of the original guards – right down to the horsewhip and
headwear. Sculptor Viktor Konnov did a great job in adding detail whilst on

The Chieftain bust is sculpted by Luca Marras and in this
case painted by Diego Ruina - and gee they have done a great job in bringing
the 1/9th figure to life – you can see the life almost in the Chief’s
eyes as the wind lightly takes his long hair – gee in the right hands this can
come out pretty nice.
Impressive is the Chieftain’s light chest armour and as a
feature of Pegaso’s - the shield is ornately detailed as it wold have been on
this man of property in real life – his weapons would have told a lot about
this man and it is good that this detail is included here.
You can get these figures and see some of the other amazing
figures in the Pegaso range on their website – or even

bearing the tricolour flag. She is made from nineteen pieces of white metal in
1/24th scale - the figure is sculpted by Benoit Cauchies.
You can buy this figure unpainted but in this case it is
coloured by the very talented Massimo Pasquali who has brought out all of the
shades on the different textures to make this an outstanding piece. Considering
the small scale it is a wonderful job all round.

Made from Resin – this 1/9th scale bust is cast
in six pieces of resin and sculpted by the excellent Victor Konnov
Well-received by modellers – the Samurai era in feudal Japan
the figure is an older and war weary warrior with a very interesting patch over
his right eye (or is he just foxing?)
You can see his beautifully detailed clothing, hair, head
wear and face have been brought out excellently in this figure which credit
must go to the painter Riccardo Riva.
Sculptor Carles Vaquero has created this model figure of “Aristide
Greek General, Plataea 479 A.C.” in the kit no: 75-092 for Pegaso. This
wonderful example was painted by Alexander Cortina. Alexander did an amazing
job on this figure – from the checked helmet to the muscle tone to the ornate
shield the painting is fabulous.
Made from twenty white metal parts, this is a 1/20 scale kit
of 350grams and stands 75mm tall when completed.
What impressed me about this figure is his mighty helmet
with green horse hair plume (didn’t know there was any green horses back then)
and well detailed shield which is just as ornate on the front as on the handle
side. This figure has too many nice points to talk about just enjoy the pics J
Sculpted by Mike Polski Kit No: 90-055 “Mamluk Officer, 1805”
captures a soldier who well may have been involved in the fighting in the
rebellion of Cairo or more likely in the Battle Austerlitz in which the Malmuks
fought with great distinction.
Danilo Cartacci painted this individual figure – it is supplied in its
natural state as a kit of sixteen white metal pieces weighing 450 grams and
stands at 90mm high. The 1/20 scale figure is part of Pegaso’s French 18th
century series which makes me think that it is a soldier from Austerlitz.
The figure features nicely flowing robes which are sitting
just right, a very natural face with ling moustache and lifelike hands on which
you can see sinews and tendons under the skin.
He is indeed armed to the teeth as well with two pistols a
long sword and short sword all in his belt.
From the new series called “Artistic Statues” this figure (AS-001)
is indeed just that – standing at 20cm high this figure is a full body sculpt
in resin of one of the emperor’s bodyguards – the Pretorian Guard soldier from
the 1st Century B.C..
Sculpted by Victor Konnov and in this case painted by Diego
Ruina this figure consists of seventeen pieces of resin weighing almost 500 grams
– the figure is actually a 1/9th scale replica – a big model – I think
Pegaso have made a great start to the series – he definitely will be popular!
This tall figure of the guard of the Emperor looks
magnificent painted up here, the detail of his robes and breast plates can be
made out very well in this sculpt and his ornate breast plate, helmet and short
roman sword are quite impressive. Nice work indeed and a great way to kick off the series.
Viking Berserkir
Category: Barbarians
Kit ID: 75-090
Material: White metal
Size: 75 mm
Pieces: 12
Sculptor: Alan Carrasco
Painter: Diego Ruina
The first kit – the Viking Berserkir (75-090) from the “Barbarians” series of figures
is a sculpt in White metal
The twelve pieces of white metal are sculpted by Alan
Carrasco and in this case this figure is painted by the master painter Diego
Ruina.
I really like his shield and wolves’ head. The
Norseman carries a large long sword and there is woad on this warriors face
giving him a fearful look – The fact that he is yelling/ screaming makes him
look even scarier!!
Officer
of the Guide on horseback, Egypt 1798 is the second figure on
the new release list from Pegaso this month
Officer of the Guide on horseback, Egypt 1798
Category: France XVII-XIX Cen.
Kit ID: 75-091
Material: White metal
Size: 75 mm
Pieces: 14
Sculptor: Richard Galicek
Painter: Danilo Cartacci
From the “France XVII-XIX Century” series, this
figure again is sculpted in white metal.
The Officer – in 75 mm scale is sculpted by Richard
Galicek and you can see him in his full regalia with large had and long
dangerous looking sabre. All of his uniform from the top of the hat down to his
jacket, pants and boots are all fastidiously detailed with fine details, braid
and a small bag on the soldiers back
You can see the great work of the sculpting’s details
brought out by painter Danilo Cartacci – the only thing this sculpture is
missing – is his horse!! ?
The Berserker and Officer of the Guide and all of the other figures here are available now by following this link from the Pegaso shop and all (very) good figure retailers
Pegaso February 2012 Releases:
Pegaso from Italy have sent their usual eye-popping preview of new product released this month which are sure to tempt a lot of modellers - Two more releases compliment the Mongolian archer to round off a more varied collection for February...
75-906 Vlad Dracul Sculptor Andrea Jula
This figure is of the (in)famous Vlad Dracul - Hungarian defender of Christianity and slayer of the turks (and everyone else who crossed him.) Vlad Dracul is represented here in a massive 1/24 scale
The figure shows some great work with the billowing of Dracul's clothing and the horse's mane. It looks like another successful release from Pegaso.
Sculpted by the great sculptor Mike Polski in white metal this is a great addition to your Napoleonic era soldiers collection.
You really can see the great work done on the intricacies of the uniform and the officer's regalia on his torso. This figure is made of fifteen pieces of white metal.
