About product

Fallen horse with a bloated belly, a 1:35 accessory

This element for building scenes from Pimp My Miniatures captures a draft horse lying with a visibly bloated body. In shape it differs from the calmer position on its side offered by a sister item in the same series, and in 1:35 scale it suits scenes set several days after fighting.

The horse as part of an army's transport train

Despite the spread of motorization, horse power remained the backbone of supply for many armies throughout the Second World War. It pulled guns, field kitchens and ammunition wagons, and losses among the animals were enormous. That is exactly why a fallen horse appears so often in period photographs from the roads of retreat, and in a modeling scene it is one of the elements that give a build historical credibility without needless gore.

Finish and placement

The coat is best built from a darker base toward the lightened areas: brown and dun shades, a dark wash into the muscle grooves and a hint of dust on the upper side. The taut skin over the body will take a somewhat lighter tone that makes the shape legible. Terrain material belongs under the belly and under the legs so that the part does not hang above the base. Sealing everything with a matte varnish and adding pigments in the color of the road is advisable.

When to reach for the accessory

  • When building scenes of retreat and supply
  • To bring out the time elapsed since the fighting
  • For a rural scene with a wagon or artillery
  • As a counterweight to vehicles on a larger base

The figure is unpainted; paints, pigments and the base underneath it are not supplied.

FAQ

This one has a markedly bloated body, while the other captures a calmer position on its side without that shaping.

Most often scenes from both world wars, where armies used horse teams, but it works in a civilian rural scene as well.

Washing the surface, checking for small imperfections and applying a base coat on which the paints hold better is advisable.
