Reichswehr Kavallerie, Scholz' Künstlerische Soldatenbogen 27K - pt.2

Hello,

Today I'm showing you the figures from Scholz sheet 27K again, only this time cut out and assembled. This was my first find in 2025, and I was very happy about it. This is actually the only set I own both as a complete printed sheet version and completely cut out.



Unfortunately, the figures needed a lot of love to get them back on their feet. They must have been stored in damp conditions at some point—thank goodness they didn't start to mold! The bases were made of pressed cardboard and had become unusable. The figures themselves were a bit wavy. So I removed the old bases and pressed the figures for a while to make them flat again. Most of them never had any back reinforcement, and the ones that did have it at some point had come loose. So I gave the figures a layer of thin cardboard and glued on new wooden bases. I hope they're in good shape now to last for the next hundred years.



The officer in the front, at 11cm tall (8cm figure size), is actually slightly larger than the other 8 figures (10cm / figure size 7cm), which is further emphasized by the rider's different perspective.



I hope you like them as much as I do.

Best regards,

Andreas
