17th Century European Harquebusier Cavalry Soldier with Wheellock Pistol 1/12 Resin Bust

About This Kit

This 1/12 resin bust depicts a 17th Century European Harquebusier cavalry soldier armed with a wheellock pistol, capturing the distinctive appearance of mounted musketeers during the Baroque era and the Thirty Years War. The figure showcases period-accurate military dress including a golden-yellow doublet layered beneath dark metal breastplate armor, complemented by a leather ammunition bandolier crossing the torso. The soldier wears a characteristic morion-style helmet with ear flaps and a subtle crest, while his weathered face and full beard convey the hardened demeanor of a professional soldier.

The wheellock pistol is rendered with fine mechanical detail, held firmly in the figure's gauntleted hand, while an orange sash cinches the waist—a common identifier of cavalry ranks during this period. The sculptor has paid careful attention to realistic proportions and surface texturing throughout, from the worn metalwork to the fabric folds of the costume. This 1/12 scale bust requires standard assembly and painting typical of quality resin model kits.

Ideal for military history enthusiasts, diorama builders, and collectors focusing on European cavalry of the Thirty Years War or broader Baroque military subjects, this bust pairs naturally with other period figures or serves as a striking standalone display piece.

Painting & Assembly

This kit arrives unassembled and unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom. We recommend using cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin assembly. Clean parts with warm soapy water before priming. Use a quality resin primer before painting with acrylics or enamels. Pin larger joints for a stronger bond.
