: The Carolina Miniature kit of Ashby on horse may be the first mounted kit honoring Turner Ashby. Our horse was cast with special care. There are only a few kits with a horse with both front feet off the ground. Many kits use some ground effect under a front hoof to give the horse's back legs support. That method is a negative in our opinion. It looks bad! We did something innovative. A piano wire was cast inside each of our horse's back leg(s) which will prevent any possiblity of sagging in the future. The 54mm pewter kit is unpainted, and comes with its own resin base. Artist Doug Cohen deserves special mention for his painting and his work on the horse. Ashby was famous for using a fox horn to sound the charge and for his feathered plume in his hat.

We also offer the alternative of putting a LeMat revolver in Ashby's hand rather than a cavalry sword. We believe our 54mm version of the LeMat is another first. Just add a memo in your order indicating you want the LeMat. Click on the link below for a picture of Ashby with his LeMat revolver in hand.
