Man and Horse , just fantastic .....
The Horse should rest too , it seems to walk , possible , but a very special Moment to realize in a Diorama .
But i like it ....

This looks nearly like the moment at the second crusade as Richard the lionhearth and his army fist saw the city of Jerusalem. Many of them felt on their knees and prayed. This would be just the figure for this moment. But as Andreas said, the Horse have to stand. maybe shaking his head or so?

When the Knights first saw Jerusalem was in my Mind too ... i thougt about the 1st Crusade .

I´m a bit confused about Richard . He was one of the Leaders of the 3 rd Crusade and he never saw Jerusalem .

Or am i wrong ?

yes, my fault, it was the 3rd crusade. But Richard reached Jerusalem. He saw the city but then decided to turn and went bach to Akko. He never attacked Jerusalem and made a peacecontract with Saladin

This looks very promesing

will you keep your idea of this moment or turn it into a praying knight? Both ways are very interresting.

Just do both...both poses would be equally usefull.

i agree , maybe you think about a standing Horse ?

Nice idea
