A bit of some old old figures. Atlantic Egyptian Chariots, later released again by Nexus... painted before the Caesar ones became available.

Claus good morning. The choice of colors for the horses, for the chariots and the clothes of the warriors is good. I would prefer a darker color for the warriors skin. In general the Bronze Age is of great interest.

Yes, I too would have preferred darker skin for them. However, I don't think I had that color, at the time, nor was I into mixing colors...

Also, this was my first conversion, ever, I think.

Hello,
If the Caesar's chariots expressly refer to the battle of Qadesh (1274/New Empire), for those of Atlantic I don't know .. and I have some questions (for you)
...just like for their infantrymen who appear quite rough (Middle empire ?) in their equipment and clothing ...
If someone hier has a date to provide me for these chariots and infantrymen...of Altlantic.
About the skin color of the Egyptian soldiers, it's a "hot potatoes" (with the Africanists who consider the Egyptian civilization as "exclusively" "Black")..

PSR gives the following estimate for their age (from Atlantics Egyptian Infantry range). But also comments that these were meant as toys, which is true, to an extent.

Zitat

During the New Kingdom many troops wore armour (metal or linen), including protection for the groin, so these figures would seem most useful for the late Old to perhaps the very early New Kingdom, dating them to around 2300 to 1500 BCE. However the stripped headcloth is a New Kingdom feature, and equally swords were very rare until the New Kingdom, so in all likelihood the design was intended to be generic Egyptian rather than any one particular period...

Their review of the "Cavalry" set, which it is called officially by Atlantic... does not have this caveat, or info on their age.

.. but it does comment on their lack of historicity. Which I agree with. Still figures like these, toys or not, inspired others to make figures for the ages in question and for people to be interested in them. It was a catalyst for me at least to learn a lot about ancient history, that was not taught in school.

Merci pour la réponse... avec tous ces liens de PSR très explicites.

Effectivement, entre les sets cavalerie /charrerie...ce ne sont pas d'ailleurs les Hyksos qui ont amené le cheval en Egypte (?)..et celui des fantassins - avec ou sans couvre-chefs - d'Atlantic, on a pas mal de contradictions ou d'anachronismes..
J'imagine aussi qu'il ne doit pas être évident aussi de se représenter un soldat de la fin de Ancien Empire/début Moyen Empire, même par ex si les fameuses miniatures de la tombe du general Mehseti..
Oui , avec les Grecs et ces Egyptiens,des "jouets" de qualité qui ont marqué notre enfance, des créations qui ont été des précurseurs..
Je dois avouer qu'ils ont une "belle" silhouette et que je préfère de loin ces Atlantics Egyptiens à ceux de Zvezda.

Yes, they have a beautiful silhouette. They look so clean, and simple. They are not overly complex pose wise, yet bring about a lifelike appearance, except for the chariots.

Some HäT Nubians.

In these figures the skin color is correct. The skin color of the Egyptians was definitely whiter than the Nubians but darker than the Greeks. On these figures I would have preferred the leopard skin over the white cloth.

However, with a search on the internet I noticed that the Nubians also appear in white clothing.

I agree, skins would perhaps have been in order, but as you say yourself, white is not unheard of.

The lower picture you show is from HäTs box.

This is the picture from Caesar's box.

Yes you are right, now I noticed the Hät box. Leopard skin is just personal preference. Anyway, good job.

Thank you :)

hi hier mal mein streitwagen von atlantic

Nicer skin than mine for sure. More realistic in general. Thanks for posting :)

Nice figures and realistic color choices. I like the Nubians better with the leopard skin
