Thanks for kind words on the base Nap...much appreciated (y) When Del first mentioned the up-turned canon barrel I wasn't sure but...as said...I am so glad I went with it...the perfect counterpoint to the figure IMHO. I love doing horses...especially dappled grey's...so many to draw...

It's a very heavy kit indeed Richie...add to that the base...stonework and canon barrel...and you wouldn't want to put it on a glass shelf :eek::whistle: There was no box art as such...just a black and white sheet..as per the usual for PM kits...and most I have seen painted are on white...

Thanks Steve...glad you like it mate (y)

This and the mounted Dragoon were my two favourite pieces from Ray...and a great difference between them in complexity regarding the separate horse furniture/tack...a real challenge to pre-fit etc. Cheers for comment Bill...and glad to have you following :) Ron

I have Del to thank for the idea of the canon barrel...and am pleased I used it now. Pleased you like the base/groundwork :)

Glad you like it mate :)

Glad to have you along for the ride mate :)

Well it's been a fair while since I posted...what with the Pandemic and life in general...I really didn't feel like painting. Then...out of the blue...a good friend of mine contacted me to say he had found a kit he had forgotten he had...and would I paint it for him. To be honest...I wasn't...

Not true mate...I just threw the ideas out there...and you made them your own...and a fine job you made of it :) Ron

Superb Grant...love the balance of tones/colours...and face is spot on to my eye (y) Great to see a piece from you mate...a rare treat :) Ron
