Nice horse, got to have an English Bulldog on French diorama! What you did with the trumpet is insane, damn good but insane. I thought about doing the same with a Historex trumpet and chickened out.

Cheers Simon

I was intrigue about the Breed of this dog, and found out it is a bull terrier.
I think i will paint in this color.

Glued the figure onto the horse and built the tails with a mix of Magic sculpt and greenstuff , about 70/30 ratio.
I've placed the vertical pockets using lead foil which i glued on the sides.
The figure is now under the care of a portable heater , that way i speed up the process for hardening the putty.

The choice of colour of the horse works really well with the figure.
Great work as always.

Great work on the coat tails, he sits totally convincingly on his mount, going to look great when painted.

Cheers Simon

I like the horse's pose, too. In the last photo, the way his head is cocked a little to his right, it looks very natural, looks naturally animated, just the way a horse will move or fidget while he's standing there and his rider does something. That looks great!

Prost!

Thanks Brad,
It was a bit of work to bend the metal and then fill the gaps, but i like the idea of giving these horses differrnt poses .
Best.

Finished the tails, sanded some areas and added the lace.
Added the pony tail of the wig and now waiting for the putty to harden bfore i prime it.

Meanwhile,
I am working on finishing this trumpet, big challenge to keep the metal parts glued together, added some putty o add in the process and then it will be sanded.
