Hello!

[SeaTheStars_93]

Hello, nice to be here!

My name is Leo, I'm fairly new to "properly" engaging with the hobby (previous experience is mostly just the occasional Airfix/similar model plane kits).

I tend to focus on cavalry tack, any era/country at all, I love to see how both the actual equipment and the various roles horses/mules/etc. have played has developed over the millennia! I largely restrict my work to 1:9 scale as that's the smallest I can comfortably work at due to a couple of old work injuries that occasionally like to make life a little difficult. Luckily, it appears to be the most popular scale for miniature buckles and such to be produced!

Anyhow, its great to be here! I'll try and engage as much as I can but you know how life can get!

Thank you!
Leo
