It's looking great. Will be interesting to see it with paint on.

A query about the horses - you mentioned inserting a filler between both halves. Just the width of the base Historex supply or wider? I use a 10 thou spacer for heavy cavalry horses.

Cheers

Great to see all those fine precision parts coming together....just so good, those mouldings. Some ticklish corners for the brush to reach

Quite simple really one is octagonal in shape (Historex base) and the other can be in any shape...

I think a Historex base is slightly wider by about 5-10 thou. If anyone has a micrometer (that measures small gaps, thicknesses etc Paul and isn't anything to do with drinking or being naughty) to measure it that might be interesting.

God I've become a real saddo!!!

Cheers
