    Hi folks

    Been working on the horse colour and details ....still stuff to do so will leave posting till its completed and mounted on the one off base that Pete Watson did ....a cracker

    Keeping this as a ref for the horse .....in particular the blaze

    Meanwhile been adding the LoH and ranking on the pelise and the straps on the sword etc......might have to rework them though also been basecoating the main figure ....made a nice change rather than look at a horse !!!!

    Keep at it Kev. I feel your pain, I still have 'Sail Away' sitting on the edge of my bench, alternatively mocking me and daring me to get on with it.. I'm happy enough with the basic colours and such, I'm just utterly stuck on finishing it, and as for Blond hair.....:woot:. Problem is, theres so many other models to build and paint. At least I dont have a 'shelf of shame'...
