    Hi Steve

    Good start on the flesh

    Must say the casting on the pelisse looks really sharp ......personally I would probably fill the pupils in before painting

    Like the open mouth details

    The 3 together is certainly going to be so impressive

    Look forward to more

    Happy benchtime

    All 3 horse busts taken from above. there are some noticeable size differences between all 3 of them positioned like this, maybe when all at the correct display angles it will look okay. the flag bearers mount is a lot larger than burthes and the trumpeters.

    slowly slowly catchie monkey, or on this case the horses bridles. I will leave off the mouth "bit's" and reign attachments till the end. I know I will only knock them all off.
