    Warning : Heresy alert .....I sometimes worry about certain elements of this sculptor's larger scale work
    and his preponderance for unlikely long arms and legs, but this one looks to be an absolutely must have.
    Crikey...what a gem !

    I loved this at Euro and I can assure folks that the proportions and dynamism are fabulous. It's definitely one I'll buy once I've got a couple more horses under my belt (which was the only reason I didn't snap it up at the time)

    Wow !!!

    Thank you all so much. I knew its a cracking piece but its summer !!! All orders are shipped and I will be remoulding the kit soon.

    I have just put a few kits on the site, but am not casting again till the heat subsides a bit, 30degrees is too hot to cast !!!

    Many thanks again

    Just picked up my copy at the post office. Great work, good details, only 'remark' is it will take some time to do the cleanup because of the casting process you use (pressure casting, I presume?) - but, hey, that's part of the hobby, is it not?
    Hope the heat drops soon, so you can get back to casting your marvelous work for us to enjoy.

    Many thanks.

    All kits are vac cast but I just do it a bit differently. Fast cast resins have a pot life of 2 min 30seconds at 21degrees C so at 30 degrees its a joke. My slower resin is not liking it either and is running like a fast cast so not great. Its like running in this heat wearing a mask !!!

    It will settle soon and back to normal

    Cheers
