Hi Colin....many thanks for comments mate....horses are a particular challenge that I enjoy....just so many to choose from!

Hi Ron, Good to have you back in business. Beautiful piece. Which brand and scale is it?
Hope your recovery work out well.

Hi Yoshi.....many thanks for kind wishes and comments
It is the Bonapartes casting of Poste Militaires 90 mm original.

Regards

Ron

Hi Ron,
"Hope it was worth the wait!"

It certainly is worth the wait mate, outstanding finish. I love the aerial shots and the impact it gives to the rider and groundwork. The setting is a work of art in itself and very inspiring. Keep up the great work my friend.
cheers

Hello mate....first...a big thank you for all your support over the last few months....means a great deal to me

I am glad you think it was worth the wait....aerial shots were Anna's idea to show the horses head and markings better....smart a**e ...very pleased with the setting....as it portrays him at his best IMHO

Talk soon mate

Ron

Glad you are painting again and what a stunning piece. Best wishes for a full recovery

Isn't that always the case, that they know best.

Many thanks Graham for comments and kind wishes

Ron

Excellent work and welcome back.

Mate...she slays me sometimes ...just to add insult to injury....if you look at the 7th pic from the left...there appears to be a crack just above the fetlock on the rear leg of the horse
Madam has a look....grabs a pair of tweezers....and removes a stray hair

Many thanks Marc....much appreciated mate

Ron

A beautiful piece Ron, welcome back to the front line

Ron. This is a pure 'Master-class', of a piece. Dare I say one of your best. ( Considering you hate 'white metal') The painting the setting ! everything just smacks of the highest quality. there is so much to look at. Excellent work in every way.

I think I will use this as a screen saver!

High regards,

Mark.

Not sure how I missed this previously Ron - beautifully done. I've still got my old version (now a bit battered) in a box in the loft. Yours makes me want to get it out and resurrect it.

Cheers

Paul

ps - I do remember how heavy it is and how I never quite grasped how Ray managed to combine the delicacy of the detail with the weight of the thing

Cheers Billy....nice one mate

Ron

Hi Mark....many thanks for your support through my rough patch

Very pleased you like the finished result....and yes...I too think it is by far one of my best

Very best to you both mate

Ron

Well...it was a fair while back mate .....it won't be going on a glass shelf in the cabinet that's for sure....exquisite detail throughout the whole casting helps to spur you on to give it your best.....
Hope you do have another go at yours mate

Ron

A classic that I believe was first released 40 years ago this summer (or winter if in Southern climes)

Cheers

Many thanks for comment.....and Ray's work is still some of the best around...even by today's standards IMHO
