I fixed the sabretache before painting , just a little idea of Paul Vincent's and redone the stirrup straps as per metal models , the bit and reins look like they will be a bit of a nightmare though

Hum... that may be a nice tip! The reins will indeed be problem... I've seen Paul Vincent do is own reins and buckles. Maybe is not worst to do that instead of use those bits of reins that come with kit.
