hi Steve and richi, oh im so confused , I cannot work out with one you mean, is it the smaller bay with the lite stirrup leathers, ?

Im glad you have said it, so we can get it sorted

as he has blue tack on both front feet ?

[monica]

hi Alasdair,thank you, im getting to them,thats the most scary bit so I leave till last

have made a start on them,

[Guest]

well only a small update, finished the horses and saddles, i think they turned out quite well, and making a start on the figures

any comments most welcome,

It's in picture #3, the lead horse, I can't tell if the right front leg is bent the wrong way, or if it's supposed to be in a kind of trot. Like I said, it may be my dodgy eyes and there's really nothing wrong at all. But if not, at least you can catch it before too much more work has gone on.

hi Steve, no not at all, glad you said some think,yes better to work it out, its like the trans, from a walk to a trot

1st pic top row second horse from right

pic No D shows what it is,when in fall transition,

I know not same angle shows it as well,

the movement may not be real right action but its close, what you think ?

I think I'm seeing it now. But yes, I agree, you may need to change up the rear leg to follow suit.

[monica]

maybe easier to change , foreleg at the knee ,just move it up a bit bottom row, far left 2, as the hind leg is out to much i think ?

come to thing off it 1st pic D would be the easiest to change ,oh my cannot make up my mind today

He's trying to scratch his belly! Nice work Monica

[monica]

ta Joe, i think so ,

well hears todays update, not a real lot, made changers to the base put in the roads, add some grass,sloped the bank was to up and down

alted the front leg and move it higher up so more of a walk to trot movement ,hope it looks ok Steve ? and thank you for picking it up

redid the insigne on the 2 cossacks, to red/blue on arm, and red/black on shoulders, sorry pics a bit arrrr

added radio wires, and the rain,bits to 2 off the mounts, o_O

Nice Moni,

really like this Dio.

as for suggestions (if you didn't think of it) maybe you could give the grass and bushes some different shades of green?, and some more different heights of the long grass. But knowing your building skills you have already thought of that, well I am sure that you did

Cheers Richi

[monica]

ta Richi, yes your right need to add a few diffidence highs ,just need to be carefully of placement

wish i could get my static grass lay down machine, to make it stand up , ,

mite drill some holes, in a bit off wood,about 1/8 or 1/4 and make some diffidence tuffs off grass,

ah some think just came to mind, helps talking about it, will be a surprise hope you like the idea,o_O
