Many thanks Andy, Hope you mopped up ok

Harry sorry mate i am overburdened with stuff to go to Telford, some for the show and some bits for some retailers, and a wife as well, SWMBO who stated catagorically that she wouldnt be coming to Telford has now gone to plan B..................shes coming . So i have to be on my best behaviour and not buy too many kits

Many thanks Francesco

Next stage was to fit the platform onto the chariot. it had leather ties that wrapped around the suspension straps so that the platform could be height adjusted

So the other wheel to do and then the yoke and pins

a couple of update pics after a great weekend at Telford, for some reason the lazy dude on the chariot decided to move position and now his left leg didn't sit right on the platform, so to sort this out ive made a sheepskin rug for him to sit on, ive also painted the horses butt on one side.

All for now, I should hopefully get some more done soon and get the first horse finished, ill then be able to get the other one sorted. I can see the finish line on this one now, its still a way off but at least im getting there

[Guest]

A bit inconsiderate the guy moving position Paul, hope you had a stern word

Looking very good, as per usual ...

[Guest]

What should I say more, I've already used all the adjectives I know in English.

Bravo!

[Guest]

Colin not only had a stern word but threatened to hand him over to the romans if he didn't behave, I don't know ya bring em into this world, dress em and look after them and what do they do................................MOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. very flaming inconsiderate

Cheers Francesco, if you have run out of adjectives just use some expletives ..........or just put some Italian adjectives on

Paul

[Andy2035]

I bet he moved on purpose just to get a bit more comfort and I guess you caved in and gave him the extra rug...

Great work as usual Sir...

Andy...

Cheers Ole, thanks for the comments

Had time today to finish the horse, one down one to go, perhaps a few bits to touch up later, but on the whole im pleased with it

There is the strappage to add but i can do that when hes attached to the chariot
