English Civil War - Cavalry charge!
It may be tempting fate but we seem to be ahead of ourselves with the Christmas planning so a little modeling time this afternoon - refining the details on the horses: I am focussing on two aspects of the horses heads - the fist is to drill a hole through the sides of the mouth and inserting a...- Peter Gillson

ME?... a nature lover?... What ARE you thinking of?!!
Don't be disappointed if you don't see the hedgehogs using your hedgehog home, they have large ranges so may just use it as a stopping off place rather than a nest. i built three for our garden and only 1 is regularly used. a couple of weeks ago Tina found a little one by the roadside during...- Peter Gillson

English Civil War - Cavalry charge!
Houston we have a problem! as I started to work on the figures i found a problem which you can see from the photo: The castle Miniatures figures is a big 54mm figures - closer to 60mmrather than 54mm. This is irritating but not critical - I will have to sculpt 3 foot figures; which is not...- Peter Gillson

Hi guys i've done a little more on the figures but most effort has been on the saddles. Most of the saddles will be covered by the riders' buff coats but it is worth lsculpting the basic saddles since it will help with both the sit of the figures and getting the coats for fall correctly. A...- Peter Gillson

Thanks for the support guys. Using Magic sculp I have made basic saddles for each of the horses: i have kept them fairly basic becasue for most of them the buff coats will cover the saddle. However I decided to make a full saddle for my test horse: so that I do not get the saddles mixed...- Peter Gillson

The other weakness in the historex horses is surprising given the high level of details in the rest of their parts - the hair at the bottom of the legs, around the fetlock is pretty well none existent: I was wondering how to illustrate the way the hooves need to be detailed when I came across...- Peter Gillson

One thing with these major conversions is the time it takes for the putty to cure, so it makes sense to work on more than one horse at a time. Yesterday I started on one of the galloping horse, one with virtually no convirsion work to it - other than detailing. One of the great advantages of...- Peter Gillson

The two rear quarters need to be spread apart a little so filling with putty is needed, the pin is to connect it to the front parts: This part will donate the front quarter, leg and center sections: the other side was cut in a similar way, with them all put...- Peter Gillson
