Hi Mike
A warm welcome to a great forum. Some great models there, the rigging alone is a big job. I like the horse drawn ambulance in particular.

Mike,
welcome to the forum! Love your ambulance - I suppose adding reins etc was childs' play after rigging your frigate/corvette? ( Constellation? ). Of late we seem to be attracting more & more ship modellers ( I used to frequent ships of scale, but it was a bit too specialist for me ).

Thanks Dave ya the Rattlesnake was a tough rigging job, the build took me 7 years , ok I did not work on her every day, the ship very little space to work within , it got to the point that just doing a few lines required about a days prep just to figure out how to get them in the right place, drove me nuts . The Mule rigging was very much a learning experience, as was painting them luckily for me I received some great research material from the US Army veterinary Museum, who also run a nice piece on this build. By the way the Ambulance was built to honor my Grandfather who was a wagoner during the Serbia AEF 1919
