Hi all

many thanks for the great comments guys, its very much appreciated


OK I know I said that I wouldn't change the head on the horse,................but im weak and I couldn't help it .......and a big boy did it and ran away ...........im getting help, im going to converters anonymous









Ive also found the wood for the base, this is a bit of Bur Oak finished and waxed





And thinking of the scenery I made a tree








Ill be starting on the base work so that the parts can be fitted in situ


Paul

[Leon]

Paul,this shaping up nicely mate.Really like the base you picked for this.

[deafpanzer]

Catching up... drool is EVERY WHERE now! Tree stump looks great... what did you use to make it?

[wbill76]

Nice little modification to the horse's posture, adds some character for sure! As for the stump, is it just me or does it look like it needs a hug?

[Paul P.]

Thanks Leon, yeah its a nice bit of wood, I have a few more bits left over as well

Andy I take it yr drooling because your jaw is still loose , the tree is made from sculpy putty, I thought it was quite tolkin esk

Nice new head, Paul. I was sure you couldn't help it, you had to change it

It's the Return of Lazy Dood! He looks like he's enjoying his rest far too much lately there Paul, have to keep him on his toes!

[Paul P.]

Hi all, just a quick update, ive put Boudicca on hold as we are moving house at the end of the month, I already have me desk made up in the new cave and shelving is going up tomorrow, tinternet is all sorted and sky so the really important things are ready, so I should be able to get cracking with it again in the first weeks of Feb.

Paul

[Paul P.]

One great thing when you rent Dicky mate, is that you can get the keys to the property before you move in, especially as I know the estate manager, so I can get it all decorated and carpeted before we move in........simples

Paul

[Paul P.]

Yeah shame the rent isn't paid annually

[Paul P.]

.well I thought it was funny, Karen did smile but I had this shiver when she did

Paul

[thenylongag]

Paul

I have been following but haven't commented because words fail me.

I am in awe of your talent sir

Gag

[Paul P.]

jackwagon i think its a natural thing they all have

Gag cheers matey

[bullardino]

LOL. Paul I think we male have just one kind of silence, women have an infinite array of silences. Way out of my small brain's ability.

[macmcconnell.]

Amazing stuff

[Paul P.]

Hi all. seems liken age since i posted on this blog, so after another move and what appears to feel like an eternity of decorating ive been allowed by SWMBO to get back to the important things.............THE BENCH .

A couple of pics of the new work area complete with a new desk







then back onto the other horse, ive re done the harness and then primed the whole thing, there are a few bits that want filling but other than that its ready to be painted






and just a couple of pics to show how it looks with its partner










The only other thing is to decide whether to paint it as a pie bald or the same as its mate, i had thought that i would paint it a pie bald but SWMBO thinks it would be better if they were the same, a matched pair so to speak, so some thoughts from you guys would be a help
