I've started work on the horse's tack for my Blue and Royals.
Boy, are there a lot of straps and reins!
Beginning at the nose I'm working backwards whittling bits as I go.
Some small wheels and axle make a decent bit.
The bit's curly flourishes came courtesy of this dolls house sofa.
Bit and curls together.
Old USB cabling turned out to be great for the many black straps on the neck.
... including this slightly wider one, which I stuck a goldish insignia too for the top of the horse's head.
A couple of metal charms from the Missus' drawers added a nice touch to some gold braid.
More to follow after a tomato cuppa soup [I've got a cold so my appetites off!].
You have been busy. Hope the cold does not last too long. Take care.
ReplyDeleteTa Paul. The cold is dragging I'm afraid. Another couple of days I reckon before humanity returns.
DeleteThis is amazing work, and at this point I'd call it virtually "Scratchbuilt"! SFZ
ReplyDeleteThanks SF. The horses tack was incredibly fiddly I must admit. Making the bit proved to be challenge. It kept coming apart! I bit off off more than I can chew!
