'A Tale of Two Horses' RDG Miniatures 1/9th Burthe and Trumpeter Bust

[JayCee]

Excellent painting, Steve. I have one little nit-pick though. Nothing to do with your painting, more the fault of the sculptor. The horse appears to have too many teeth. This is a common fault with sculpts of horses in all scales. There should be 6 teeth at the top and the same at the bottom. Sorry to be negative, I remember the dental work I had to do on the mounted figure of Salah ad Din.

slowly slowly catchie monkey, or on this case the horses bridle's. I will leave off the mouth "bit's" and reign attachments till the end. I know I will only knock them all off. Need to paint burthe's horses lips and teeth

Marvellous work, Steve. The studded bridle on Burthe's horse must have driven you cross-eyed.

Trying to find words to exclaim how good I think these are with out going to the swear box is really hard.
Amazing just dont do it.
Agree that the studded bridle would have driven most people to drink!

Outstanding!
