Hi John, Yes. Stupid gold run, just like in the current banking situation....hahahaha. I redid the button and also improved the sculpt here and there. Then worked on the horse rigging.

Still shaping these horses.

Painted the gilt portions. Its very hard to control gilt paint. So the shapes have to be delineated with othere paint.

Added aiguilettes and now detailing as I work on this fig.

WIP to this stage. Mtd the fig onto a wooden base.

Gave him a nice bushy mousache. Started painting the fig.

Found this sculpted flat fig from many years. Its Vincent Van Gogh. about 30mm. Quite easy to sculpt. Not sure if I'll work further on it.
