Thx John. I enjoy refurbishing earlier projects whenever I see obvious areas for improvement. Rgds Victor

I took off the cover to clean the glass and thought about adding more highlights and shadows. Decided to do so and also tinted the overhead lighting. What I see s a significant difference in real life. The most obvious is Nap coat and horse, the brown horse in front and the dead soldier in...
