Yo Troopers, getting vertigo being this high up the page lol, be kind to me you Matte guys. Got the Stadden Queens Own Hussars Drum horse at 8.45pm last night yes 8.45pm that's Ireland for you. I was totally stunned when I saw the size of it. (if you can't fight get a big horse) lol. Anyway it was superbly packed double boxed etc, but the plume still managed to get snapped off, flying Jeff over to fix it. Its a Chas Stadden original 1970s studio model, made of Pewter and has a Buckingham Pewter Hallmark under the plinth, weighs over 3 pounds and without the plinth stands 6" high x 5" nose to tail. The detail as you would expect from the master is just stunning like wise the painting. In the photo's you will see a Ducal QOH Drum horse which is larger than Britains horses so you can see how awesome a size it is.

Yes, Bernard's flying me over, all expenses paid!

Actually, I think Bernard has managed to fix it in place after our phone conversation of last night.

Yo Craig, yes its really special, and the story goes that Chas acutally finished these of himself, which is an added bonus, But being an ex Queens Own Hussar its the icing on the cake, and the only Drum Horse Chas Stadden ever made.
