Hi Louis,

I guess I am making slow progress. Juggling 3-4 dioramas is not easy but it does retain my focus.

I took some time to read about neck collars from Major Tylden's book and another horse carriage book. I think I understand the basics of draught horse harnessing sufficient enough to continue modelling this scene. Almost done with resizing and shaping the neck collars. I'll be adding the horse manes and other details before final details with the actual harness., bits and reins.

Hi Wolfgang,

Tx for yr kind comments. Here is the penultimate work on the first two horses. More sculpted details - notice the shortened right arm and different hand. All ptd in oils.

Decided that I need a bigger box for this scene. So I enlarged the base with more chicken wire and then coated it with wall putty.

Final detailing on the horses before another round of ptg. Besides scrapping off the errors, Ive resculpted the position of the nose bands, added some more musculature and also flared the nostrils and opened the mouth of one of the horses.

Hi Louis,

I hope so. Still on the job. Stained and varnished my 4 shadowboxes. A most unedifying task.

I repainted the horses and finished the enlarged base. This looks more promising.
