Some advice/thoughts (1 Viewer)

[thebritfarmer]

I am wondering if anyone can help me with a slight problem that I have. I have the Britians Irish State coach, the horse do not have a base and keeping them stood up is a task. The set was poorly designed and was a problem amongst collectors.

I want to add a small base to each of the horses to add stability to them so I can connect them all up to the coach (currently they reside in a drawer).
Can anyone recommend :

a) the best type of material to use as a base (I believe the horses are pewter)
b)the best means of fixing them to the base.
c) the hooves are painted (should I scrape off the paint on the contact points?)

Cheers

Scott

Hi Scott,

I think you should contact Susan Leicht here on the forum and see what her rates are to do something like this. There are other folks here who regularly tackle this sort of problem so others may offer good advice too but unless you are really into doing it yourself I would try her first.

All the best
