Absolutely A+ bang-up job with King Brian there.

Jon ,
I didn't think it'd be your cup of tea. As its a bit rough and ready. So I based it up to colour in. I've pretty much remembered enough to build the three part horse's I need to. But colouring in helps point out the bits I don't know .
But if you really like the idea. Then I could probably fit in a better version and possibly a foot one too. At some point this spring ( Maybe before Partizan.)

Fram,
It's a bit off the mark as it was an impulse sculpt from me noggin rather than a planned one with reference pic's and what not. As I've said I may do a better version of Jon wants one.

Lovely, is it just me?? couldn't help thinking "To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe. . ." And now it's stuck in my head

Donstress over it Mark - I genuinely think he ace and the, alleged,  roughness just adds to his character - but I've only managed to paint your One Man Band for myself this year and 'unfortunately' that situation doesn't look like changing in the forseeable as I''m, thankfully (according to the bank manager and taxman),  fully booked with commission work.....

No worries Jon,
It is a little rough I've not back filled the underside or defined the Hands, stirrups,saddle pommel and lumbar are incomplete the reigns don't actually connect to the bit or the bridal.an so on🤫
 
I've a big push to do for myself and 1st Corps in time for Partizan. At the same time Some multi part horse's and some near future stuff. For a couple other companies. But I've cut my workload down for this half of the year.( Fed up with working till 1:30an to 2am and back up for seven.)

But just to make life interesting I've agreed to do a Barons war game.
So I've started doing a little reworking on my knackered Citadel plastic hills ( and the foam ones with the built in rocks.) Whilst waiting for the rules to arrive. Which they did overnight! 
The slightly embarrassing but I was worrying slightly about what buildings I'd need ( and how I was going to find the time to make them) So I opened up the book and braced for the scenery only to see a fair chunk of the display table was populated with my dark age stuff😂

Here's the large foam GW hill tweaked in my own peculiar fashion.
( Quick confession - totally forgot to take a before picture of the foam hill. So had to look for a stock image.)
I've the largest plastic hill ready for painting. The other foam hill and the smallest plastic hill are buried some where at the back of the workshop. So they'll have to wait until I'm feeling brave enough to dig through the piles of junk.

That’s a huge improvement on the original pieces! The rock formations look really good, enough variation in colour and texture to be interesting.

I agree. Those rocks are particularly brilliant. Great work! 👍

[carlos marighela]

Those rock!

Nice reminder for me to do something similar to mine, similarly buried in the what was to be my hobby room now subsumed as a storage dump.

Cheers Chaps,
I must admit they were surprisingly fun to do I've now all three of the larger hills done. But still not braved the chaos to find the remaining two. I think I may make a few extra terrain features .As I've a couple of odd bits of foam knocking about.
But on a slightly different note.
I was asked on Facebook if I'd ever made Helicopters. More over a WW2  one ?
Short answer is Yes. The Sikorsky R4 Hoverfly ( Uber easy in card.) . As they wanted to do Where Eagle's Dare. Unfortunately that helicopter is a post war 1950's one so I'd not bothered. But I had made a Felttner Hummingbird during lockdown.
Then it actually dawned on me . I'd not actually bothered with it. Just popped it in a snap top bag,and got on with something else. So this Saturday ( just gone.) I popped over to Simon and Micks to drop off a Civil war master. Took the Felttner with me . First thing mentioned was the Eagle has landed. So It's now going to turned into a kit.

Hah! Mark you mad bugger, that's perfect. Can't wait to see.

It's definitely heading towards the eccentric . As the main reason it ended up in a box .Was I've no idea. If the centre of gravity will be too far back . For it to be on the ground without it pulling a Wheely.
( I'm pretty sure it'll either work or it won't  )

Ah, the old 50-50 chance!

Given its size , layout and likely construction materials it'll be a bugger to add weight to if it's a tail sitter.
