Hi Alan. Coming on great there, I like the horsey. Everytime you add another piece of the detail I go scurrying off to check if my little drastic plastic version has it on as well! Just checked and yes she does, although in my case the horse and rider are moulded in two halves on the main hull sides and the entire thing will fit over just the Queen's head on the penny!  I have to admit, for it's age that Revell kit is quite well detailed, it's going to be fun converting her into a mini-me of yours one day! Keep up the great work, I'm noting it all down for later!!

Robin Thanks Robin, keep watching over the next couple of weeks as the figurehead also has a rider (knight) on the horse plus four knights being trampled on under the horse..... Should be quite a spectacle when put together..... Will be following you diary of the mini SOTS when you get going..... Regards Alan

Nice work Alan, you mention the knights being trampled by the horse, I don't see these on the pics on the website - thought Id take a look as Id not noticed them, do you have these parts already? Steve

Steve Thanks Stevie, what you see on the website does differ to the actual build in many ways, the figurehead just being one of them.... Haven't got all the figures yet, these will come over the next couple of issues. However, just for you here is what I believe will turn out to be the completed figurehead which I think is stunning.....  Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Finished the horse and rider plus one of the laid down figures... Rider was made up as per the instructions and attached to the horse.. Next I filled all the joints using modellers putty, sanding smooth when dry and applied another coat of undercoat... While that was drying moved onto carrying out the same action on the laid down figure... watch closely on this figure, the head should be fitted looking to the left, this is not mentioned on the instructions but if you look at the picture on the mag it becomes clear.... the head can be fitted looking straight on..... .. Gave both figures two coats of metallic gold and finally a coat of gloss clear cote varnish..... Now moving on to making up the bowsprit pulpit and hope to have this finished tomorrow..... Happy building all.... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Hi Alan! Looking really great there, its certainly going to be a very detailed figurehead! I checked the tiddler, she's got the horse and rider all right but its moulded on just a sort of shaggy grass base. In that scale I might get away with a few arms and legs sticking out of the foliage (like the Grand National!) Keep them coming!

Maybe if your horse was to eat the green foliage it just might grow a little bit bigger..... Regards Alan

Hi Alan, it's a shame when this happens but I'm sure you will be back at this one soon - at least you have plenty to get on with in the meantime Steve
