Hi Trev,  Looking really good. Don`t know if these would be close enough in scale or of an acceptable price, but they do horses in 1:9 scale and as an extra, harness sets as well. https://kulpmodelhorsest...com/1.9ScaleHorses.html

UPDATE:THE WINCH. Cutting and Soldering Hand Rails. To make two hand rails take the 0.2mm brass rod, cut two 85mm pieces then shape into 3 bends (8mm 21mm leaving 56mm length,now solder and clean up, when finished make one more to match the first. With the same 0.2mm rod make the central rail this is the one between the cushions, this one you have to adjust to the length of the winch box.  Brass rods ready to be Soldered.  Having fun.  This shows horizontal bar to be soldered.  This bar shows where the leather dust sheet will be stitched on.  Finished and painted Regards Trev.

Hi Trev You need to get a brass wire straightener. Will save you buying brass wire when its included in a kit.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/i...8a41:g:UuEAAOSwowddA5UU
From a previous thread you can see the results, as I have used it on 1.5mm wire as shown in post #6: https://forum.model-spac...spx?g=posts&t=23056
