Default A man and his Mules

Started this in Dec, and just finished the first phase, now to mount them, I'm seeing a cliff with a trail and a gold mine at the bottom. Just need the right piece of wood to carve a cliff.

Good carving with a mine that big you might need another cowboy or two for look-out.

That is a nice set of mini-mules. They look quite small, how big are they? This would make a great present for a child.

Nice work Mike. Minatures can be a bit tedious at times but looks like you mastered them real well. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the scene.
