Default Re: Foal proyect

Here is the colt finished.
I tought about painting it, but I just love the color and the lines of the wood itself and didn't want to hide it behind paint, at least not with so much cheap plastic figures around. i'll wait to another proyect to make experiments as this one already has owner too.

What I don't know yet is if to let it this way or if made a bessement to it. Suggestions?

That's a nice looking foal. A base with a straw bed might be a nice touch. "New foal arises", sort of thing.

That's really lovely - and you did it pretty quick too. I like the way it stands now, although I guess a base will protect the legs from damage in the years to come ...

He is beautiful. Eleanor is right, you should do a base to protect the legs.

The straw base is a great idea. I'm gonna do it

The foal is not big piece, about 8 cms high. I do not know why, but in the photos the legs seem to be a lot thicker than they really are.
