Hmmm, are you suggesting some sort of base with the Band of the Hawk emblem? It would be pretty neat except Joa already did it with his nice Caska. May be I’ll make the cliff higher and put some splashing waves underneath the cliff… I’m kidding but it doesn’t sound too bad 😀

I’m sure I can get it from my local hardware store. I played with Durham’s water putty but have no idea how the wood type differs. I mostly used plaster because I had some leftover, but now the top is too heavy and the cliff is tipping over with the horse on top. Yikes… From my experience the water putty is much lighter and might have been a better option. Or the wood putty if it’s also light (and cheap).

i did want to mention you might want to pick up durham’s wood putty(don’t know if you can get that where you are, but i’m sure if youlook online…). with the putty you can pour it all at once and once it’s dry it’s dry, it wont take forever like plaster of paris. i’ve used it to fill vinyl kits before because plaster has a tendency to sweat if you pour it too thick.

In military terms, a monument to a great warrior usually shows the horse rearing up with the rider’s sword drawn if the hero died in battle. I don’t know if a monument base is in order, but it’s generally an accepted protocol. Just a thought…

For all their glory, they had such a limited production run, which is a real shame. I like the duo’s designs better before the monsters started appearing; their new armors have way too elaborate armor that didn’t look to medieval.

Anyway here’s crossing fingers that I won’t drop the project mid-way 🙂

This is going to be so interesting to follow 🙂
