An unfinished scroll on the door that I started yesterday, need to line the scroll and around the horse as on the original now, was a bit tricky copying scrolls rather than doing my own. 

Manny Hughes pony...

A trotting pony I had to repaint for a friend, originally made and painted by sonny in southampton.




Started the shamfors on the wagon before it started raining so heavily!...then moved onto stuff I can do inside while the weather is bad, if it persists will have to chuck a tarp over the side as I did with the last wagon, could really do with a shed to be honest but beggars cant be choosers!  Painting shamfors is the bain of my life...it takes so long, much longer than lining or scrolling.  Its so comforting to be back at it though, I LOVE IT. more pics to come. 

ps. wheels are done on the other wagon and carving ready to be painted...roof still waiting to be recovered (if anyone can recommend the best linen or light canvas for this job then please do)

made a start on the famous five wagon...finally!
