Two more detail layers later and it was time to get the riders on their mounts and make ready for gloss coating. That was when the temperatures dropped below 6 Celsius which is too low to do the coating. So a delay happened. Meaning that the Oxford horse would not be done by April ...

Boy! That is a lot of figures to tackle at once.
The King will be very pleased with those reinforcements :-). That is a very impressive production line. After years of adding pikes after painting I have seen the light and am going to start attaching to figures before, like you have. The little protective flags look like a great health and safety idea!
Another of your impressive production lines David. I'm impressed how quickly you move them through. Mr Ford would be in awe!
