Edwin's progress and rug

[kits]

Edwin the vintage TB can just about stand up now - his leg wires were broken so I have been carefully slitting open his legs, replacing the wires and sealing them up with Milliput. No one's legs should do this!



Not all his legs are complete yet though and his Milliput patches will need repainting. I think his original mane and tail suit him despite being very wispy but I *might* still replace them - I've not decided yet. In the mean time he has a new rug and headcollar and some of the other Julips support him on the shelf

He's got such a cute face! I've just been milliputting some legs too - it's obviously the day for it

Nice work on the reconstructive surgery.

He's so handsome Kits! What is it about these vintage boys, they're gorgeous! Brilliant job with the rewiring and that rug is fantastic, it looks so realistic!

Thank you guys I love his gentle old face, he almost entered the spares class with a matching mare of Stacey's at the Lakes show (but then Elli and I remembered we both had our Bob portraits and needed to enter them) and they looked so sweet together!

Oh yes - sorry again, Stacey! The two Bobs should never have been trusted on the table together anyway.

P.S. looking back at your original post for Edwin, Kits, maybe you should have used your Julip wheels idea yourself to test it out?

He'd need such big wheels though, he'd look like a penny farthing bicycle - the Pit Pony is much more suited to being rear-wheel drive

Let's hope Jan's not drinking again when she reads that

Wouldn't that be a Pony Farthing then?

I just spat tea all over my phone!
Only joking, thankfully I was drinkless this time :-)
