Amazon Queen in chariot

 

Actually finished both the queen and a 'line' chariot.

For the Queen's chariot I used Persian chariot horses. 

The plume is more impressive and it has reins moulded with the horse...
Also finished the line chariot. I'll make at least one other using the SS64 Dancing girl girl instead of SS61 Amazon Enchantress as the charioteer.

For reins I used something from a previous hobby - fly tying. There is a very useful range of materials to be found in the fly tying hobby! There is a wide range of tinsels available, for example from Veniard.  Been using their stuff for 60 years...

  1. Very nice indeed, good choice of horses for the queens chariot, they look suitably regal. As a dabbler in fly tying I have never thought of using any of the tinsels etc, will have to rake through my supplies to see what's there!!

    1. The tinsels have a lot of modelling uses.
