Default my first ride

hey guys, no it's not a car... my mom was given this pony for christmas... 1929...

I can't begin to tell you the mile's i burned up.. nor the hours of chasing the badguys... it rocked... still does.. the miracle of grease and clean ball bearings..

the paints not good.. i'm not a painter.. i did ok and plan on some touchup...



i'm working on the mane and tail currently... idea's for materials came from my daughter.. so I bought a couple hair extensions...



i was trying to complete it before christmas... would'a been cool to wrap it an give it to Mom for christams all over again.. except she's alittle older now..

the body of the horse is made up of carved block... where they are placed together area's are loose and the body really should be taken apart and refitted... so, i'm kind of looking for someone who maybe skilled enough.. after the paint had dried I put a test pilot on for a ride... the loose area's showed up and you can now see some separation...
