Well folks, we're off. My models are ready and waiting for sprue shots and initial painting.

All the best.

Firstly please let me apologize for my absence and lack of input over the last couple of weeks. Sarah has been seriously ill and in hospital and the docs still are not sure what is wrong. I will be starting my builds very soon though.

All the best.

Greg and I are now co-mods for the remainder of the build.

Just wanted to remind you that upon completion please post in the Painted Ponies gallery thread.

Cheers Jeff. And a heartfelt thanks for the messages guys. Sarah has been quite poorly but hopefully she is over the worst. She endured sixteen seizures in a one hour period (including four in the ambulance going to hospital) but they seem to have subsided now. Tests still ongoing but she's looking a lot better and is home but she still is not ok.

All the best.
