Sorry Mark, the rocking horse is already spoken for! My granddaughters always make a b-line to it when they come down to us. As an aside, I put copies of the Daily Mirror and the Swanage Advertiser inside it when I sealed up the "belly", so it has also become a time capsule!

I'm not surprised - it's a wonderful piece. I'm sure that the newspapers will never be found !!

Thanks Mark, a lot of it is down to a lot of patience rather than skill! You would be amazed at how many times I have made something only to scrap it and start again as it was wrong! Thats why I prefer scratch building, as you can do that technique, whereas Bizzie is very demanding and does not suffer mistakes gladly. I take my hat to those who are producing superb models of the Bissie, only wish my eyesight was as good as it was ten years ago!!
