The figure is really very nice
One could only regret the rather flat hair of the horse; but you can do nothing for that, it is the engraving
Roger thanks to associate me to Nick, but I have no responsability at all  in the result; it's all Nick !!

It's just a little joke with Nick Eric.  :)

Thank you all.

The hair does look slightly flat  (  this was Eric's department  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D )  but it may be just the photo with the light  ;)

With  the mane, I may try to curve the edge slightly, this could help, and darken the rear of the tail a bit more to pull it back

Overall I don't feel it's that bad an effort ;D ;D ;D

Now that's a brilliant idea, Wolfgang,  I'll get a pair of those 3D glasses from that nice Cinema company Miramax, that should help!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thank you Patrick, it is a great figure to paint, which makes it a lot easier.

It came out quite well, Nick. I actually like it better in the photo with the wooden backdrop.

Thank you, C.T.          Yes. I suppose it's because of the depth of the bookcase that you get the better 3D effect.

 the one disadvantage of putting flat figure's into frame's  :'(
