Holger Eriksson....
Yup the best horses ever sculpted.
...unlike Mathew Bickleys Boot Hill ones, which look more like rocking horses than real ones! (Although as my sculpting skills don't go past creating a giant tick for Frostgrave GA I probably shouldn't comment
).
His Uxbridge (Horse) looks much better though.

Speaking as Matt’s father, “No, you probably shouldn’t.” Frankly I’m sick of folk on the web who criticize but can’t do better! Figures, rules, magazines! It’s all the same. If you took down all the negative stuff there’d be hardly anything on some boards I could name.

However, if people are spending money on a product that probably does give them to right to comment. Whilst I happily spend money on the Boot Hill figures on foot and have encouraged others to do so I avoid the mounted figures because I don't think the horses are up to the standard of the humans.

I’ve bought Boot Hill mounted figures, does that give me the right to comment?
As I said, the humans are excellent but the horses are poor and I wouldn’t buy more. The rocking horse description is fair.
But the Uxbridge horse looks very good and it suggests that if Matt’s sculpting more mounted ranges then I may not need to worry about buying those.

That’s the wonderful thing about a free market economy. If you’re going to charge someone for goods or a service, they will critique it. Better get used to it or stop selling stuff.
The argument as to whether I could do better or not is irrelevant as I’m not selling anything. As a consumer, paying money for something, I have a right to have an opinion on it.
Oh, and my personal view on the horses is non-existant as I haven’t seen them.

Of course you all have the right to an opinion. What you don’t have is the right to have anyone agree with it or take any notice of it, any more than I do of course. You caught me on a bad day.
But, I go by the guide in a local store- If we please you tell others, if we don’t tell us.

Totally understand that you would want to stick up for your sons work, but then the Perrys casters and Paul Hicks have parents too
Matts foot figures are excellent and i'll certainly be buying more of those so i'll leave it at that

How on earth did that quote get attributed to me??? Mods, something up with the software here?

I think it was because your actual quote got manually removed from the overall quote from me. But the Markers for your quote didn't. Although it looks like your quote it's actually mine with an empty one from you within it...phew!

Maybe Andy just hard wired the board so Henry takes responsibility for all our naughtiness. I'd be quite worried about that if I were you.
