                        That is very cool Karl. Seriuosly, you are one thoughtful guy. Remind me to never let my wife read a post that has the words "Doog and Jenn' in the same sentance. I'll never get any peace..."Howz come you don't do that for me..."  AAAAGHHH!!!!.....Big Smile [:D]

                        Yes, these are 1/72 Preisser Horses. Thye look to me to be a direct copy of Historex's 1/32 Horse line--I've built over a dozen of those for Jenn over the years. They're nice kits, and these tiny ones are just as sweet.

                        The Leopard too, is quite a sweet little kit. I'll post a few close shots of it when I do the final detailing.

                        Cool...gotta get some of those 1/72 horses...the work on the black and white one is exceptional and would pass for 35th scale...

                        Nice work there Karl. It is very touching that you make so many of your dios for your better half.

                        Very cool...sweet painting of the BIG Doogs!!! Are those Prieser horses? Very sweet little dio...most all of those DML 1/72 tank offerings that I have worked with have been amazing in terms of detail and fit...some of their 1/72 stuff rivals some companies' 1/35 offerings in terms of detail!!!

                        haha no that's understandable. One of my WIPs started to get to the point where I was like- painted this! *photograph/post* and now this! *photograph/post*

                        Wasn’t aware you already had the pics up! Thanks for the links, I’ll check them out.

                        Hi guys!

                        Been a while since I've done a dio over here. Nothing fancy this time around; just a small dio for Jenn to lift her spirits while she's majorly stressed-out from Pre-Med college courses. The Organic Chemistry and Calculus are killing her time, so I thought I'd build her something to make her smile.

                        Ever since we went to Wolfhagen last year and crawled around in the Leopard 2A6's there.....

                        .....I promised her that I'd build her a Leopard to commemorate it--she thought the tank was just amazing. I was in heaven! Tongue [:P]

                        So here's the work so far....the base is not finished yet; still some painting to do...

                        ...of course, it has horses--"big doogs" to Jenn...Wink [;)]

                        ...and the general layout....

                        I'm waiting on a 1/72 figure of a civilian girl to come in, so I can put it in the turret there. That model, by the way, is a DML 1/72 Leopard 2A6--a nice litttle kit, I must say. Painted in Tamiya acrylics.

                        More pics when I get some more work done! Big Smile [:D]
