Knight in armour

I am planning to do a mounted Knight in armour. I had a leftover metal horse from an old Russian make (Joy's Toys about 25 years ago), the body looking very much like an Airfix George Washington mount. I had used the original head for another piece leaving it headless. Here, I have added a barded horse head and decided that the body was too short in relation to the legs. Hence the horse was cut in half, epoxied onto a base for stability and putty was added as filler.
