Kaspersky anti-virus does not like 261a.

I'm not looking at any others.

Need to do some serious cleanup on those files, Druzhina!

Ah, much better.

scale shirts over robes or loose trousers, on unarmored horses…

Interesting, but I still need to figure out how to paint lots of horses quickly.

Druzhina13 Oct 2012 11:15 p.m. PST

There is 1 armoured horse.
I would expect this would belong to an important person (which are usually painted larger than others) but this is only a small figure.
