Nice work!
My wife has miniature ponies, I finished making this for her yesterday. I only have to add some driving lights and some other small things plus a wet sand and buff. But thankfully it's done. It was my first real go at making something out of aluminium. I didn't use SPI unfortunately, I didn't want to cut myself short on what SPI I already have for my Mustang as it took me so long to get it sent here. But I used the same types of paint from DeBeers. Epoxy, high fill, and single stage, to practice the processes for my car.

Thanks very much guys!
SOF, the rear brake I made up from some Honda XR650 calipers as I already had one so found a second. I brought some discs off ebay and machined up the pieces to fix them to the hubs. The flexible lines and pedal are from a Ford Falcon, the hard line is too but I cut it down, bent it and flared the ends to suit.
Curt, that's exactly what our farrier says when he is shoeing the ponies. He doesn't mind doing it, which is hard to find in a farrier, but he says they take at least twice as long to do as a normal horse.
Here's they are going for a test run in it. You can see they are only little.

Curt your carriages look great! What would that big one have been used for? Do you know the name is for skirt that keeps the mud off your feet on the black one?
Ash, your carriage turned out great to. Those ponies are great looking, I'll bet they are a hoot!

The big one is a tour carriage, when my grandfather was living we used to build them for some of the tour companies in Charleston sc and a few other places. I repaired that one in 2000. As far as I know its called a apron. I didn't know back then how good I had it working with family, its shure different when you have to make all the decisions.
