Month-ends and productivity at whichever bench are, as a matter of course, mutually exclusive, but one must try to make the best of it. . .
To this end, I decided to focus on the heel spurs (parts #44 & 48). These are an interesting accessory that, in all honesty, could just as easily be left off if they seem a bit "too much". I personally applaud the decision to include them!
My reservation regards their orientation. As provided, they are "pointing" up, as one would expect with equestrian spurs. But our subject is hardly evocative of a HEAVY cavalryman! Admittedly, he could be riding some fantastic steed, but I'm sticking to the canon of his name. Thus, I simply reversed the orientation of the spurs so that they now point downward, making them an effective tertiary weapon. Attaching the left spur was simply a matter flipping the part -- easy peasy. The right one will require a bit of trimming of the peg, and then subsequent filling, but nothing to fret over.
Movin' right along. . .
