Live From the Workbench

Live From the Workbench 03-26-2012

I’m going to get back into weekly posting of this if it kills me! (Okay, maybe just maims…)

Anywho, I got a lots of horses mostly done since the last update, but I still haven’t polished off the details. I also got a new Work-in-Progress shelf build, so I’m going to be lazy and base updates off that for now.

Counting down from left to right…
