Here are some in-progress images of a 1:20 scale simple western bridle I’ve been working on.

      Thank you! I really love this scale and want to try to put together some good performance in this size, with a rider too. I have some 1/18 scale figures that may work with some modifications, though this size, you have to get things right to the millimeter for it to look right.

    Another view, with the curb strap installed as a test fit (before keepers and tongue trim). A challenging aspect of this bridle was getting the fit exactly right to fit the buckle above the eye and still have room for the ear piece to connect.

    It’s tiny! Here you can see the off side.

    The curb straps with keepers and buckles (figured I’d make an extra now while I was at it).

    T

    The two cheek pieces. The tooling effect was created just by drawing the pattern gently with this needle punch.

    The bridle is made of tooling calf and the hardware is from Rio Rondo.

    An image of the unassembled parts, a tool used, and the pattern piece.
