Okay, it's down-right ugly....

Its not ugly, just colorful!

Actually i think it looks rather cool and alot more useful than the molded ones.
I think if the colors were the same, it would look pretty good and i could
verify that if i wasnt sitting over 150 miles from my collection.
How is it duribility-wise, is it flimsy?
Good job on making a better horse.

If you drop it, it will break.  ;)

Also, if kids were to play with it with the usual gusto that goes with Lego I
wouldn't put money on it lasting too long.

However, it can be handled reasonably, and as seen in this view:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=515875

it holds it's pose quite well. As with any horse statuary, a minimum three-point
stand is necessary (one exception - a two-point statue outside the Hofburg,
Vienna).

I can imagine using some clear bricks to act as a stand underneath if someone
wanted to have a galloping pose.
