Arr. I always just assumed that I'd do them with normal minifig horses... but
you're right, they would be out of scale. Oh, well.

Not I. To be honest, though, to get horses that are at the scale and level of
detail that the rest of your San Marco is would be really rough.

Hmmm. The only picture I have online of the basilica itself is the one I
posted earlier. I have a picture from inside the cortile of the palazza ducale
that shows the domes...

but that's it. I'm sure that somewhere I probably have a guidebook to the
basilica, but since I don't own a scanner that does no one any good, I'm
afraid.
Maybe someone in the loc.it groups would be able to help out?
But what another poster said is absolutely true- even in flat white, the model
is absolutely stunning.
