Sculptor needed

Ok I have a serious problem. I have recently painted this model from freebooter miniatures :

as you might notice, he has a shield. I lost his shield. I don't know where or when I did, but it got lost somewhere and I really can't find it. Now I have a fully painted model standing here without a shield, and I feel pretty retarded, especially because it is one of my best models as of yet. I want to take it to painting competitions but it's still wip without the shield.

So here is my question: can any one of you sculpt me a hobby-horse to attach to the empty hand?
kinda like this :

he also has one lying on his precast base, but I didn't use that. I attached the hand in such a way that the strap to hold the shield is vertical, so it would be like the hobby horse is hanging from it.

Of course I will pay for this, and packaging, and posting. It's not very urgent, but if someone here who is more gifted with the green stuff could squeeze it in their schedual I would be most grateful.

cheers,

Jasper

Don't wanna scare you but I think this is one pretty simple thing to do it yourself - just cut out the horse head out of piece of plasticard and attach it to a metal rod. I simply think, that you coul do it very well, without the necessit of "outsourcing" (a very popular word lately

).

maybe it would be much easier to scratch-build another wooden shield?
I mean two small pieces of wood + paper clip should work just fine

making it myself just out of plasticard is gonna look pretty ugly :/ and it wouldn't do the model justice imho. I really want a horsehead with some volume to it.

so you want something closer to the thing thats on the base than the wodden one you showed in your example pic....? (because you said "more volume" )

yeah indeed, I put the example picture in there because I thought nobody would know what a hobby horse is

here is the model as I painted it btw :

please keep in mind that this is an extreme close-up, the model is as big as a piece of 10 eurocents. as you can see the arm is positioned in such a way that a hobby horse could be hanging from the strap in her right hand. ( yeah I believe it's a little girl, I call her jeanne d'arc jr.)

ok the difficult part will be getting scale right though

I can always give the measurements of the horsey on the base
