Steve,
The dappling on the horse looks just right to me.

Horses eyes finished, tongue and teeth painted along with the bridle. Trumpeters's face has also been painted, just a couple of touch ups around the reigns.

Hi Steve
It's stunning. Really well done. The horse's eyes are so alive.

Some outstanding work on display there. In the full frame shot of the horses head it looks almost real.

Very well done.

Wasnt happy at all with the lace work. might be as i had painted the lace area red after misunderstanding 'reverse' uniform. tried painted blue over the top and then added on the lace - gold, which wasnt correct either. so a total cock up;



I had heard on a message chat that Mr muscle oven cleaner will remove oil paint from resin, so he was sprayed and left for 30 minutes and this was removed with a toothbrush and warm water. this removed about 85%, so a couple more coatings of the spray and a clean down and it was 99.99% clear of the oil paint, ready for round 2;

Thant's some determination Steve, good for you.

Think the pain was worth it !
