Hi Ron
Take no notice of Peter and John. We all know the Invisible Man is real so why not the Invisible Horse. Maybe it isn't invisible, just well camouflaged.

Ron,
Great work but I have noticed a couple of smart arses moving in on this thread :smiling3:

Paul, now we just need one more for a full house!.... ;);)
I'm glad you approve of my attempt to paint farmer Brown too.


I've just finished Kolinski and the French broad. I need to do something with her hair me thinks!

They are widening their search for the 'missing' necklace.

"Kolinsky, get your ass back here - NOW!..or so help me I'll get you court marshalled, you oversexed son of a bitch!"

"Aw, sir, I'm only trying to cement International Relations." Came a gasping voice from the rubble.

That concludes all the human figures I will be using.
Next up I'll paint the two horses. I've found a gorgeous picture of one which I'm going to have a crack at painting. The remaining one will probably have to stay a straight forward brown. - Bless!

Cheers all.

Nice one Rick, I hope so too!.... :flushed:

I've made a start on the horses. I've kept the plastic mane and tail. Reasoning any additional hair would make them both too bulky and I didn't want to risk any damage grinding the plastic off.

This first horse is a breed I spotted called Appaloosa. Brush painted in Vallejo Air acrylics, it was a pig to do!
The final one will be a straight forward brown....

This is a truer colour of how the horse turned out.

Still a little bit of work to do. Mainly applying a second coat to tidy up the harness.

I hope you approve of my 'Neddy'

Cheers.

Hi Ron
Horsey looks good. Leaving the mane and tail as is was the best call. Poor, plain brown horsey 2 is gonna feel quite inferior next to this colourful equine.

Old Nag, Dobbin! - A bit of respect, if you don't mind for an exceptional breed of horse.....Forget the painting of the plastic!

Your Servant.

Alright mate.....just ‘horsing around’ :smiling5:

See what I did there:smiling5: I’ll get me coat!
 
Great work on the Ap. One would think it a rare breed in that part of the world...Quite a favorite of our American Indians and lots of others here in Montana. Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks for the great posts fellas.... :thumb2:

One would think it a rare breed in that part of the world...

Rick, before hostilities began in France, Prof. Smarta**e taxi driver had shipped over a pair of Appaloosas from the States and had started a breeding program on his farm just outside Foucarville, which proved to be very successful...... so there. :tongue-out3:
 
Great stonework and sluice gate Ron. :thumb2:

"In any case, this was built in the days when people were expected to use common sense, not like the modern day Mamby Pamby "Sue 'em, it wasn't safe." culture." :tears-of-joy:

Cheers,
Richard
