Thanks Graham.
I need to matt the horse cloth,it's doing me head in shining at me

I thought it was silk

stunning painting Ralph how you get so much life and wear in his face is amazing,


the tail,looks great with the death of color,and either way the cloth on the horse looked good, to me,


looking to see how you do get the hoof color,looks like an earth as a base but maybe wrong,

For the hooves I used Vallejo WW1 Beige.

coming along very nicely,liking the look of the amour,do like the black,tone to it,
the cloth looks good,and like how your done the staining along the bottom,very nice progress so far,

Today I have been working on the figure's face and hair.
Also work on the horse tail, and parts I perceive to be metal, given a coat of silver(another coat needed).Also started on the base colour for the hooves.

Thanks for the lovely comments Ian.


Definitely much better matted down,trouble is it picked up my mistakes,but can easily be covered with a bit of dirt/dust.

I decided the chest armour was crap,so I tried something else and that was crap also.


So I have took a different approach and I'm going to leave it until tomorrow.

Well I had to go back a few steps ( catch up on the machine ) the suit of armour is just stunning and I wish really I could get metal finishes like that ( really is sublime


Now the horse the horse my kingdom for a hors..... I know enough!!


The horse is just stunning beyond belief ( I am really impressed with the life you bring to these figures


Outstanding work
