Greetings fellow Modelers!

This kit has been a real change of pace for me, as well as a modeling first - it's the first time I attempted to paint horses. The kit is OOTB except for the reins which are foil.

I'm not a figure painter either but I am happy with how the driver came out. I used MM enamels, Liquitex inks for washes, and pastel powders for some light weathering.

I used a small plaque for the base with some painted railroad sand for the grass and the dirt road. Definately something different for me! A real "softskin" ...

Commnts and critques always welcome.

Thanks for lookin and happy modeling!!

Mark

I think it looks very nice. The wheels look great. The ground work is simple and well done. I have never painted a horse but I think you did a fine job. If I had to critique one thing the ladle looks a little too shiny, perhaps weather it down a bit? I have had this kit in my stash since the late 80"s...... It's still there.

I like it. I too have one in waiting. I like a dapple grey horse. I've painted a couple of those. As far as that ladle goes you could always fudge a little a say the cook just picked up a brand new one at the supply depot. Or weather it down either one. I have an old Historex catalog with horse painting tips included in it. It suggests for the horse eyes start with a small circle of orange color, then over paint the orange with a brown color leaving a very small rim of orange showing and last put a dot of black for the pupil. Of course you would actually paint the white part of the eye first. The eyes really look better doing them this way.

Oh wow that's sharp work. I wish I could do horses and figures one-tenth as well!
