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

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.

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.

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
