1/72 MODELLTRANS-8 SS Kav.Div. Florian Geyer(Img&Link Review
Posted by Panzer_Grenadire on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 6:05 AM

Due to the fact that one of my favourite topics is the horse within WWII German Army, I intended to celebrate the launch of my website with this review.
However, because painting of two standard figs and horses and two other conversions took me much more, I had to delay it. For painting the horses I used a special method very time-consuming, using matt enamel in very thin layers butand before getting dry, polished with a brush in order to obtain a little shine appearance for better depicting the real horse skin. Likwise artistic oils were also used for both figs and animals.
The standard poses were painted in Oak-leaf camo and the conversions in Plane-tree. For conversions I used Preiser parts and to all horses I added reins from OBGrigoriev metal strips.
If interested, here there is the link to a review that I wanted to be special and it is accompanied by a much, much more images than the few posted here, some of them quite interesting... Surprise

I think this thread worth visiting and I hope you will enjoy it.

WOW!!! I don,t see how you can paint such tiny details in figures at 1/72 scale. You have done a fantastic job with the colors!Beer

Warm thanks and I would like to join you in your request, definitely the WWII horses topic is extremely poor depicted though it involved the largest number of horses ever encountered in a war...Wink
