No problem, Marcel, I understand completely and knowing it's a resin copy helps. One of the things I do in the model horse hobby is customize. (I can't sculpt one from scratch yet either.) Because you already have a foundation, you can take an existing model whack off what you don't want and...

hehehe...I like that one Alex. Mine is similar, horses, miniatures, painting, painting miniatures of horses...oh and Taekwondo, writing, and computers.

Thank you so much, Marcel! I appreciate your kind words. We're just plugging away over here. :D I worked on the cloak some more today. I don't know why I did this but on the spur of the moment, I decided to highlight one more color but instead of going lighter, I went redder. lol! Most of the...

Hi Einion! The horse is gorgeous! Very nicely done. To answer your question the horses of the Russian steppes were (and still are) very small and stocky - closer to ponies, so the size in relation to the rider, is accurate. If I got really, really, really picky about this one I'd say that...

It's beautiful Roger! You did a fantastic job. I really like it. Don't worry about the leg, the paint work steals the show.

Okay - got some more work done tonight. Thank goodness tomorrow's Friday because I'm up too late again tonight. First, more work on the cloak - this time the back. I began the same way I did the inside - white gesso and a layer of light sienna. But this time instead of adding a second...

Marcel, May I make some comments on the horse? Your work is beautiful but I see a few things here and there that might help. I hope I'm not too late since I just caught this thread. Your horse is just a tad short in the back which is making the rider look a bit large for him. The head...

I'm about 4 hours from S.A. Unfortunately, I don't get out that direction very often. Most of my model horse shows are in the DFW area. But if I do go that way, I definitely want to check it out.

Yay another with a horse. But what is up with the horse's eyes and ears? His eyes are huge and placed too far forward on his head. His ears aren't placed correctly and the angle is also too far forward. There are other problems as well and are more than just conformation flaws. Conformation...

And continuing - here's the knight with two layers of Light Sienna. Notice how just one additional layer of this stuff tweaked it quite a bit to the green side. For some reason I hear Kermit singing...."It's not easy being green....." Moving right along. Here's the cloak after a...

Finally I get a chance to post some updates to my thread. I've been working on this guy but haven't had the chance to actually upload anything. So here we go with the catch-up. Because I'm applying pigments to paint and using the Colour Shaper, and because it's difficult to get in between the...
