That's looking really nice Like the way the horse has turned out , not overworked and nicely shaded .

The sabre is sitting very naturally

I like the look of the uniform particularly the headwear ........what would have the helmet been like a cuirassier ?

Thanks for sharing

Finally working on these flag...what a pain!

 

[Nap]

Hi Daniel

Might be a pain but it's going to get easier as it progresses ...hopefully

You love the challenge I am sure ...it's very careful work and clean and accurate painting

Will the actual flag be hanging folded naturally as he's in a in a static pose ?

Looking forward to seeing this progress

It will be in a static pose , waving simce the areas where the Coraceros fougjt is well known for some pretty heavy winds .

Trying the standart pole, half of it is metal wire, the bottom half is a toothpick sanded to the diameter of the too pole, reason being is that the toothpick did not have the required lenght , so i had to improvise on that.

Hi Daniel

Looking the part now ...that flag looks great ...must be really strong winds to blow the flag

Following ..of course !!
