Superb progress Kevin.
Your brushwork on the horse is an absolute peach.
Looking forward to the trooper being united with his nag Mate.
All the very best,
Keith

Hi Kev, just caught up with this thread, I love this style of sculpting and the painting is well up to your usual standard the horse's face is so full of life. So, well done on the painting, and well done Andy on the sculpt.
Best wishes, Gary.

PS What with Mark's double entendres and the HORRIBLE image of Nap hanging off the back of a Tesco trolley in stockings and a nurses uniform.... wweeellll

Fantastic horse; looks almost alive. Leather goods also very well done. Looking forward to seeing the trooper.

Looks good Nap..........I don't know how to describe this guy..(character or exaggerated realism)..anyway,well done and can't wait to see when put together with the horse......Regards..................Wayne................( "Best Buddy")

Kevin, My friend this is looking a bit special Mate.
I think that you are really showing off now with your super skill at painting leathers of various shades..........Just a tad envious or plain jealous.
Eagerly awaiting the post that shows the trooper reunited with his mount.
Super work on the additions and painting.
All the best,
Keith

Cheers Guys,

Appreciate the comments .....

I am nearly all leathered out...DEFINATELY not showing off!

The horse is trotting around the Paddock Keith

Fair Dinkum as they say

Still confused about a title though!.....was going to call it "Spirit"of the Light Horse ...

Thanks for looking in

Hi Kevin,
Mate just pulling your leg on the leather painting front ref showing off........should have put showboating
Mute point; If you call it Spirit of the Light Horse you will need to change the apple to a bottle of Whisky or such like.

 

[Nap]

Hi Keith ,

I knew that mate.......guess it's not going to be Spirit then!! .......

I suppose I could always put a bottle of the Amber Nectar in his hand ....NOT!!!

Thanks for looking in

[Wings5797]

I like the "Spirit of the Light Horse"

I guess the name depends on how much you want to, or have to, explain to the viewer......Wayne

Lookin good Kevin. Like the blue shirt, and the face has loads of character. Nice to see you've got one of those nice new wooden clamps too.

 

[Nap]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for comments ...

Wayne good point reckon it might be Spirit

Jazz..thanks mate he has lots of character and the clamp I am using is a really useful piece of kit

Thanks for looking in
