Hi Taiko,

Very Good Work my friend.

What is the yellow tab on the nose of the horse please?

Regards,

Samwel Vella

P.S. ''Husar'' is wrongly spelled on the nameplate or am I wrong .

[Black Army]

Milan! Excelent job! I like the colors.

I think Sam's question isn't right, the yellow tab is the skin of the nose. I have seen noses like this.

Cheers,
Balázs

Ok ''Black Army'' thx for the info I never painted a horse and I didn't know what it was .

However the dappled horse looks very good indeed
