Dear friends,
I´ve got the model 90mm from my lovely colleague Elena living in Moscow. The cast was very poor so I had to re-sculpt most of the model. The hairy texture of the horse was done the Daniel Ipperti way using pebeo`s coating medium.
Painted with Acrylics.. great experience but due to the quality of the cast an endless pain…
The model was sculpted by I.Kordyukov.. one of the best!
Have fun and best regards from Hamburg,
Chris

Very nicely done.

Great figure .
Shield is outstanding.

If I may make an observation : the whites in horses can be seen only if the horse scared.Horse eyes are black when the horse is calm.

Dear John and Dekiman,
thank you for your comments!
OK Horse eyes will get fixed..
Happy painting ,
Chris

I'm not a horse guy, but... blue eyed horses might be an exception, huh?

Probably no American quarter horses in Russia in the period depicted by the model?

All the best,
Dan

Not exactly what I meant, Christian, but whatever.

Thought you might be interested in this article about horse breeding (including quarter horses more recently) in Russia. http://sputniknews.com/voiceofrussia/2012_03_12/68239024/
