Gardejager zu Pferde, Centauro Line

[billyturnip]

Some photo's of my latest project. Centauro Line Miniatures 90mm Officer of Gardejager zu Pferde.

A beautifully scultpted figure and horse.

Against my better judgement I was talked into painting the horse black, which proved to be quite a challenge.

Assembled and primed ready for painting;

as somebody said " painting is a serious thing " , i can see it's true

I follow your work my friend (mine advance too )

Hi Roger,
Great start on this huge(for me, of course ) project !
Painting a horse is not so easy and your "black" is perfect!
Looking forward your work!

Hi Roger,

This figure is a beauty. And you're making an excellent work with it.
I'm trying to get my hands in one of this.

Can you share the painting techniques of the horse (I love the black and the gold), and of the helmet.

Can follow this one closely.

Cheers,
Paulo
