the palette has been the same as for the previous steps, not new colours but the same colours

I hope this isn't a silly question but do you use Epoxy or Superglue on your figures Ivo? I have traditionally used Epoxy Resin and have a mistrust of superglues. But it is so easy to get in a mess with epoxy especially the fast drying ones. I'm interested in the view of an experienced modeller especially someone who does so many conversions.

hi Keith

most of my assembly are done with ciano acrilic glue... suoerglues are used t fix the rider on the horse and the horse on the base.

consider that the biggest parts are normally welded..

 

[Tecumsea]

By Superglue I mean Cyanoacrylate, interesting that you are happy assembling with them. Fixing the Horse to the base and rider to the horse do you mean Cyano or Epoxy Resin. When you say welded do mean with a soldering Iron?

Keith

 

[ivopreda]

Hi
Ops... My English...

Ok superglue alias ciano is used for most fly if the assembly... Epoxy for gluing the pieces to the base or for bigger pieces

Yes welding means with soldering iron, pins in the horse legs was welded. The horse himself was built welding the different parts

 

[Tecumsea]

Thanks for clarifying that Ivo, perhaps I will have to put more trust in Cyano.............see you at Stresa,

Keith

the progress of this soldier is a bit slow ... I'm working on multiple projects at the same time and at the moment Lannes suffers ...


however, a couple of images the advancement ...

the background color of the saddle


what will become the saddle


white pants ....

 

[megroot]

That saddle and saddle cloth will be a great challenge.
Should be no problem for you.
Awesome work so far.

What do you use to paint the golds? Printers ink? Mixed with oils?
