Unfortunately I won't get to MFCA... I left it too late and didn't get my passport in time Can't cross the border without a passport anymore I think I will be at Chicago though, will you be showing there?

We've discussed it but the figure painting community is rather small and we don't even have a formal club. I'd love to have a real figure show here though.

Hi Ivo
I have been studying a lot of your fantastic models on PF and have a question about your technique.

From work in progress images it looks like you construct the entire model including straps and reigns etc before painting - including fixing the figure in the saddle. Am I correct and if so is there a reason for doing it this way? I imagine it could make painting difficult in places.
I would be interested to know your method.
Cheers
Mat

Hi Matt

basically I assembly everithing except the rider on the saddle.

Rider is apart but, not always but frequently, straps and reins are attached.

Isn't really difficult to paint the part assembled, don't forget that the deepest area are shadow areas and some black wash are useful. I'm painting in this moment an Hussar and the pelisse was glued before painting

Hi Ivo
Thanks for clarifying your assembly technique. I think I will try it for myself. Usually I find assembly of painted parts very annoying as I often can't avoid glue on the paintwork etc and everything starts to get in a mess! Previously I worry about not reaching detail areas but I agree with you that a lot is often hidden anyway.
I look forward to seeing your new Hussar.
Cheers
