There was a recent thread….somewhere*…on TMP about the
Chore involved in painting model horses.
I thought about it & I think horses are the things I paint best. Please note: I'm certainly not claiming any great expertise but I do a nice line in dappled, my horse tack is painstakingly rendered & the various washes I use generally work. Artillery pieces, terrain, blocks of infantrymen or singly-based figures: what do you paint best?
* I'm not allowed too say where

Armies. If it less than 200 figures why start? |

I would like to think that I am getting good at painting rust.

Flags and shields: not that it's easy, but they look great when done, pays off the effort. |

Oh this is easy – it's my fingertips while holding figures by their base. |

Tanks. WW2 British Infantry. I am always amazed how well 2mm figure blocks come out with a wash and a drybrush too. |

Horses and white uniforms. I use wet-into-wet for horses and find them very relaxing to paint. White uniforms are just about the only thing I paint without needing to mix colours |

As show and tell at my dentist last week took a Russian 15mms dragoon. He has horses so that's why I took it. He liked my colours and thought I did a good job. |

Calpe Napoleonics! They always look like they are painted by a much better painter then me, when compearing them to other figures I paint. |

Any completed figure, mini or model is my best work. |

I agree with agree with Gunfreak.
Calpe figures make my painting look good. |
