Very nice indeed.

Superb painting in my opinion.

Nice indeed!
The only thing I would change would be to paint the horse's eyes and nostrils black and add a few white blazes to the horses foreheads.

👍

Look good. I would hate to be up against them.

Thanks for the nice comments :-)
Need two more units to complette all 12 Reg.If i am ready i will show all :-)

And thanks for the hint,but i never paint eyes.Not for figs or animals.For me its waist of time because you dont see the eyes in reality.Maybe its not nice from me but most more than 99% of the painters who try this make a ugly job.Most to big,in German we say "Froschauge"

Regards Dirk

I have found that a fine black marker pen is most useful for fine work and a dot for the eyes on especially bays etc does breath life into the animal.

I use a sparse umber wash to bring the soldiers eyes into action.

It is a specialist task to get eyes right without turning your figures into cartoons as you say.

Best wishes,

Chris
