gets his DNA results, and starts thinking about wargaming.
Stage 6
The dapples. The mix of Neutral Grey and Titanium White is now used to stipple the horse to make the dapples. The paint has to be pretty dilute, otherwise you'll get about two dapples done before you have to clean your brush of a horrible sticky mess and go back for more paint.
The neck and front legs of the Crocodile Games horse show dappling with knackered brush C. The rump is done with brush B. The Amazon horse is done with a brush with its tip intact - though it won't stay that way for long it I do much dappling!
Stage 7
The mane and tail have been drybrushed with Neutral Grey, and then given a wash with Payne's Grey. The hooves have been washed in Rowney Cryla Burnt Umber, and the tack painted in a less dilute version of the same.
Stage 8
Tidying up the base and doing twiddly bits on the harness. (All sort of irrelevant to what colour of horse this is…)
Stage 9
Drybrushed Titanium White on the lower legs to pick out the feathering around the hooves. They are now finished and awaiting varnish - or in the case of the chariot horse, awaiting her partner and the chariot to be painted.
