1. Actually, you can’t see the whites of the horse’s eyes on this beautifully painted model. What you can see is the gleam on the horse’s eyeballs.2. That is such a tedious and oft-repeated fallacy here on LAF that I have a rebuttal picture on standby, for every time someone trots out that same sad, tired old myth. Here goes...Stressed, frightened or angry horses (in the middle of a battle, let’s say) roll their eyes and you see the whites A LOT.Commenters could take a few minutes to examine the evidence before regurgitating shibboleths of such flaky provenance
And yes, clearly it’s a glint of light off the eyeball, which I quite like on wargame models as it adds to the sense of movement.
It’s a lot of syllables, but I think it lands the point
Technically I think it should be a fallacy, not a shibboleth, but quibbling butters no parsnips
That is a very dynamic pose! As far as I can tell, the horse is fully supported by just two contact points on the left front leg - might be tough to do the same with a heavier metal model!As for the components, is that head from some kit or did you convert it somehow?Also very nice paintjob, though personally I would have probably done the armour with a bit more shading to make the individual armour plates stand out better.
Wonderful conversion!Dynamic is the word and beautifully executed ( no pun intended!).Cani always where Joan’s banner is from please?All the bestSimon
Wunderbar Herr Immig! I think the head is from Statuesque? She has the same look as my Brienne of Tarth
