I knew i had some old oils laying around somewhere.Unfortunatly only found blue and yellow.Decided against blue or green horses,but had some of those lovely Eureka Miniatures Frog warriors(gathering dust for about a year or two).
If the technique works on horses,it will probaly work on frogs.I mean they are both animals and ..err.. small.. errrrr.
