Fantastic stuff all round

[oxiana]

Must you make them look so good, Captain?

This, basically! 

[DFlynSqrl]

Fantastic work, as always!

[Hammers]

That's great, Richard.

[Andym]

Good stuff as always!!

How do you paint your minis? Are you a layer-er? Working from dark to light? Do you shade down from a basic colour? Do you use army painter? Go on tell us the secrets of success!!

[Captain Blood]

Thanks everybody

Andy, I'm not sure I can give too much help to a chap who sculpts and paints 28mm scale pencils and clipboards! But for what it's worth, I posted a step by step build and paint of a Perry plastico, over on Steve Dean's forum...

if you would indulge me for a moment, the black and white horse, although beautifully painted, looks a bit like a cow  (don't hit me  )

You're right, damn you, Bibbly - it does. But it's based on a horse standing in the field just down the road from me, so I'm content with it, even though it looks a bit wrong

I've seen similar ones myself, I think the colours might be a bit too contrasting for the scale given though (I'm still incredibly jealous because I'm crap at painting horses  ), still beautifully done though 

Every time I see yours I want to buy some   

cheers

Stunning as always I really like the different poses (after looking at the originals) but if you would indulge me for a moment, the black and white horse, although beautifully painted, looks a bit like a cow  (don't hit me  )

This reminded me of a locally famous hippologist from around the last turn of the century. He was a bit of a posh idiot and claimed with great authority that the pinto was related to the common cow.

Excellent work Captain 

Ironically I painted a cow that looked just like a horse, small world eh!

I think mine is more of a spotted Apaloosa... 
People think of the Apaloosa as an 'American breed', even though the Spanish didn't bring horses to the Americas until AD 1500... Genetic mutations leading to spotted and patched equine markings go back thousands of years...

Oh man Captain, now I have to really get another army going.  Absolutely fabulous.   

[Remington]

I might need a cigarette after this eye-candy... and I don't even smoke. 

[valleyboy]

I've only just found this, but boy am I glad I did!

Richard -That is breathtaking, i'd love to see you paint some Italian wars stuff like Gendarmes and landsknechts
