    This is a metal kit from New Hope Design. I bought the kit in Atlanta for $2.50, no art work or painting details, it became my new project. This was an old kit from the 1980's? and needed ,as I got into it, massave prep work to get it ready to paint. Had to make a few parts. Once I primed the figure and started to paint I could see there were tiny pin-holes and cracks all over the figure. Made a thin paste of sculpting putty and brushed out the holes. I like learning new things and it was fun to see what I was doing was working to clean it up. This is the first horse I painted. Thanks for looking, Mike

    I like it and a solid buy at $2.50. I think the bear skin could use a little more depth but everything else looks very clean. Nice work sir. I hope to see you in Dallas at the end of the month.

    Good work Mike, you´ve painted it very well. I like the horse, leather, shield and ground. I like to see this figure, me too I painted a few of New Hope and the quality changed depending in to modeller, but they had a very extended catalogue.
