This guy is from a stripped down project from a few years back ,I think the horse is from the Captain Manhes figure I know I have bought this one twice so maybe the third time I will actually assemble and paint him.
I have included some notes and pictures of the material used so far which may be of interest .
For the ground work paints ; undercoats after priming : Tamiya Nato Black XF 69 . wooden deck tan XF78 . Flat earth XF 52 .
The Oils . Mars Yellow. Indian yellow. Naples yellow .olive green .Tit White.
Apart from the white all the rest are over 30years old as you will see by the state of the tubes , I don't think the Naples yellow is available in that format any longer as it is full mod heavy metal elements but is still the bees knees for highlighting ( I may just have enough left to see me out )
So on to the Pictures ;First the concept .
Hussar charging down hill. Horse from captain Manhes kit

Groundwork

Materials & paints


Paints for horse : Ivory black , Vandyke brown , Gold Ocher and mixed with a tad Cad Orange , Naples yellow , Raw umber "Old Holland" and white for the hooves Raw umber Vasari to shade the hooves .
Tiger skin Mars yellow , gold ocher, Tit White.
All comments welcome good or bad
