Hi everyone
NO !!! its not finished , began looking at the horse and found 2 hairs embedded in the paint ...so......Sanding and swearing I removed them resulting in beginning to repainted using oils and stippling ...that's getting there now
Kept looking at the leopard skin colouring ........unhappy with it as well sanding back the raised spots , little bit of puttywork , now reprimed and basecoated ....all ready for brushes
Might be going on a bit but in a strange sort of way ...it's enjoyable ...honest !!
Maybe not finished this year ...2022 is looking promising
Happy benchtime

Hairs in the paint Busty . . . . .Really (Don't worry I'm sure Santa will bring some new non shedding brushes )
Admire your sense of exactidue matey. I've got to be honest I'm not sure I'd have had the courage to rub down and repaint.
Hopefully Crimbo shopping will be done and dusted soon so you can press on to the finish. If not I can wholeheartedly recommend a dose of painting to help digestion after Christmas dinner . . .
Cheers

Cheers Leggy ....it's not my fault I have such long flowing locks of hair ........
Had to look up what exactitude meant ....impressive big word ......horse looking better now and it would have annoyed me ...and someone would have noticed ....
Wot!!....Not finished it yet?

Hi everyone
YES !! ........still on the bench ...lost the mojo a bit ..probably too many sprouts at Christmas !.....anyway , I have now detailed and repainted the bridle harness.....several times and added a little texture to the horse , it's a soft sheen in reality , added the tongue , and blaze , all painted
Still to decide on the mane colour
On the shaberaque, I took out the spots there ....initially bad move but now repainted the backing colour with highs...so the spots are next , then will repaint the green, red, gold edgings, once done will add the reins...these are all painted ready...Just to add the ends and buckles when in position
Any comments are always welcome
Some iffy pics
Happy benchtime
Thanks for looking

Caught up again Nap (like the avatar).
This is coming along very nicely, like the horse colour too.
Onwards and upwards mate.

Thanks for comments ref horse , perhaps a dapple would have been more impressive but that's life !
Update ...all spots redone less the rear of saddle area ...then just endings in green , mane and then his face ...once this is done fit the pelisse, sabretache, sword ...and it will be done
Next will be French Mary ...no horse

Nap, Looking good! Will have to admit, you have undertaken a very adventuresome feat. Creating and Painting a Chasseur no less and his mount in bust format. Awesome, simply awesome! Can't wait to see this one completed. So wish I could see it in person at our Atlanta Show in a few weeks here in Atlanta, GA.
