Here's something I'm more comfortable painting than great big resin busts.
A 30mm flat of an Ottoman Sipahi c.1500-1690. The horse is still in progress so a bit rough looking.

Roger.

What was I thinking of to post such a huge pic of a 30mm fig?

I don't mind! Great start and subject! Will follow closely!
Cheers Roger!
Zeno

Thanks Zeno, by all means follow my progress but you won't be getting anymore pics that size!

Roger.

great subject here Roger, unusual one.
I am sure that you will be happy when it's done, you have painted a great variety of periods.
cheers

Thanks for commenting Daniel. One of the beauties of flats there is such a varied and diverse choice of subjects. I often look at some of them and think I wonder why nobody in the "round" fig world hasn't done this.

Roger.

THAT is exactly what I feel when I look at such rich variety of figures you've painted, it's a shame that there are not many periods covered on round figs.
Best regards my friend and keep up the great work.

Update time.

Really like the shading and colors of the horse!

All the best,
Dan

Thank you Dan.

Hi Roger,
I totally agree with Dan the on the horse very nice. Now if you want to scale up I've a 120mm nag waiting to be done.
cheers
Richie

Cheers mate.
I bet it's not flat enough for my taste Richie.

Update.

Looks really nice Rog nice one always been a puzzle why there aren't more Otterman and similar era/empire figures around some amazing colours to be seen there for sure
Steve

Cheers Steve.
I've got scores of these inc. Hungarians, Stradiots, Croats but finding references is another matter. Fortunately I don't think there was any set pattern but....

Stradiots? Who are they? I'm disclosing my totally inadequate US public school education, but wha....?

I very much like the update!! Quite colorful!

All the best,
Dan

Cheers Dan, have a look here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratioti

Nice looking piece Roger. I especially like how the horse is turning out.
