AndrewCJ50 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Dear Friends I had a go at this old set from Dragon 2007 to see whether I could make a go at painting horse flesh Most fun was getting the reins to look realistic - micro masking tape! Hope you like them? Andrew 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the painting of the horse flesh. You nailed it. They look great. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewCJ50 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks John My daughter thought the second rider had his reins too slack, but maybe the second horse knows to follow the feldwebel ahead? Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Nice, but not really armour is it - more like figures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Nice build, I had some horses with a dragon Hummel. They didn't turn out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew More worrisome: the saddle strings on both horses (around the horse bellies) are too far in the back, it would not hold the saddle as it is, the rider would fall pretty soon. But none cares, they look amazing and the scenery around is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYELL Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nice build and the groundwork is excellent. I like the way that the images have been put together- background or photoshopish ? Cheers Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewCJ50 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Dear Blaubar, oops you can tell I don't ride horses! The background is just a sky railway poster stuck to some board and then some scenery stuck on top of that, quite simple really! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I assumed so^^, I just thought I'd let you know. Maybe you are doing another horse dio at some point. It does not change the awesome quality of your dio though. Great work with the poster, it merges so well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billydick Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 brilliant job ... and the riders look to be actually riding the horses... i.e. a nice deep seat and not just precariously attached to the saddle. Very convincing. BillyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewCJ50 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Thanks Billy D, getting them properly on those saddles was important to me. I suppose if the horses were trotting they would lift up, but then the riders leg would go straight and Dragon gave them bent knees!
