Beautiful work as always Paul.

That base too is stonkingly good, you lucky fella Dicky. Do you make these bases for anyone wishing to purchase one Paul?

If so I'll be up for a couple at some point.

Boo yep just let me know how big and when you want it

Hi all

[Paul P.]

Hi all

all for now
Paul

[TRM]

I am not sure if I should really be excited about 4 legs of a horse being painted Paul...BUT I AM! That looks terrific!! Always a pleasure seeing your updates!!!

[Paul P.]

Hi all

jackwagon cheers mucka

Frank many thanks my friend, much appreciated and yes this is done in acrylics

Boo There are plenty of good bases out there on the market, but sometimes you just cant get them big enough

Ok ive painted the inside of the caparison and fixed them to the horse. Ill have to try to protect the horses legs now as there will be a bit of filling and sanding to do to get the rest of the caparison looking right





all for now
Paul

[Paul P.]

Hi Boo
for bases that are square or rectangular i can do just about any size, for round ones im limited to the size of my lathe about 250mm dia
hope yr sculpting goes well put some pics up

Paul

[Paul P.]

Cheers Richard

Started painting the Caparison, yellow and red quarters, this has had the first run at the shading and ill just push the highlights and shading a bit more when this dries fully, and then the first go at the heraldry





Paints still a bit wet so ahould look better when its dry.........hopefully

all for now
Paul

[robbo]

Love it Paul

[multicam]

Man, it looks outstanding already, Paul! I love the darkened yellow:)

[Paul P.]

Hi all

Cheers Robbo always good to hear from you

Multicam thanks bud, coloured materials in medieval times were a lot different to modern ones, Dyes were very expensive especially reds and purples and colours like yellow were more yellow ochre sometimes browny beige.

Added some final shading and highlights and then started on the heraldry. The first task was to decide the size. because there is just one device on the Caparison it would have been quite large so i set it to go over the centre of the quarters and then painted an outline which was then blocked in in white



I then outlined the whole thing in very dark grey also adding the detail to the feathers, finally i added some shading to the whole thing with varying shades of grey





It still looke a bit new so ill probably give it a wash to tone it down a bit. Only another 5 to do exactly the same

All for now
Paul

[robbo]

Cor blimey Paul that's a job done well mate

Cheers Robbo

Frank thanks mate as far as cammo goe i would probably paint it green and add brown splotches

Richard I thanketh thee thou art too kind......eth
