Lovely sheepskin Paul...ahh...there's a strange way to start off a conversation but I bet 500 years ago it wouldn't have been! Great work on the grain effects.

[wbill76]

Nice progress on the 'rug' for lazy-arse driver! And I see there's a slight theme to this latest update Paul, subconscious at work?

[Paul P.]

Bruce many thanks mate

Many thanks Deano, glad you dropped by

Cheers Dicky, know what you mean

Many thanks Boots

Im still working on the back end of the horse, for some reason me brush wont do what me brain tells it , must be painters block
I was also thinking about putting a drape on the back of the horse. just something like a blanket with a motif on it. I had an email back from my new friend at the museum about it, he says there is no evidence that the horses were adorned in any way, and again none to say that they were not, so let me know what you think, i have a picture in me head of possibly a red blanket drape just behind the strappage with perhaps a celtic motif on it.

Paul

[Paul P.]

lol. no mate just a thought i had. i dont think Dr Jody was to keen either. the same when i mentioned tattoos to him as i was going to paint some on the driver.

[robbo]

Righto Paul, got me a tube of Raw Sienna mate, question is, can I thin this stuff so I can airbrush it ?

[Paul P.]

Dicky close mate, it was LUV and HAT, come on gotta get the spelling rite

Good job Robbo, fraid I cant help with the airbrush as I don't have one, something I seriously need to consider, but I would imagine any paint as long as its thin enough will be OK


Paul

[AndyArgent.]

more excellence Paul and a nice fix with the rug mate.Nice to see you and your young lady at the weekend also.

[Paul P.]

Cheers Andy, yeah good to see you again, Don't know who you mean though I was with my missis

[Deleted]

.....Just PRAY Karen don't read that,or we'll never see ya again!!!!!

[AndyArgent.]

LOL and double LOL

[wouter]

whoa, Paul - as ever! - impressive work mate...love the painting and all...my fav is the chariot though, that's a piece of art!

Cheers

[Paul P.]

Many thanks Wouter, appreciated mate

jackwagon, what you saying like, you know she likes to read your blogs,

Right painted the sheepskin rug for lazy boy and hes had a warning, move again and i feed him to the lions, i have also started on the bow case










bit more to do on this, try to make it look not so new


Paul

[Paul P.]

lmfao

[wbill76]

Never seen Dicky move so quick...you might be on to something Paul!

Nice progress with the rug and such. I agree with Dicky, the blanket wouldn't really be necessary...the horses are going to be shown hitched up to the chariot, right? Only time you typically put a blanket on a horse is when they aren't going to be actively engaged in anything for a long period of time yet still exposed to the elements and even then I'd think that's more of a modern practice vs. period-specific. Either way, looking forward to more on this one!

[Paul P.]

ok no blanket , many thanks Bill

Paul

[Paul P.]

LOOL havnt done any today, had to do DECORATING this is my penance for having fun last weekend, good job I love her

Paul

[robbo]

Decorating? I share your pain my friend

[wbill76]

I can't help it, every time I hear someone say 'decorating', I can't help but wonder 'for what'? Just tell her that any colors will work so long as they are plaid/tartan.

[Paul P.]

Thanks for your concerns gentlemen, luckily for me it was just what she calls a "feature wall", so 10 mins with a 15" paint brush and hey presto a red wall ,..................and i have to say it looks pretty...........RED !!!!!!!
After that i managed to get into the cave to some serious work

I thought id make a push and finish the horse, seeing as i still have another to do












Must have found my horses a$$ brush as the paint did what i wanted this time, could have been the paint, perhaps it wasnt horses a$$ paint its no good ill have to label them

Paul

[wbill76]

Glad to hear you escaped with only a single red wall Paul, it could've been much worse...speaking of which, you now have Dicky admiring your a$$...

And yes, you should definitely label all your paint and brushes to keep them straight from now on!

[deafpanzer]

It just keeping getting better and better to the point that my jaw no longer can extend further down because it has already hit the floor....

You are the MAN!

[`Boots`]

Ferkin` fantastic Paul......the horsee is just outta this world fella

[Paul P.]

Cheers Dicky, don't think they had stripey horses though, OK Zebra coming up


Bill. just one red wall until the next time , you know what they say about those ex navy guys ,

Andy one jaw retractor on the way, just make sure no one treads on it

Many thanks Boots,im pleased with it as well

Ill add a bit more to the harness next so that its ready to go on the chariot
