My first ever horse

Hi,

I finished my first horse today!
It's a 40mm horse from the HLBS napoleonic range and will soon carry a british hussar (in the making...)

I was a little afraid of painting horses at first for the large areas frightend me a little.
But after trying out several techniques, I found "my" way of doing it:

Basecoat - Wash of basecoat with some black - from then on dry-brushing in several layers with basecoat getting lighter with the time.

I'm quite happy with the result. In reality, the horse looks astonishingly "real". I almost thought it would jump off my table... ;-)

Hope, you'll like it.

The base will be covered with grass and bushes a little later.
