The bottom of the base was painted using life colour UA 412 extra dark brown paint. The ground detail on the base was done with stony pasture mix. The horse was mate varnished and gloss varnish was used on the briddle and saddle parts. The figure was painted with s.europe mud and mud powder on the boots, glove and tunic. and also round the horses hoofs and legs. the figure was then glued to the base. the sword was then painted and added to the figure. Thanks for looking in. Ian ian smith attached the following image(s): Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood. Finished Builds Corel HMS Victory cross section.

The saddle roll has been painted with Foundry French Blue 65a shade, 65b and 65 c light. the straps where put in using scale colour black leather and nato black mix. And a white circle on the side was put in using Tamiya flat white. The reins where glued on and painted with scale colour black leather and nato black mix. I also touched up the grass on the base that looked a bit thin. The finished photos where then done.
