Excellent result so far Ian, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.

Going well Ian. Lots of horseflesh on view. Thats more horses than I’ve done at once before….I think the most I’ve done was sixteen…..did them in colour groups (All the bays, then the chestnuts, then the blacks etc) for efficiency. How are you going to hold the riders for priming and painting? I have ideas if you need them, based around my 28mm stuff, but if you’ve already sorted it out then crack on :thumb2:

Thanks Tim, I usually just drill an hole in their but and stick a cocktail stick up it. A bit painful sounding but it works. What is your method Tim?

Thanks Gary.

Hi Ian. I’ve got some painting stands for them made out of scraps of balsa wood and biro pen cases. I then just blue tack them to the round bit of the biro so I can hold them for painting.

A bit less intrusive than my method Tim.
