Title: Horse: Ragtime
Post by: draken35 on October 12, 2014, 07:22:39 PM: I've received a new order for a horse...

The figure ("Cheval nu" - Naked horse) comes from "Les Carnutes"
http://carnutesfigurines.blogspot.be/

A very nice figure; I've already worked on one (see the topic "Riboy)

Post by: draken35 on October 12, 2014, 07:24:55 PM: My first work was to wash the figure in a bath of water + soap.

Then: sanding. Lot of molding lines to remove. There is also some holes present in the resin, that will need for miliput or putty.
Little defaults, easy to correct...

Post by: draken35 on October 12, 2014, 07:26:25 PM: All the molding lines are removed; figure sanded and parts glued together with the new "21" cyano glue that is excellent...

Title: Re: Horse: Ragtime
Post by: draken35 on November 23, 2014, 12:37:08 PM: First photo depicts all the material I was needing for that work: woob base, Piedra Pomez, Vallejo and Citadel colors, needles, PVC glue and grass.

Yesterday I made a mix of Piedra Pomez and Vallejo color "flat earth" that I let to dry for the night.

Today, first a drybrush with some green and brown colors, but also a little bit of red and yellow.

Then, PVC glue is applied evenly.

Grass is put in quantity; then the base is placed on the back for two reasons: to remove the surplus of grass, and to make the remaining grass standing.

Finally the hors can be placed...

Now, just awaiting for the name plate ;)

Don't know for the grass. Foe the one I use, two sources: train hobby shops, and Warhammer...
