Crazyredcoat's Crazy Compendium of Collected Creativity
A horse! A horse! My Kingdom for a horse!
The next mini I am working on will take up a few posts and is a King’s German Legion Hussar from Perry Miniatures (I actually know where this one comes from! Magical!). Thought I’d start with the horse, because it has been quite some time since I painted one. First things first, as this is a historical mini, I need to consider the types of horses used, so I went to artworks of the KGL Hussars.
The horse pictured resembles the colouration of Bay horses near perfectly so I went looking into that with one thought from my brother; ‘it should have socks!’ So I found some images as references including markings, though I never ended up using face markings, I decided to put the image here for others, if they want to do it.
All that’s left is the final (well not final, but final) product! I will do the accoutrements and cloth as a separate post before moving on the Hussar Officer himself.
fabulous work @crazyredcoat well worth a gold button.
Thanks, mate!
