Husaria - Building a Polish army for the 1620s
A lick of paint
I am by no means an expert painter, and so will not go in to too much detail, but will instead talk through some of the processes I used, and any tips I picked up along the way.
The horses were black undercoated, as already described earlier, and painted separately from the riders. Not much to report. I used triads of browns for most of the horses, with a grey added in for good measure. I went for bright saddle cloths but resisted the temptation to try and spruce these up with any free hand detail. I reckoned on neat stripes looking better than poorly executed detailing. After the paint was throughly dried I brushed on gloss varnish as a protective layer.
“Empty horses” ready for varnishing.
