gosh I LOVE your titles, they're so creative! thank you for putting the time and effort into making a creative title, and going into a large amount of detail!
C'est magnifique! As always. I particularly liked the way you produced the 'silver' edging to the saddle cloth. Keep up the good work, I'm really looking forward to the next part.
Hi Christy Looking at this for the second time as further inspiration. I got some of these figures for xmas- thanks Santa!. My techniques had plateaued and your tutorials have really demonstrated a pathway for me to improve my results!! Awesome job as always- keep up the great work! steve
great work love the painting guide, I'm going to start painting a large army of Ancient Assyrians and the enemies, Meds, Persians, Egyptians and so on. Do you think you could do a painting guide on this period I think I would find it really helpful.
Looks great! when ur done with this one is their any chance you could potentially do a Polish Bolt Action riflemen? im a huge fan of the Poles in WW2 and id love to see how you'd paint them as ur painting is incredible!
+Freddy WarBoar Polish... yup haven't done any of those yet! It's usually more for me about what figures I have available at any given time, but I'll make a note to pick some up if I have a chance.
You painted the french blue highlights differently than you did on the imperial guard grenadier you painted in June. On the grenadier you used oxford blue as the highlight for the french blue. Why the switch to blue?
+Robert Chisholm Because I'm not consistent? I don't really worry about what I did before, I just figure out something I think will work for that figure on a case by case basis and don't really consider if I did it differently elsewhere. I think with this kind of thing there is often no one "right" paint colour, just some that will produce less "right" results. I also change my mind sometimes or find color combos that I like or think work better. Nothing wrong for sure with how I did it before, but I also like this way of doing it I think. :-)
+Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy I wouldn't be overly concerned. With the inconsistency of dyes for the period you could have quite a range of blues, especially when officers had the means to have their uniforms custom made. It would have meant quite a range of tones whether in the French blue or the Russian green, even the British red.
well loking good wll see part 11 but as say lave a spot fore glue then you whont have thown rider whar you glue paint to paint and you un pack your minis and spend blank time glueing all the guys back on the sets seen before not good ir if> pin the guy on then< dont wharry be happy ;;;;]]]
+redgreen09 I agree, this probably isn't the sturdiest solution if your figures will get hard ware. But mine don't, so I don't have to worry too much about attaching well. If you wanted a very good job, you could use a pin to hold the rider to the horse as well.

Nice paint job, Cuirassiers have always been my favorite Nap Cav, thanks for sharing

Very, very nice job! I shall never complain about painting 1/35 scale tank crew again. Lol
Very happy holidays to you! :-)
Excellent job as ever + I like the dramatic choice of background music! I hope you have a happy holiday over Christmas.
Thank you very much for this one! I really wanted to see you do it!
Very nice. For the sheepskin I always use Citadel Screaming Skull, which gives it a creamy white colour that better reflects a sheepskin.
I really like your painting pictorials has helped me develop my skills thank you please reply.
Nice job!

+Garry Armstrong I have a few, but not the very interesting looking ones, so I'd have to get some first.
Hi, thanks for yr reply and assistance. Would be interested in seeing you paint a black 28mm horse
+Brent Miles I did a couple - see my tutorial on the Celtic chariot. I'll admit they're maybe a bit more dark grey than black, but certainly close.
Nice job.
Looks great!
