Prussian Commanders (cont.) - And then they were horses

 

Today I did the detailling on the horses - blazes, socks, manes, hooves.

I tried a new trick for the dark manes. Mixed black ink with Valleyo "Slow Dry". Helps the ink stick more than run, and makes for a nice darkening filter effect. Just painted that across the already shaded brown or grey.

I'm pretty pleased with the results, makes one hell of a difference. Suddenly they start to look like horses.

Next up: Either the clothes or the horse tack, yet undecided.
