The grand army of the Republic has begun, this time with a big horseflesh run.
As in the past, with the horses, I have used the 'quick-paint' method, with inks in the feature.
 |
| freshly cast bare metal on the painting sticks |
 |
| black brush on base coat |
 |
| charcoal and blue undercoat |
 |
| top 'wet-brush' layer |
 |
| under color layer |
 |
| ink layer (you can see the inks I used in the top left of the image) |
 |
| black manes & tails |
 |
| beige manes and blazes |
 |
| greys and musket barrels |
 |
| yellow and red details |
 |
| mounted and matte coated |
 |
| on final bases |
 |
| fully flocked |
this represents the first half of the Union Cavalry on Day one at Gettysburg, I have the other in cleaning process now and expect to finish before the end of December.
Much was put on hold during my bride's convalescence from breaking her arm. All is on the mend now and I hope to have time open to complete these before the new year when a first responder course will be taking all of my spare time.
