Mounted Gimli and Legolas

So here we are, back in Middle Earth, in the company of Gimli and Legolas and Tom Pearce's Grey Mare. (But that still only counts as one!)

This batch of horse riders are all from Ebay and all sprayed white.

I find it easier to paint on black but followed advice in Masterclass WD280 where they suggest working up from dark grey to white for the horse.

Looking back on it, I'd have done better and quicker with the usual shading on the white.



I soon abandoned the Masterclass with its complex paint combinations.

I've used Catachan Green for the cloaks and Dark Angels Green for Legolas' tunic.

Various browns did most of the rest with Scab Red added to Dark Flesh for the beard and the usual Rohan type base.

The classy stone could be a mileage sign or a boundary marker.

Now noticed I have some weathering to do!
