It's always a relief when you get to the painting stage, because it means that you're almost done (for me, that is).
And just like any other red-based model horses - the first stage is the Cheeto Stage!
Once the base coat(s) was dry, pastels could be applied. I was planning on painting him to be a dark Seal Brown with little white in the Sabino1 Pattern.
Layer upon layer...Oh! The great differences between the sealed pastel and the next un-sealed coat!
And now the white. In true fashion, white ALWAYS needs multiple coats!
Much better! Except one thing!
With every time I re-applied more white - he demanded more!
Granted, he does look better than the first coat.
But, true to his nature, he was going to fight his way 'till he was completely finished!
Thankfully, he didn't fight when doing his hooves (the cleaning up the edges is normal with every model).
Once he was finished, I made him his own personal Satchel and ID Tag, along with a personal info/show placings page.
Stay tuned for the last installment on Celtic Warrior!
