Rui SThank you very much Timothy. It's on hold, because I thought in put some figurines in the tank and a horse rider or so in the trail next to it. I'm not very good in figurine faces... I've yet to try the oils on them😉

Rui SThank you very much for your kind words Fabian, and Donald... as I wrote the kit waited years for a Zimmerit solution... All my latest projects are missing the figurines hehe...
22 March 2015, 20:22
Tim HeimerHey I know the pain of not doing faces as well, but all we can do is learn from others and do what fits our liking
22 March 2015, 22:50
Rui SAgree. I Think the most important is practice... A lot, with new technics. I'm confident that with oils it's going to be better...
22 March 2015, 22:57
Rui SSome ad on photos. I thought to put some figurines on the side track but for now, I'm going to try a messenger...

Wesley De BraekeleirUbercool!!! Love your work sofare! Very beautiful camo pattern on the elefant! 😉

CaptGPFDamn Rui, that camo pattern is wicked! The mud effects are also impressive!
21 September, 00:14
Mr JamesI agree with CaptGPF, also that tree is really good. What did you use as leaves Rui ?
21 September, 00:42
Rui S@ CaptGPF, Thank you for your comment. I hope you liked that Wicked 😄 😉 this Is an old project that is on hold as well as the photos. I hope to take better photos and complete it.
@ Mr James Thank you for your Nice words. I hope you also liked that Wicked 😄 The tree is a bonsai that had died, I cut some leaves because they were too big. If I remember correctly, I spread small wood shavings and other natural ones that I had in my vegetation stash on the ground.
Also, I thank the new likes. Apreciated

Rui SI'm very happy to say that I've returned to my mancave this weekend after a to long hiatus.
So to start I preferred a lighter job, although painting horses is not, in my opinion, easy.
Let's see what this will give...
29 September, 21:02
Alec KNice to see you back at the bench, and another shelf queen resurrected. Horse looks great imho 👍
30 September, 11:52
DoubtingmangoGreat job breathing life into an old kit, and I can't think of a better use for a dead bonsai tree! Looking forward to the finish!
30 September, 12:22
Rui S@Alec, Thank you for your kind words and support. It is always great for me to receive such encouragement, even more so, when they come from a master modeler.
@Doubtingmango thx mate, I agree with you., but hey, I can only return to my bench on weekends, só it Will take some time to finish. For me the most important thing was getting my mojo back.
@Gorby, Thank you very much my friend, for your motivational words. They are always very important to me.
The horse will still improve, I hope. At least that's what I'll try to do without ruining all the work that has already been done 🤔 😉

Desert MarlinLooks great! The coat should shimmer like a newly minted US penny. (Shiny Copper). I'll follow!!!

Ben MI hate to be the first to inform you, that is not a tiger, nor is it an elephant, it is a horse.
4 October, 01:52
Rui S@Landlubber Mike. Thank you for your comment. Glad you like this one
@Desert Marlin, I know whar you mean. I've been hesitating about highlights with a soft airbrush of satin black or satin varnish on the most exposed surfaces. I hadn't thought about copper. But yes, it will have to have some shine.
@Ben M, Hahaha. Thank you. Your comment with a triple meaning has made me laugh several times, but in my defense I can tell you that this horse It is known as having the strength of an elephant and bites like a tiger. That's why they nicknamed him tiger elephant. 😄
@Kim, thank you very much Mate for stoping bye and comment. Always apreciate your suport.

Rui SWow, this is an unexpected comment. It's always great to receive a compliment from a Master. Thank you so much for stopping by and for those encouraging words. Appreciate it.
6 October, 23:46
Rui SHi Ben, If i reacall corrctely, I gave a little bit of both, sarting with a black primer, overal coats with oils leaving those spots almost unpainted or with less coverage.
7 October, 11:05
Angel YovtshevThese horses were a nice surprise, Rui!
I'm currently fighting the harnesses of a two-horse team pulling a gun carriage(it's a hard fight- I can tell you!).
Your reins look splendid!
Cheers,
Angel

Pietro De AngelisDamn, what a gestation this work has had,
it gives me hope that sooner or later I too will finish something!😅
Congratulations for the scene and for what you managed to do with that old Elefant, the horse is wonderful!
Admiration and respect
7 October, 22:02
Rui S@ Angel Yovtshev, Thank you for stoping by. Mate Your comment was also a nice surprise to me. Apreciated. I'm sure that for a master scratch builder like you, the harnesses will be a piece of cake. Looking forward to see it.
@ Pietro De Angelis, Thx a lot for you praise, really Apreciated. But you are right and If you would know the century I started the Italeri kit... 😄 I'm a slow modeller wich fails to keep the Mojo high for long periods, so, it's nice to make a few more steps to conclusion. I'm glad you like my work on the Elefant and horse.
@Desert Marlin, Thx again for your suport, it means a lot to me. I'm sure you noticed that i've followed your advise and gave it a soft overcoat of satin Varnish on the upper or most exposed surfaces 😉
