Lots of flexibility for realistic horses colours.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/2/0/5/1309205-26091-64-720.jpg)
The Indian's horse, so far.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/2/0/6/1309206-26091-41-720.jpg)
Sargeant in progress.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/2/0/7/1309207-26091-31-720.jpg)
First attempt at his bearded face.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/2/0/8/1309208-26091-93-720.jpg)
Indian tracker in progress too.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/2/0/9/1309209-26091-87-720.jpg)
And his weather-beaten face.... Well, that's what I hope to achieve.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/2/1/0/1309210-26091-35-720.jpg)
Progress so far. Second horse to be started today, plus equipment to be painted
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/2/5/8/1309258-26091-24-720.jpg)
The sargeant's horse.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/2/5/9/1309259-26091-97-720.jpg)
Bits and bobs started.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/2/6/0/1309260-26091-73-720.jpg)
Some parts aren't called up on the numbered diagram, so I'm going to have to figure out what they are, and where they are intended to go...
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/2/6/1/1309261-26091-32-720.jpg)
Plenty of details to work with.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/5/0/3/1309503-26091-86-720.jpg)
Today's progress. A little more filler required, so almost ready for colours.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/0/4/1309504-26091-84-720.jpg)
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/5/0/5/1309505-26091-50-720.jpg)
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/5/0/6/1309506-26091-65-720.jpg)
Building up the colours. Unfortunately I don't have a dark blue. Let's see how this develops...
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/5/0/7/1309507-26091-37-720.jpg)
Trying to emulate buckskin. More shading to follow.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/5/0/8/1309508-26091-72-720.jpg)
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/5/0/9/1309509-26091-81-720.jpg)
Well battered hat.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/5/1/0/1309510-26091-68-720.jpg)
Worn leather.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/1/1/1309511-26091-72-720.jpg)
'e's 'armless enough, poor lad.....
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/7/9/8/1309798-26091-31-720.jpg)
Horses and their harness painted.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/7/8/0/1309780-26091-51-720.jpg)
Pin-striped blanket! Yes, tail to be re-fixed...
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/7/9/6/1309796-26091-78-720.jpg)
Some of the filler needed to be rubbed down better, so will re-visit when the paint is really dry.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/7/9/7/1309797-26091-68-720.jpg)
Ready for saddle, rider and all his bits and bobs.
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/0/7/1/1310071-26091-74-720.jpg)
They're coming along.....
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/0/7/2/1310072-26091-21-720.jpg)
Still to add plenty to the mounted soldier and his horse.
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/0/7/3/1310073-26091-89-720.jpg)
There is a choice of two right arms, but neither can be added until more small parts added.. The white stripe is as a base coat before adding yellow.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/0/7/4/1310074-26091-93-720.jpg)
Some touch ups required, I see....
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/0/7/5/1310075-26091-67-720.jpg)
Coming together...Still to paint the ammunition belt.
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/0/7/6/1310076-26091-26-720.jpg)
I need to re-visit the skin tones later, now that it is more apparent where light and shade should be emphasised.

Welcome, all, and many thanks for your 'likes'. First stab at painting today, so we'll see how it looks tomorrow. I've previously mixed blue and scarlet enamels to create leather browns, but don't have acrylic equivalents just now. Making a chestnut colour for one horse may have to wait.

Many thanks for your 'like' too, Ben. This is my third set with horses. I need to complete the earlier ones too.... Just how to make the reins is going to be interesting....
