I was very proud of Murats infamous full tiger skin shabraque, whcih is now covered and the shading isn't really visible on these pics! doh!

This was on the strelets page, but I just got a new camera from ALDI (7mpixel- I had one before for 7 years but the charger for the batteries died and a new one was nearly as much as another camera.) and have taken some new pics, this time with a better set up and I dug out my daylight bulb.

Fantastic! :love: :love: :love:

You did a great job on these Strelets (and Italeri) figs. Superb highlighting and crisp detail. These pictures are defenitely better than the ones I've seen at the Strelets website. The white background makes it very 'clean'. :thumbup:

PS horses don't have white eyes. ;-) Something I painted wrong too a while ago.

I know- :spank: Murats hosre would have been O.K, as you can see white at the top under the lid when they are wild, but the other guy has no excuse.

Did you also know you can get pale blue eyed horses- very weird! :laughing:

(O.K lets go for all the emoticons you can in this thread, only they must be in context to comments!)
