You're right in everything, Phalanx.
I'm not trying to give anybody lessons, I'm just showing what I do. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong. That's how this forum works, I think. I did'nt read at any place "only wonderfully painted figures allowed".
Not only flattering opinions are welcome, but any opinion works for me. And thank you for saying what you honestly think about mi post.
The glossy aspect (that I do'nt like) is by accident. I found that very soft plastic figures reacts with enamels solvent and becomes glossy and sticky. I painted this figures following the same process that I use with the others I'd made. There is a problem for wich I did not found solution yet. Maybe I should cahnge to acrylics
In the other hand, I'm aiming to a "mass" production. I like to make armies rather than individuals and I do'nt want to expend to much time in every subject. You're absolutelly right, chariots looks better with bridles. But that means to devote to much time in every chariot. In the pictures, a chariot without reins maybe maybe not nice. In a 150 figures army, belive me, you do'nt see the difference.
And I will check carefully those examples of beautiful chariots you point to me!
Many thanks
