Horseman WIP..... Finished! 10/3/17

[JollySipper]

Just getting started on this. This is my first large scale figure..... I must have picked the poorest fitting kit for my first one! I love the subject, tho, one of my favorite stories..........

This is the tree, assembled, then primed, puttied, primed again...... then I did a lot of washing and a little dry brushing...........

I am intrigued.

[JollySipper]

Thanks for showing an interest, James! Agent G did a build of this kit a while back that I've been using as reference/inspiration....... He did a fantastic job........

[JollySipper]

So the horse is together! That was a job within itself..... Now to putty everything but the saddle. The "hair" on this is too coarse, and needs too be smoothed out.

Just rubbing the one-part Bondo on with my finger.......

[JollySipper]

The rear haunches have been puttied and in primer........

[Jim B]

That's one hairy horse.  Maybe it's its winter coat.   Nice job with the Bondo.

[JollySipper]

Thanks, Jim! 

Started on filling seams on the rider...... I used white glue to fill the joints at his shoulders, so I wouldn't fill in the details on his jacket.......

Also still working on smoothing the horse......

The tube is the glue I'm using to join parts with. It's Beacon's 527 Multi-use glue...... It's a good bond, haven't had anything come loose even with all the sanding....

This is really shaping up into something cool. I didn't understand what it was at first, when it was just the tree, but I can be a little thick. I like the details in the riders jacket. Can't wait to see what it looks like in paint.

"I know you rider gonna miss me when I'm gone" ??

Interesting project Tim...

 

[JollySipper]

Thanks, Carl.........!

Doing some work on the Rider......... Got some leathers done.................

[JollySipper]

Pretty much have the rider finished!

[JollySipper]

Putty work on the Horse is done! I think the DupliColor black primer gives it a nice low sheen......

[JollySipper]

Started doing some detailing on the Horse.......... If you guys ever think of any tips or see something I could do different or better, don't hesitate to mention!

Thanks.............

[JollySipper]

I had boxed this away for a while and worked on model cars some. I thought with Fall upon us, it's the perfect time to try and finish him up! I've got a mockup of what I've done so far..... Still needs reigns, stirrups, cape and other bits, but I have made some progress.......

 

[JollySipper]

Finally got him finished, Guys!

 

[bobthehobbyguy]

Nicely done.

[Jim B]

That's pretty cool.  The horse looks crazed with the white eyes.

[Agent G]

NICE!

G

[JollySipper]

All we need now is a red horse and a pale one..............

[Dragline]
