Rocking horses...how to...

 
 
It has been a very long time. Hope you are fine and still occupied with miniatures ;-)
I certainly am. Being buisy at work I really treasure the moments I spend relaxing with my hobby. This is the time when I forget all about my duties and I think it is a very healthy process getting problems off your chest for a while.
 
 
I am very happy to have found a few more of the old toys I use for making my vintage rocking horses. The horse body is very special, I think, made of a very early kind of hard plastic.
 
 
I paint several layers of base and then the details. First the strong unblended colors and then the softening process, shadows and light.
 
 
 
I make the tail of linen fibres.
 
Mostly I show my miniature work on Facebook. If you have an account, you might like to follow Petit Brocante. Just click the label on the right side bar. Anyway, see you soon here too!
