Well Ron however Id like to see you paint up a Horse I think we should stick to human or humanish ( fantasty ) figures to the purpose of this campaign 
Now if there was a figure to go along side the horse then of course it would be acceptable as part of the base

Excellente dave
Matts let me ask first of all are you using an aftermarket head like Hornet ?
If not, no problemo, and have you got a good old Khaki acrylic paint ?
Andrea does a good one Russian Khaki AC5 I think is the number

well you almost right
I do have to finish a fig until next June (I guess) - only this is started already and that wont fit to the rules, so I do it aside this festival
the base is at this stage
and the fig is already base painted

Wahoo Hey thank you Joe !!
Matts thank you I knew it was something like that :laugh:
One tip though Tamiya isnt very good for figures brushig wise, unless you are spraying it as a base coat

yes the tamiya paints suck for brushing! don't know what they done, thought they worked fine before
//Mats
Mats if you can get them in Belgium try the TAMIYA ENANELS they really work nice for brushing on figures.
Storage life of the Tamiya ENAMELS isn't that big like the HUMBROL ENAMELS though....It seems that Humbrol enamels have a storage life 'for ever'.

I totally agree on that Tamiya Acrylics don't get the job done...however,somebody told me;if you thin the Tamiya Acrylics with a bit of dishwater [like DREFT or Prill] the surface tension is much better and you CAN use them for brush painting.[...I have never tried that,though]
Greetings,Ron.

Tried all that Ron and they are still crapiola in my opinion best to stick to the proper stuff

I have been brush painting with Tamiya Acrils for years with really no issues, except with black and white! But my greys and blues ect have been fine. I use floquil for black gloss and MM for flat black now. But I still haven't found a good brush able white in any mixture...

Thats where the Vallejos and Andrea paints come into play good covering with a nice matt finish
I got somewhere a DEAD Verlinden horse in 1/35 in my junk.[will need sometime to find it]...
Any good for this campaign?
Greetings,Ron.
Hey Ron
Nothing says you can't suggest your own DEAD horse campaign...I know I'd join. :laugh:

One is from the Tamiya Russian Tankers set (I will post an un-built pic of same before starting) and here is a link to the other two:

I'm doing three- I'm trying to get some of these fellas off the shelf.
Two in 1/24 and one in 1/48- of course that is Spock and Sulu from my now defunct bridge set used to build the still going slowly saucer!
And the other guy is an air force enlisted that came with the Testor's 1/48 Area 51 UFO kit (more stuff from that saucer)
If this won't work let me know! But this is due in Nov right?
