Sir John gets a ride…
Well , for the moment anyway.
I recently finished a couple of horses, one for my 1918 Yeoman, and this one , for a 19th century figure.
The first horse is a rebuilt plastic “Cindy “ horse , but this black horse is completely made from scratch , with a Foamex skeleton, covered with air-drying clay : Efaplast , also called Fimo Light.
Foamex is that sheet plastic used by signwriters nowadays, and comes in several useful thicknesses. Cut it up on a bandsaw , strick together with MekPak .
The “airlight” modelling clays are tremendous for jobs like this , since they are very easy to add , and can be sanded when dry.
Sculpting a horse is a bit of an undertaking , and it took a lot of adding, carving down, then changing things until I was happy. But you do get the horse you want in the end.
Eventually it will probably end up with a trooper from Waterloo on it , but the moment it has an 1856 saddle.
I made a black sheepskin cover, which conceals it fairly effectively for the present , until I can make some more saddles of different patterns.
