Hi Guy,

IMHO the weathering effect is absent on the mini, at least the horse legs should be covered with mud, other words, to be dirty, because this gentlemen is a hunter and he cannot look like a solder at the military parade.

In any case this is very good paintng job!

My congratulations,
Fenix

Thanks for the kind words and comments. Much appreciated.

Felix ~ I have not got to that point as yet. I usually weather the horse / rider after I decide how I will display him. If I do him in snow......the snow will be up on the horse's legs as it would normally be. If I decide to mount him in a mountain scene then dust will be applied to the horse's legs. I am still awaiting on a base I have ordered and will decide then how I want the scene to unfold. I may add another Mountain Man standing or sitting....or.....add an Indian charging at the Mountain Man. I just have not decided as yet.

I had to do some re-work to the base of the Mountain Man and remove a thick coat of wax to be able to paint the end / front a gray color of granite. Now the base is back together and ready for the fastening of the horse and rider.









Now mixing up a 2 part epoxy I will attach the horse and rider with the base that came with the kit and after letting the epoxy cure I will add groundwork out to the edge of the base in front and back.





Next........the groundwork!!

All comments welcomed.......thanks

It is very beautiful support from dear{expensive} breed of a tree - the fine basis for this figure my friend! Superb!
Yours faithfully.

Thanks for the kind words Sergey. I think the base will enhance the Trapper when it is done.
