If you haven't already try John Julius Norwiches "Normans In The South" and "Kingdom In The Sun", I believe they now come in 1 book rather than two volumes. An excellent author and a great read.PaintPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047331820540221681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-74811830242871709762015-10-07T06:06:42.731-07:002015-10-07T06:06:42.731-07:00Lol!

Please see my comment above regarding how the dappling was done - you can also go over all of it later with a very light dry brush of white - to even/soften things out.

I actually did both simultaneously - sort of. I went back and forth between the two. The horse was given a white undercoat, then washes of watered down black mixed with PVA (this makes it dry slower and settle in the recesses). Then I splotched white dots in irregular groups of 3-5; the dots also being irregular in size. Maille armor is one of the easiest stuff to paint - silver dry brushed over black. :) Regards, DeanDeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-10623833951289607552015-10-04T07:27:07.561-07:002015-10-04T07:27:07.561-07:00Appreciate the nice comments, Soren.
