For my Hogwarts display at Knaresborough I wanted to make a thestral to use in the display.
As a thestral is a skeletal winged horse I decided that the recently released Pegasus was the nearest thing I could use to make one.
It's not quite as scary looking as the thestral in the films, but people seemed to recognise it for what it was supposed to be.
I used the golden coloured pegasus, spray painted it black, then following an illustration of a thestral, I painted in the skeletal markings using a pale grey paint that had a slightly pearlescent finish.
Here's the result...

@Elaine: this thestral is amazing! You could have chosen the easy way and pretend nothing was pulling the cart to Hogwarts. But you didn't! Congrats you wouldn't have imagined a Thestral different than yours.

wow! great Elaine!
Did you try the dragons wings? I think they have the same type of conector and it would look more like the "real" THESTRAL ;D
-
Thanks for that Gaston - Yes the dragon wings would be a good idea, I'll have a look at them :)
