I was digging for some non-war customs, so here's a custom I did years back (before I had any of those new 'coloured' playmo horses  :P)
ummm...non-war I assure you  ;D these are work horses at the EKKA Fair in Surfers Paradise Qld, for the joisting show  :lol:

its no big deal now that we are going to have 3rd generation playmo-horses in 2011  :P but i know there are still many collectors out there like me who grew up with these 'rocking-horse' type of horses  ;)

but I dont think its appropriate for PF's "How To" section because now "nobody wants to" :P

but I was pleased as punch with myself when I sprayed them years back, now its too elementary for most of us now  ;D

Well cheng, the thing is, even though there might be new horses, us medieval types are still stuck with using the old horses for some things.

Many of the horse coats are only produced for the old style horse, so for me personally it is a great pleasure to see that these horses can be brought to life by using your technics.

Thank you very much for sharing!

I agree with Wolf Knight and Gis, cheng, it's the simple touches which can so often make the job outstanding and here the addition of coloured mane and tail are great touches.

Thanks, too, for the "how-to".  There are always people new to custom work, even long term collectors, who will find information like this useful.

Wy only "non-war" customs by the way?  We have a fairly bloodthirsty mediaeval and Viking lot here you know.

I'll agree with you Gis!!! All the great horse coats are the ones that suit old horses!!!
