I've painted quite a few of these guys before but he's not my favorite mold so I wanted to do something with him that didn't involve a lot of resculpting or body work. I feel like this guy is kind of the modern version of the semi rearing Mustang. . . Anyway, he was lightly prepped before getting this wild balloon launch pattern painted on. I went with the "Mass Ascension" theme and used the photos I took a the festival as references for most of the balloons on his sides. He was a blast to paint so I can't promise that he'll be the only one I do. It sure did turn out to be a fun thing to do with a rearing stallion! |
Now to keep working on Benthos (baby seahorse!) He won't be done in time to take the trip up to Maine with us but that's OK because his poppa will represent on the rocky shorelines instead!
Happy Tuesday, everyone!
