Horse bending - Cavalry / light dragoons

[marco_snijder]

Hello all,

Here something new: I tested my bendingskills on some of the horsenecks of my British cavalry squadron. tell me what you think, I think it breaks the staticness of the group of horses.

I can tell you that 8 out of 9 horses were moderated, who knows which one NOT!?

Hello there!
your pictures are quite small but let me guess...only the nearest horse's (the one in grey) neck was not 'bent'...
I think you have the neck(can't help the pun  ) to bend these....so do you think you'll like to try bending them sideways (to turn to their left or right)...it might not be acceptable to some playmo-lovers but I think they will look even more realistic and add variety like you did here

Here a few detailed pictures...

All horses have their neck put back maximum for comparison, the horse in the back was not on the first 2 pictures and is an uncustomized one.

The pictures 1-4 were hardest as I had to heat up the thickest part of the chin/neck area....

so do you think you'll like to try bending them sideways (to turn to their left or right)...

I did Cheng! but it was not clear on the first 2 pictures!

Here the group of sideways bend horses.

The grey one in the middle again for comparisson.

Ok, Ok, I'll tell you which horse was not bend,

The brown one with black manes....

Here a groupphoto: the uncustomized one in the middle!

thanks..I couldnt have correctly guessed 

ok...I see those bent sideways look good even when lowered...looking as though they are being very observant while feeding in case an enemy shows up 

well done!! now perhaps your next challenge is to bend the playmo elephant's neck?
