New Horse - Breyer's Big Ben

Hello all. Well I finially finished a new horse. I was keeping my Kathleen Moody Big Ben as part of my original finish collection, but while organizing my models I noticed he was extremely beat up. I can't even remember when I got him, but I know he sure took a few spills over the years. So I thought "why not repaint him". I love Big Ben so I painted him look like him. A little meta perhaps, but it was nice to just paint a model instead of getting wrapped up in overly zealous customizations. He turned out well, I am pleased except for the fact he is considerably redder than I was going for. I realized that all my browns are red based. I am going to have put some money down on some yellow browns if I want to do a portait of the liver chestnut horse I am currently riding :S Oh well. I also tried playing with my new light tent and I definitely need to iron the background. Although I think getting nicer fabric would be better!
