After three months of sitting on my desk I finally finished my death horse!
The finished piece was extracted from the Lord Solar Leontus 40K Games Workshop model utilizing the horse as the centerpiece.
The base was comprised of basal wood sticks and tacky glue. I glued a piece of thick paper under the wood to help align the hole for drilling. The colors were achieved by sponging AK black, Citadel-Base Dryad Bark, Citadel-Base Mournfang Brown, AK Pale Sand and Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade for the wash. The base was a lid from an orange juice lid and finally I lined the bottom of the base with felt. I used the same wash over the jewels to achieve a tattered look.
The carousel rod was the hardest item to obtain. The washers are slightly off but I didn’t feel safe tinkering with the model to make them fit. The vendor on Etsy was nice enough to find me a threading that fit my horse so in the end everything work out beautifully.
