I Base coat them using a sponge..ts damn quick and gives a slight texture to the painting.
Just don\'t go overboard a little bit of paint on a damp sponge.

I saw it firs used on historical minis and it works good.

As for highlighting horses are generally fairly large so don\'t need massive amounts of highlight 2-3 will do.

hmm.. the fastest way must be dipping

the hardest part is getting horses used to the spraygun. But hair dye in an automotive type sprayer (HVLP) would be the quickest and most economical. :yes:

Ah but if you have a grip on the harness and are scratching their top lip most horses will relax very quickly.
(or so I\'ve been reliably informed.)
