I love The Black Stallion Books. I enjoyed the movies, but the books are great.
I have alot of the hardback older copies of the book.
So being given a classic Man O’ War model I went to hack it up to be The Black.
This is how Walter Farley described the black.
“His mane was like a crest, mounting, then falling low. His neck was long and slender, and arched to the small, savagely beautiful head. The head was that of the wildest of all wild creatures- a stallion born wild- and it was beautiful, savage, splendid. A stallion with a wonderfully physical perfection that matched his savage, ruthless spirit.”
Wrapped the tail with string and glue. Then started painting.
Gave him eyes
Then started hairing. Will post pics of him once his hair is under control!











Nice job! Especially on the ears- he's got a great expression. I look forward to seeing him finished!
