And the purple curtains. When I originally painted my Black Coach c.2001 it was very traditional. Black. Red curtains. Black wraith. Flames in braziers. Skeleton horses. Job done. It was also on a ridiculously large base that made its footprint huge and made it an easy target in games. The rebasing I covered in a previous post, and I'm pleased with the new trim base.
The 2023 Black Coach has come at a time of colour, and so the horses (proper horses, no skeletons) are white - inspired by Binky (if you know, you know), and after tinkering with purple gor the wraith i went for the same white effect. The curtains are a lovely deep purple, and the flames are blue and magical. Even the wheels are....interesting. The undercoat was my preferred brown.
Overall I'm a fan, although if I did it again I'd base coat the horses grey and build up. The overall image is a physical coach and coffin, drawn by ghostly horses and coachman.
