Meet my "World Champion"

I am happy to say that one of my most recent customs acheived the title "World Champion" in the PtHA Model Horse Show.

I can only hope I have more opportunities to create live show quality models for other people interested in model horse shows!

Here are some photos of the champion.

I will be posting a blog soon on the progress of customizing a model.

Man, That Horse is Ugly!

Here is my newest breyer custom in progress-- the family arabian stallion mold. I will be updating pictures as he now turned she comes along! This is a picture of what the mold kinda looked like before I started re-sculpting it and sanding it down. The model I had was in less-than mint condition with lots of scuffs, and an ear chip.
I took off his tail, took off his stallion parts, gave him--now her-- anatomically correct mare parts, re-sculpted the tail to make it look more arabian like, added more to the mane to make it more flowing, sanded all the seams and removed the logo, carved out the ears, gave her a new ear, carved out the nostrils, and carved out the hooves. I also bent the front leg more.
You can see she looks really ugly right now, but I see potential in her silhouette.
