Yay! Hurry up and get going on it! lol! Seriously, I can't wait to see it. Cheers, Karrie

Okay I need to get these posted and then crash so I can go to work tomorrow. Blech! First, I promised photos of the horse's mane since I went back and used pigments on it. So here they are: I personally like it better. :) Over on CMON, some friends and I were discussing...

There's the blacksmith! Great job Roger!

Finally! Mane and Tail Improvement Okay I got it now. On the mane and tail, I struggled with paint, glazes, and layering, I kept pushing and not getting what I wanted. So as I painted the other parts of the mane, primarily the forelock, it dawned on me I can still use my pastels and...

PS - and then I'm done, I promise! If anyone wants tack or something to add to these guys, I know how to make some of it and can put you in touch with a tack maker whose work has won national awards. Yes, these horses are tiny and as you can see these guys don't have any tack. Tack makers in...

Horse Trading: This is the last, for now.... Okay last post and three horses - I'm going to keep it brief so if you have questions or want more pictures, drop me a PM. Spinnaker 1:32 scale "anything horse", usually works well as a mustang or any grade stock type. $75.00 +s&h...

Horse Trading - Cont'd. But wait! There's more! Mini Majestuoso aka Mini Maj. 1:32 scale (54mm) Andalusian Stallion. He also works wonderfully as a Lusitano (same country different region - Luistanos can be a variety of colors Black, bay, bucksin, etc. Andalusians are primarily gray and...

Horse Trading Continued - New Resins! Okay second up: This one is one of my favorites, so I just might change my mind about selling this little guy. 1:32 scale (54mm) Mini-Fabrizio Stallion. I believe this little guy was sculpted for a Dartmoor or Dale type pony but give him spots and he...

I love Tamiya Fine Surface Gray and White for my resin horses. I need tooth for the pigments but if I get too much the pigments go grainy and it looks awful and takes a long time to fix. With Tamiya I get good coverage without filling detail and enough tooth but I can also "sock out" the model...

Sometimes my reach exceeds my grasp. The mane and tail on my reference horse are very different from each other. While Mother Nature, in her great artistry, can pull this off on a living animal. I find my limited skills on a static model falling woefully short. I wanted to do my best to...

Thank you Gordy and Carl. Perhaps it is because the resin horse industry is still very small. While Breyer has been around since the 50's and produces thousands of plastic horses a year, the resin horse industry is still very small, very entrepreneurial. There are only a handful of casting...

No worries Adrian! Posting it here is fine. And now you have me curious. lol! Cheers, Karrie

Hi Mark thank you very much for the info. Due to my hand tremors, I find using an Xacto quite hazardous to both me and the model. I use a carbide scraper which works wonderfully on plastic, white metal, and my resin horses. I imagine it would work with this as well. The model horses are...

Wow! First off, please allow me to apologize. I never thought posting my question would cause such a furor and it was not my desire to hit such a hot button topic. I appreciate both Jesus and Chern for their responses and working to make a customer happy. My only intent with my original post...

I honestly don't know. It came in a box with a nice quality label. But no blister like Guy described for Cedric. It was wrapped in bubble wrap and tightly wrapped in a plastic bag. I got it from the CMON store and the label says CMON is the US licenser. So if it's a knock-off, I think CMON...

Thanks Gordy! I had a feeling there might be a huge variation in resin but the model horse industry is surprisingly standardized. The Breyer horses are injection molds but the resins by the independent sculptors and sent to companies for casting are rotocast. I did go back through and to a...

Hey Jim, Yes, it's very bendable - I can bend the sword easily. It looks and acts like plastic but the feel of it is different. Like it has a slight texture to it...it's hard to explain. Years ago I purchased a Greater War Demon figure that's resin. It feels more like plastic than my resin...

Hey I'm LOVIN' that mane and tail! lol! Very nice! I want larger pics tho. ;) I'm thinking it's more or less a foundation as the tones are pretty even. The highlights on the horse are also nice but I don't know how far you are going with it so I don't want to say it's a bit too strong and large...

I'm going to post this here because while I'm not new to figures or to the hobby this is such a basic question...I'm almost embarrassed to ask it. I purchased a Nocturna figure The Usurper 54mm. At the online store where I bought it, they also carried other 54mm by this company (Cedric of...

No worries! Horsie pictures of any sort are always welcome in my thread. But I did respond to your post with my thoughts. While the range of colors you have to chose from might be a little daunting, if you pick something that is a bit toward the non-standard (for models not horses) side, such...
