All of the info is in the ad, but here are a few extra pictures for you anyways:

Finished Projects

I haven't shared any photos of my finished models as of yet, so I think today will require a little eye-candy:

The palomino is now complete! The photos will magically grow like those water towel things if you click on them...


And now..........DRUMROLL PLEASE.............






LANDCRUISER!!

I love him 8D I am really happy with how he turned out for my first drastic custom - maybe not LSQ, but I don't care!

That blue eye was fun to paint XD

New Custom WIP Pics

Yup, you got it - another custom in the works! I also have another one that is currently being "worked on", but his photos will have to wait.

For now, though, some pony cuteness is much needed:

Meet "Harrison Fjord", a Breyer Newsworthy jumper pony turned Fjord! He's had a little feathering added to his hooves, a new mane and a new tail. (yes, his mane is the classic "Punk Rock" look.)

Okay, I will give you a litte insight into the whole "punk rock" thing. My family would occasionally drive past a few places that had a Fjord pony out front by the road. Their forelocks and manes (trimmed or not) always made me and my brothers think of punk rock dudes - so, they became known as "Punk Rock Ponies". I crack up every time I think of the title XD.

Anyhoo, he has a small slot under his forelock so that the browband of a bridle can be slipped easily underneath the hair - cool, right? Mebbe not, but as a performance nerd, I just HAD to do it!

(as stated by Laura Skillern on her blog, "Don't Eat the Paint" - click to embiggen!!)

Unfortunately, while I held him by his tail for his prepping session, his tail - which must not have been well attached - suddenly did this to me:

In case you can't tell (or you've been staring at your computer screen for too long and your eyesight is all blurry) yup - that tail went CRACK and if it hadn't been for the armature in there, little Harrison would have gone SMACK into the cement I was standing on.
So, because the pony was about  to go from almost six feet in the air straight down to his death, I gave him the death grip around his barrel - which was covered in still-wet primer.
I was wearing a glove on that hand, but he now has giant fingerprints in his primer...

Can you guess what I'll be doing this weekend? Yup...more sanding.

My other obsessions...

Okay, so obviously I love anything model-horse-and-miniature related, and anything horsey,

But, another thing I love to do (besides tackmaking)

and customizing,

 Is also making videos:

And writing - stories and scripts...the scripts for movies :-)

(these links all go to my videos - all of them are clean and perfectly appropriate! Feel free to check out my channel and other videos as well!)

Sound interesting? I sure like it...

I am currently working on a script for another movie (with real humans, not Breyer models XD) and I have a few more props to pick up (and actors to confirm :-/) before shooting begins!

On with his coat....

Okay, okay, so i knw everyone said that "his neck is toooo long!! Shorten it!", I had my qualms about hacking into him (again) and trying to make his neck shorter - I would mostl likely have caused myself not only more work (obviously), but hassle, stress, and it would have been a nuisance to try and make him perfect....

So, just a clarification - I know  everyone gave me advice (his neck is too long), and thank you for it! I really appreciate it - but, sadly, I decided to leave it - he is only my first drastic custom and I'm willing to let it be a flaw and learn from it next  time.

In the meanwhile...

His color looks more orange in that lighting, but I htink his neck looks less-long (:-/) with his main coat color on. (he'll be getting his pinto spots today).

So, if you're one of the folks who gave me all that wonderful advice, now that I have not heeded it you're probably cursing my name...if not, you will be soon.
