Please note the Blue Sharpie of Death. The X on the pattern from January of last year (dang, I've been in this for a year now...) signifies that that pattern is no longer in use :) The baggie of pattern pieces on the left is on it's way out...it will only be around long enough for me to check the differences between the old pattern and the new. Then, it's time for the Sharpie...<br />

Yesterday, I bought a sheet of aluminum to use for english saddle trees. Yeah, I was using soda cans for a while, but that aluminum tends to be too thin - by the time I glue my leather to the metal, I can't get the aluminum to bend and hold it's shape. <br />
<br />
So, I invested in a thicker aluminum that, so far, is cooperating very nicely.<br />

Not to mention I got in trouble for losing those tweezers on several occasions, so I made sure to buy two pairs this time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is killing me.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Have any of you recently browsed the tack section of Model Horse $ales Pages? If not, please do so before you read on.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Do you see what I see? I see a plethora of tack, at what I consider high prices, for what I consider low-quality tack.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is it just me, or is there something wrong with this?<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I understand that people are broke nowadays, and tack making seems to be a big draw to make a buck or two. But, seriously, it looks like a two-year-old made that, and you’re charging <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what</i> for it? Please, alleviate my illness and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">do you research</i> before you stick a price that looks promising to the seller on an item. Because, trust me, that won’t look appealing to the buyer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have listed some of my tack for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cheap</i>, and I mean <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cheap</i> online. But it never sold. Is my tack not worth $150, or even $100, or even $75? Please, be honest, and if you’ve seen my tack before, please let me know how much YOU think I should sell my tack for. Because I want to be making a good hourly wage for the time I put into a tack set!<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Seeing the high input of low-quality tack at high-quality (or even medium quality) prices, I find it harder and harder to catch good-quality tack makers’ work, especially since I use photos of this stuff as references to help make MY tack better…<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What do you think?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I personally think this means I need to make some tack just to give people something realistic to look at, even if they don't buy it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />

<br />
(Once again, Blogger isn't cooperating. I'll check back later to see if I can post pictures.)<br />
<br />
The customer is the third or fourth owner of the gaited saddle I made to fit the Peruvian Paso mold. <br />
<br />
(....won't load pictures.)<br />
<br />
Anyways, it was the first time I'd ever done anything so drastic as fitting the saddle to a specific mold - which turned out to be neccessary for that model. The Peruvian Paso mold is very short-backed, and his high headset makes his neck get in the way. <br />
<br />
I wasn't comissioned to make a bridle, however, because the customer ordering the tack already had a bridle they would use with the saddle. I just said "It makes my job easier!"<br />
<br />
Well, now, the saddle is with a bosal bridle - it's nice, but for some inexplicable reason the browband is way, <em>way</em> too short.<br />
<br />
So, I have been commissioned to replace all of the leather on this bridle with new leather that 1). Matches the saddle's color, and 2). Fits the poor horse's forehead.<br />
<br />
After all, the saddle has NAN'ed already - why not give it a winning bridle too? ;)Noble Farms Custom Saddleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08669808298596273280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214443103988482211.post-75523513032295940632011-12-22T08:28:00.000-08:002011-12-22T08:28:39.689-08:00Friesians on the BrainTitle says it all :D<br />
<br />
I have a Gem Twist body sitting on my desk. I was hoping to sell it, but so far no one has claimed him. A while back, I saw a Gem Twist model someone had transformed into a bowing Friesian.<br />

I can't remember. All I know is that I seem to have lost all inspiration for tackmaking. But, I've been painting lately, so at least I haven't completely abandoned the hobby.<br />

I'm still keeping hte name of Noble Farms Custom Saddlery for the tack side of my "business," but Pendragon Studios will be the whole of my efforts, including the tack part - think of it like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtKVuaRoNafMORjSJMn20YXn34N3BUCLQArJTP1gw0v3zRnDHoLHNTqwkKdEYTL390mnTHzGhVaDGeA89Q5mzRmKJKXYxSVNcRKXuCEcyULKc5p0xJFKY9VbMlaWA17Ne_Ligu9XtNQRA/s1600/Web2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtKVuaRoNafMORjSJMn20YXn34N3BUCLQArJTP1gw0v3zRnDHoLHNTqwkKdEYTL390mnTHzGhVaDGeA89Q5mzRmKJKXYxSVNcRKXuCEcyULKc5p0xJFKY9VbMlaWA17Ne_Ligu9XtNQRA/s320/Web2.png" width="320" /></a></div>So, you get the gist of it - I just need some change over here. (This is what a month-long break from school does to you.)<br />
<br />
Also, I am thinking of turning my painting "skills" (or lack thereof) into a Pet Portrait service - for folks who want a 3D model of their horse or dog, I can paint them a model of their pet! I figured this would be a better way to reach out to the non-model-horsey people in my area, and keep from flooding the model horse world with my, uh, practice pieces.<br />
<br />
Please let me know what you think in the comments below - and don't worry, as soon as I have extra money to spend on tack supplies I will make more tack!!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: white;">Last night a friend of mine had me listen to Lucy,by Skillet, a Christian heavy rock-style band. I love their music (I had to buy their latest album this morning!) and this song is no exception.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">Listen to it first here, on YouTube:</span><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhDOHks7OQQ&feature=share">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhDOHks7OQQ&feature=share</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">Now you're ready for the review.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">I had an idea of what John Cooper, the lead singer/songwriter, was trying to get across with the lyrics, and trust me, I knew it was a sad song - but I really had no idea what it was about. So, I searched the song in Google and got this Wikipedia page...hopefully it's trustworthy:</span><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Skillet_song">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Skillet_song</a>)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, anyways...a very touching song, whether you're a Christian, Muslim or Atheist. ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And sorry it's not Model Horse Related....there's just not much horsey stuff goin' on over here right now....till tomorrow ;)</span>Noble Farms Custom Saddleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08669808298596273280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214443103988482211.post-2857182582300193892011-10-29T14:02:00.000-07:002011-10-29T14:02:02.393-07:00Hey!!

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.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">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.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">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!</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">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. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was wearing a glove on that hand, but he now has giant fingerprints in his primer...</span><br />

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!Noble Farms Custom Saddleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08669808298596273280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214443103988482211.post-17814841080216571772011-07-04T07:09:00.000-07:002011-07-04T07:09:16.248-07:00On 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....<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In the meanwhile...<br />

<span style="color: black;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span><br />
<em><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi All,<br />
I just got off the phone with my sales rep and sent out a newsletter to our members. <br />
Here's the details-<br />
The Models are called ThunderStorm which is a Black with half a stripe and a snip and 3 white socks. Partly Cloudy is the Dapple Grey Pinto and then Sunny is the super cool Palomino with 3 hind socks and a star/ half stripe.<br />
The fourth Free model is named Rainbow and we can only guess at what that means! MAP Price is going to be $44.99 ea.<br />
<br />
They 'should be' ready for dealers to order around the begining of March. The mold will only be available this year and then will be 'Locked away in the Breyer Vault until 2016" <br />
Of course like last year, dealers will receive random assortments and we can't order just one color.<br />
Unfortunetly ,I am anticipating these selling out early like the Drafter TH did last year and Breyer 'running out' for extended months. I'm crossing my fingers they see this coming too!<br />
<br />
Tommy</span></em><br />
