Spring is finally here!

Spring is finally here, and that means I can work on the horses more :D I have so much more energy when it's warmer, and the temperature in my 'workplace' (read: garage) is getting more pleasant each day.
As for projects, I have a few horses laying around that I'm working on. First up is a breyer Terrang model remake into a hunter pony gelding. I just have to dremel a little off the top of his neck (which is a little heavy now) and sculpt his braids, tail and boy parts. He will most likely be for sale unpainted when he's finished.

His face needs a little more refining too.

Eek! The flat-faced-pony syndrome! Will have to fix that too...

 
I also have a Weathergirl to play around with. Thinking about doing just a simple headturn to the left and a new mane/tail.
 
And last but not least, I have a project that I have been working on for ages. It's a Breyer Midnight Sun model reworked completely to a Tennessee Walker stallion in the traditional TWH stance/stretch. There is not one part on this horse that was not resculpted, reshaped or reworked in some way, except for his eyes. There is so much work to be done on this guy still though, but with spring finally setting in I think I can get him done in a few weeks.


 
So yes, plenty to do this spring :) I am particularly excited about the TWH stallion - he's only my second super drastic custom, and the first that has had so much resculpting work involved. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can finish him into a beautiful showhorse.



Highland pony

Finally got this little guy done for Holly:







 
And I have another G3 Highland in the works for her, so those two guys will be heading home soon :)

Off with his head!

Eeeek headless pony! :O

It just suddenly fell off...
 
Pffew, got it attached again with some wire :P


 
Will work on him today some more, and will upload more in progress pics of him later :)
