Another finished guy

Here is another one I finished recently. He is a drastic custom on the Breyer classic Arabian stallion (CAS).
Work done on him: new neck, ears, mane and tail. Resculpted legs into an extended canter, resculpted face with more details.
I then painted him into a very light grey with darker points on his legs and face.

 

Hope you like him :) There are more horses near to being completed, so I'll make a post about them soon!

Newly Finished

These two Arabian ladies are fresh off the work bench!


The first is an Arielle resin sculpted by Carol Gasper. I started her several months ago, but only got to finish her yesterday. She has many more details that the camera doesn't pick up on though! Such as handpainted hairs all over her body :P

This one is a Weathergirl that I repositioned slightly into a more relaxed trot. She has a new mane and forelock as well. Then I finished her up in a blood/cherry bay colour.

I made the halter too :)

I have many more on the workbench which are ever coming closer to being finished. Will make a post about them soon!

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 :)

 

Surgery - not only on plastic ponies this time

Hi all, this post is to let you know that I have *not* vanished off the surface of the earth! :D Yay!
Instead, I had surgery to remove my tonsils (not so nice), which is why I haven't logged on here much to how you some pretty ponies.

*BUT* I did make good progress on several projects and also started some new ones. Current list of older projects:
- Drastic CM Milton: sculpting 100% done, now in the painting department
- CM Stone Chips Arabs: both sculpting 100% done, being painted
- Several CM stablemate foals: in various stages (from missing body parts to nearly complete)
- two stablemate Highlands: both drastic resculpts - one nearly complete, the other one not yet started

And over the past week I have started remaking a Breyer classic Terrang:

Into a standing Hunter Pony gelding:


Not my picture, but used only as reference

He will have braids like these:

So far I have only chopped off his neck and head, and resculpted it. And I attacked his face...with a dremel... He's going to be cute though after some plastic surgery with epoxy :D
Excited to finally work on him again next week! For now, the doctor said I should rest, but it's only frustrating me that I can't work on customs...

Oh, and also coming up is a really awesome Weathergirl custom! She might be drastic, or she might not (I have not yet decided the exact position of neck and head yet).

Ok, I'll be off 'resting' again now ;)

Scary horse!

I have been busy working on a commission: a G3 stablemate Highland Pony mare to a stallion. The mane, ears and head were dremelled off (the head was attached again of course), the left hindleg was chopped up and reassembled in a relaxed position, and a part of the tail was cut off so I can resculpt it later.

He's looking scary! I will take pictures as I go through the resculpting process.

 

 

I hope to continue the dapple grey tutorial and post some updates on other customs when I finished this commission :)
