LeeAnn's Model Horses *Updated March 24

Wonderful forgoten warmblod!

I got him home and put him in the glass case right away, completely forgetting to take photos until I realized I was missing his page in the show binder! Thanks Rogério!

What a lovely gift The wooden stand makes him look very exclusive

Wow, that Fjord is perfect (I wish he was released in plastic!)

Love Harriet's molds. I hope very much that she'll make more molds for Copperfox. Drafters ofcourse. She can really capture that kind and a little bit sad expression, that I think especially heavy horses can have.

And I'm really finding now there's so much more detail in ARs than plastics - I'm glad he's not plastic. The detail is just incredible!        I've been bitten bu the resin bug, hard.

That's interesting I have yet to see an AR in person. I still would love to have a plastic version of that beautiful Fjord anyways I think not that the Breyer one is good at all. Cute, yes, but a strange mold. If Copperfox expands to European breeds in general, I hope they'll bring a good Fjord for the people

Interesting!

Thank you both

I'm torn as I do not know which one of these two I want to add to my collection

What are the pros and cons of them both? If you had to choose only one, which should that be?

I really love the paintwork and finish on Glitterati... But I just really am not fond of the mold.

Don't Look twice is just this charming lady and I love the mold, but I think her 'lipstick' and rabicano looks a little... not as nice as the job Glitterati offers

Well, all I ask are your opinions and impressions on these two

Great great new horses! I'm getting curious where do you keep all your horses? Not running out of space?

If I had to chose one naturally it would be Don't Look Twice, but that is only because I can't show Glitterati but I can show Don't Look Twice. I always say that I only buy a horse if I can show it but Glitterati really won me over. He's stunning! And I don't even like glossies! He's quite large too.

Where do you stand on glossies? If you don't like the gloss then maybe Don't Look Twice is better for you. There are a ton of variations in Don't Look Twice, so if you're concerned with the rabicano markings then you can wait for one on the secondary where you can pick one with just the markings you want. I'm a huge fan of Roxy in general, just an adorable mold and very correct. Love the face. The eyes are a setback though, I'm not a fan of the pink eyewhites. Makes her look like she has pinkeye. However with her color it's not as obvious.

Maybe, just get both.

Thanks! Running out of space most definitely. Rearranging works wonders though. Right now almost everyone is packed up for a show though, now I have plenty of space!

Thank you very much for the feedback Hmm... I love gloss actually, and nice to hear that Glitterati is a large mold. I think gloss make models look more 'exclusive', even though I do not prefer gloss for all models, far from.
You even wanted him, although you can not show him, that is quite a thing for a model in your collection I guess

Strange with the very pink eyes. That seem to apply to the Polo Pony as well. Wonder if that is Breyers new style of eyewhites?? But Picasso does have normal eyewhites right? (And Glitterati too for that matter)

I suppose Glitterati is limited for 2015? And Don't Look Twice will most likely stick around for longer than that.

I could of course get both .. Eventually.

Theoretically you can show anything, but he's not going to (or shouldn't) place, so it's just not worth showing him unfortunately.

Hmm good question about Picasso! I would check but he's packed up right now.

I don't think Glitterati is limited. At least not a low release. He's still a RR, he'll be around for awhile.

I missed something... Why can't you show Glitterati? ( father Gelato and mother Mazzerati )

There are so many new molds that are much more detailed and correct than Glitterati. The Western Horse was sculpted in 1950. Compare that to a class full of Latigos, LP Sprinkles, PS ISHes, maybe a Roxy CC Shuffle 2013 BF surprise model, and you've got extremely stuff competition that will, or at least should, place way above Glitterati. To be honest, unless Glitterati is the only horse on the table there's no reason he should even come in the ribbons, let alone the NAN cards. Of course, you're welcome to bring any horse you feel like to a show, I know a lot of people who bring models to shows just because they like the model and like seeing it on the table. And they know that model won't place. It's just a fun model. But for me with such a huge string and especially living in Region 9 (eek!)... no use bringing him.

What a seroius hobby  

... ... ... Me wants Fratellini Canneloni Glitterati WALKAROUND This guy already won his place in the STS pantheon

Serious or nuts, I'm not sure.

I can do that You lucked out - he's one of very few that aren't packed up!

Nuts are serious things (Squirrel proverb)

I can't wait to see it
