I think her color is very nice and i really like how the feathers came to justice with these colors
I don't have a name for her but that will :)

"Flamenco"

Thank you all for the nice words.
I will make more wings in the future
it was very much fun to see them camming a life with the feathers

I made the tack to you see in the pictures
(the bigger tack on the collecta is to big i don;t like it)
the smal tack is very nice how it came out,
its so tiny that it is even to tiny for a breyer stable mate!

That a great name omg i never came up with that myself!
Flameco it is

Dummy, very nice work!
Though, I have to notice these foxes, I didn't know them yet and if you ever find more foxes like these, please let me know. I am sure I have some horses to you customize.

Wow, you are busy! The horse with the wings looks very interesting. Is it made out of you imagination or did you make it after some movie or so?
The dogs are very cute, which brand are they? And the foxes are cute!
The tack looks nice also, the last one is very tiny!

Thanks for the nice words again

Dogs are 2 ''in my pocket'' and one barbie (matel) the pekinees i really don;t know
Thanks for the compliment about the tack took some time
But i find those little tackssets easer to make then the bigger ones!

next i will post maybe some more tack

Firsts of all ": if i ever find some foxes i will let you know Roger :)

And then the new custom i was working on
(crappy mobile photo quality but i haadd to show him :))
His new name is No money No fame (short; Fame)
He is a brown brinddle cutting horse
(first he was the old lippizaner stallion)

I know i maybe made his left (vieuwers right) front leg a bit to long XD
And i still need to work on my painting skills.
I really want to try something else then acrylic paint sometimes :)
But i really like the way the brindle came out
I just did it with a wide brush, just one with not a point at the end and NO water.

Let me know what you think

Have a great day,afternoon, evening, night

Thanks Dum-my!
You're really working in something quite unusual! I could never guess what it was before. Unfortunately I am not the perfect person to give you suggestions. With some luck someone see your post and give you a useful feedback!

sow i really don't know why anybody exept for Roger has seen  my brindle cutting horse but i have found some time to make a few more:
First up 2 i bought in a lot with other horses;
A buckskin grazing mare and a cremmelo? foal on her feet.
I don't know if buckskin can have a cremmelo baby but i don't really care haha.
They came in with  nice base colour zo i kept it
i only made the deatails a little bit more smooth and the eyes more realistic.
I still need to work on my eye skills.

And for my other horse i tryde i patern i never used before; leopard
This handsome guy was allready a nice piece
but as soon as i got him customized by somebody els i knew i needed to make something out of him myself!
Sow he is know a Noriker gelding (i dind't make him al stallion) with nice long mane!
I jused different pictures to get the pattern right what do you guys think!?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

De last pictures are with his buddy i bought that was given me the idea that this coldblood makes a perfect customhorse.

Sow thank for wachting again and tips are always welcom!
Have i nice day

Very nice horses!! I think the bridle pattern came out really great! And the Noriker, is he made from old Schleich chestnut cold blood horse? With your custom work and this new pattern he remind me of Willem resin He's looking really lovely Are you still going to work on him? If I would suggest something perhaps the hooves could be a bit darker and maybe with the stripes, as it's often seen in leopard-spotted horses. I think he is my favourite from your customs at the moment and I think you did great job
Cremello foal is amazingly cute and the buckskin mare is lovely also!

Unfortunately forum is quite sleepy these days and it is not nice to see some posts ending unreplied. Collectors are more dispersed than ever and when Summer time is coming, things get relatively quiet. I hope this community recovers the strong activity of some previous years when even Summer time was very participated with people posting around and everywhere. I am glad you keep showing your works even if the feedback is not as you expected.

Nice job with the spots following the hair grain.
It looks very realistic.

nice repaints

Thanks a lot the pointer of the hooves i will try to make it right soon!
Sometimes i feel like a horse is never done but then i just work on it till i think: oke know its nice.
Then later i see something en start working on it again this horse was like that XD

No worries is will keep up the posting no matter how many responces i get.
Its way to much fun
And its funny because with so many poeple from all over the world it winster somewhere !!

You're a strong-minded and a positive person, I like that!

Gosh ! I missed these last entries, and they are so beautyful

I am so totally in love with that little, fuzzy BEC-foal, - it is just the cutest thing ever

Geat repaint of the "sportspony". The poor thing always looked a bit dull, but now she is beautyful, and of course, being buckskin, she is the mom of the BEC foal

You surely did a beautyful job on the Noriker gelding !!!! It must be very fifficult to get the spots right, and keep making them even all over the model  But you did it perfectly well

His dark chestnut friend is gorgeous !!! It is amazing that they are basically the same model, - fantastic work you did

You made them all look very pretty, Demi! Well done!

Sow i dind't had that much time to make anyting lately but i will put up one i made reacently.
I had a pony when i was yonger and it was my first very own pony his name was Rakker and he was a gelding around 8 years old (i was the same age that time!. he was a welsh mountain A pony. i had him for 6 years then  became to big for him to ride and we had to sell him.
Later he got selled again on a horse market website... but i dind't had to money to buy him back. sow i let him go ones more. Know with my age of 23 i don't know if Rakker is still a life ore maybe he is not,
but i made a custom to honor the little pony who was my friend for so long and made me win so many prices in the dressage sport

(pictures are very bad (he is not this yellow/grey in real)
Let me know what you think and i hope this doen't make anybody said ->
i will remeber  the good times he gave me, always!

That's a wonderful homage you did to your beloved pony. The piece is magnificent and it looks very faithful to the original animal. Frankly, I love it a lot!

Thanks a lot Roger!

A wonderful story, and a wonderful model of your childhood friend

Yes, 23 is a high age for a horse, but ponies can get quite old , - perhaps you can still meet him somewhere ?

I hope he i grazing in a nice green, little, maddow with lots  of horse friends.

I have  made some alteretions on the leopard noriker;
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Some extra  dots and striped hooves.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And i found some time to finnaly try pastels .
I dusted and  dusssted ...
what a work!
i was working at 2 horses at the same  time to not  have to whait  so long for the layers  to dry after farnisching them.
Then i was satisfied with one horse an  wantedd to give him a little extra ssso there came the acrilic paint again.
I have  made a lot of misstakes with my ffirsst paasstel horse ...
I really know i will get better with some time and praktis.
all tips are welkom!
Meet Buck (after  his color and after 'winter soldier' from marvel)

Greeting

Buck looks dreamy!
Nice job on the transition between colours on those legs and muzzle. Very nice

What a great idea to use a scenic castle as it is De Haar Castle as a background to your Noriker. I think horses and castles work perfectly even if we are talking about a relatively recent castle. It may also mean that you are interested in historical places, what is something that I also think works nicely with horses. Learning about horses is also studying a little the History of their countries. So, you'll need an Austrian castle to show your Noriker next time.
I love also Bulk but I am not surely the perfect person to give you tips, I look at them and everything looks perfect to me.

Demi, this new horse is really beautifully repainted! I like him very much, great work with pastels!

And, haha, you used a photo of Kasteel de Haar as a background, how nice! I live 5 km from that castle and I go there sometimes by bike Now you gave me an idea about the new photo session of my models it looks really lovely with your Noriker horse

Roger, I didn't know you know so much about castles, you recognised that one so fast If you didn't mention it I wouldn't even notice it is that castle and I see this building like few times a month

Google was of help although I had an idea of it. Being a collector of postcards for 35 years also give some help. I love History and architecture and my favorite buildings are castles and churches. Lucky you that you have the chance of visiting or watching it so easily, it looks a wonderful building, there aren't castles like these in Portugal, our are much older and often half-ruined but I also love them. You can see here a traditional Portuguese castle.
