Imaginary "Phoenix Ranch" / Customs by Shanti

I really like the fjord!

On the off side, where the neck meets the shoulder it looks odd, I can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps it is too long? It might just be the angle of the photo, the show side looks fine. I think what Jonas is getting at is that the front right leg needs to moved forward a tad, the muscles aren't quite lining up

Yep!

Thanks for the hint! The Fjord is still making trouble….
But the little guy is making progress, started painting him today. A new kind of grey for me, still needs a lot of work

Oh brava!

So far, you managed to translate your example picture from the book into 3D perfectly!
Sweet job Shanti.

Oh, looks lovely so far! I love this kind of grey (alright, there's no horse colour I don't like ), I can't wait to see the finished model!

Beautifuuuuul!!! I just can't wait to see it finished!

Oh, my, this is amazing this grey horse
It looks so amazing and real. I think this is perhaps one of most difficult shades of grey to make. The dapples that are small and far away from each other are very tricky, they can sometimes make quite strange effect but yours look just perfectly natural Can't wait to see it finished

Well done Shanti

You're so talented wth gray colors! This's another lovely small horse.. Looking so good so far!

Beautiful work again, your paint work is exceptionally good!

Oh my... what a gorgeous grey! Love it, and that color really fits him!

Thank you so much friends!!! Really appreciate you support!
I finished the little Percheron today, hope you like him. The photos aren't the best, we have pretty bad and dark November weather around here…

Oh my ... he is .. AWESOME !! how you do him !?!? Great work !

Shanti, he's stunning! And thinking how tiny these models are! Wonderful work again!

I too think he's stunning! Amazing work Shanti!

Hope I like?!?! He's amazing! I love him!

It's wonderful I like the dapples and the grey/white tones on the head

Stunning danseur Congratulation

Thank you so much!! It was some fun customizing this little guy! I like these small Breyers a lot..

What a great little chap again. That colour seems to be really hard for many, myself very much included, to get right - but you've captured it very true. It's a beautiful stage of grey, and suits the mold very well. Shall we see him next in some tack, perhaps? (I'm ever hopeful.)

Lovely dappling Great work

Thank you thank you!!

The little Percheron will get some tack later, next project is finishing the fjord and that one is really stubborn…

What a nice little guy!

Very realistic grey! You really nailed the color! And I love the details of the yellowing tail, and fading face!! Well done!
