Imaginary "Phoenix Ranch" / Customs by Shanti

Oh wow, that's a lot of kind words!!!! Thank you so much, this kinda saved my day!

Some little progress on my new grey drafter. This will still need hours to go.. I will not entirely copy the ref pic. I want the mane and tail a bit grey. What do you think?

Looking really good! I love your dapples

I'm starting to develop dapple envy....

How do you even do that o.0!!
It looks really nice already, can't wait for the result.

It's super sweet shade of grey. The paintwork is really amazing
I think the yellowish white mane just like the one on the reference photo would suit him very well. But if you feel more like adding some grey I'm sure it will look great too!

Lovely customs! And the white briddle is just... Awesome! O.o

Looking so good! The dapples are like perfectly copied from the stallion in the photo Cannot wait to see him ready!

Thank you so much friends!! You are truly supporting me!!!

The little grey is finished. Hope you like him!

Meet "Mont Blanc"

Wow, just wow!!! And the photos on the snow agh, amazing

Abolsutely gorgeous! And for so small model you did so great job

Wow, wow, and more wow! Really fantastic! How do you do the dapples?

Thank you, thank you!!
It is not easy painting the details on these small horses. The eyes really give me some pain.. And sadly to say but the mold of this drafter seems to be worn off. The details on the face are vanishing. Maybe this one will be the last of my little conga and I will switch to a newer mold.
@LeeAnn: I use pastels and apply them with a tiny tiny brush.

Must be a very tiny brush!

Yes, they are actually called "microbrush! and the come from railroad hobby. The look like this:

Oh this is interesting! Thank you!

I am so totally, completely in love with that "Mont Blanc"

Look at him !!! That face, - the expression, the woy he looks at us

And the name is great also, - both for the colour, and...isn't it a brand of high quality colours ?

'What a model
What a color
Just wauw !
For such a tiny horse he looks bigger then a house
And crazy awsome those snow pictures
(.. Hate my country at the moment, for only having 5 cm of snow when i have to go to school)

Thank you, thank you!
@Susanne: Mont Blanc is a manufacturer of high quality watches, leatherstuff and pencils etc.

Thanyou for the information

Ohh, I am SO curious what you are going to make for your lovely horse

Thank you Susanne!
Working in this scale needs some extra time, good light and lots of patience. This is getting strenuous..
