Imaginary "Phoenix Ranch" / Customs by Shanti

Thank you so much my friends!!!

Wow!! This is stunning! I typically don’t like when custom plastic horses get “real hair” because the effect sometimes makes it look toyish or unrealistic but what you did really pulled off the feel of a real horse! If it was standing in a field I would not be able to tell it from the real thing!

This is such a nice comment [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]!! Thank you so much!!

Wow! What a wonderful painting and these mane and tail who make him so alive!

Incredibly beautiful and so full of character. Thank you for showing!

Normally I don't like fake fur on animal figures as it tends to look a little gross, but you did a fantastic job with it, just absolutely beautiful.

Thank you!!!

And another dog repainted, the new Schleich Bull Terrier. I didn't like the of color very much so I tried the plain white bully color with some black.

Two different ones = 5 times so good
As always you did a great job , - just look how much better the paws look

The repaint really makes the expression stand out more, it turned out quite adorable.

Thank you very much!!

Wow!! he looks amazing now, so so much better than the original! Your painting makes me realise that the actual sculpt isn't bad at all- it just needed a talented painter like you to give him another coat! I love the paws with the subtle pink shades, and the more gently blended colours compared to the original- I love him, your dog repaints always amaze me!!

Thank you so much Bonnie! I knew this sculpt wasn't bad just the painting was a bit odd. I think I need more of this dog in varying colors!

Lovely transformation!

Yes, that would be beautiful!

Repainted this nice Schleich Husky I got in a surprise bag. Didn't like the of painting and tried this red Husky color. What do you think? (It needs a proper harness and wheels for the sleigh     )

Looks great, an enormous improvement on the original. The face looks very life-like.

Looks great, a huge improvement.

Thank you so much!!

Ohh wow I am so in love with this repaint! Really interesting colour choice, you have painted it so delicately whilst still bringing out the fur texture and the details around the face and eyes look so realistic! Schleich have actually just released a red husky using this mould but your repaint is infinitely better! And I love the photos you have taken of your husky too :)

Thank you Bonnie!! I am very happy you like this color choice!
I later found out about the new Husky by Schleich. Will check how this one looks!

Wow, love it! I love that color on huskies, and you've captured it beautifully. What a lifelike and beautiful face.

excellent transformation! well done! I really like the face and how it just looks perfect that way :)
a HUGE improvement on the original

Thank you so much Jill and sunny!! This means a lot to me!

I participated in NaPaiMoPa again this year but I was late and I did't finish in time. But that didn't matter because I am more than happy I started and finished this cute little horse since I kept him in a box since 2015.

This was the original model, a classic size solid drafter by BHR (http://www.equineresindirectory.com/showresin.asp?resinid=870)

I didn't like the docked tail and the mane had so many flaws along many other faults. So I decided to remove the braided mane and add more tail. Overworked the hoofs a bit, making them a bit smaller. Carved them too. Managed to break an ear during working on him.

In the end he was ready for some paint.
