Very nice Damon! I agree that he looks like a 'real' stallion now

But really, look at the original model, it's .... Small !!

Thanks everyone

Really nice !
Omg can't find the correct words
The open mouth is a real new thing for the model horse world
accept for the customs, i think you did an amazing job!
The color is also really nice also one we don't see in regular lines
Love it

Thanks! And yes, that's the reason why people like to customize their models, to make something special :)

I already found out he has a crack in his leg, means I'll never be able to sell him anymore, unfortunately.

You should be able to fix the crack! A little bit of super glue and baking soda or apoxie clay will fill it, then touch up the paint.

I updated my website with some pictures, you can see some at this page I didn't post in this topic :)

Lol, I always wonder why that's so important. For me, it isn't. I just want to make a stunning model, haha

For me a breed is important for showing purposes only. Many major brand horses don't even look like the breed the brand is assigning to it, even if it is a fair sculpt. Of course, made in china horse blobs don't work for any breed, let alone a horse. But for example, the Schleich QH looks nothing like a QH to me, more like some sort of grade horse or an American Mustang.

Breeds are often important for ARs too. A sculptor creating an ASB rather than simply a "gaited horse" is much more appealing and less vague and confusing.


Hope that makes sense.

It does make sense for me,

But I don't show or don't do anything with my models, except for having them in my own home or sell them :) that's why it's for ME not important, I can understand it might be for others

I actually understand what you mean I know I shouldn't always think which color are allowed for shires, or holsteiners.. I've been trying to paint my horses without thinking so much 'the right" color or breed. I just wanted to know

But I also agree LeeAnn, good point

I'm sorry for the sad photo's .... I miss my camera really bad
