Breyerfest 2015

My tickets came today!

Wow! That was fast. Hope mine show up soon.

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with being the next state over, but still I'm surprised they're here that fast.

Man the entertainment this year looks pretty sad. Seriously a parkour group?

Yeah... no thanks.

I've not bought a 3-day ticket as none of the SR models appeal to me.  I'm hoping the 1-day ticket SMs will be interesting though.

As for a better mold to represent the guest drafter - the old trad Friesian or even Llanarth True Briton could have been used.  At least both of those mold have manes and tails!

Llanarth would really tick off anyone that shows though.

They're using Llanarth for one of the "Best of the British" horses and most people aren't happy about that.

I think Roy is nice enough, if just they had given him a long tail. I just don't get why they haven't done that. It would spice him up so much. And they did have time to resculpts stuff for the Marwari... put perhaps they only had time for resculpting one mold? Hmmh

Yes, of course!

There's a very good chance it wasn't possible for them to give Roy a new tail. Sometimes the way the molds are configured an alteration just doesn't work. Take LP for example. They've done all kinds of different tails on her but because the way the mold is they can't fix her weird head. Also, if a change is made to the mold they can't go back to the first version and make those again. Once they make a change, that's it - no more old version. That's why we only see long tail and swish tail LPs, no more short tails.

Tomorrow!

Interesting with the molds I know not much about how it works exactly, so if they simply can't change a specific thing, I can forgive a little tail Simba/Roy

By the way, looking forward to see photos of your models found at BF LeeAnn

Any news ?

It was very hot, lines were ridiculous, but other than that I had fun Got a lot of models and spent a lot of money!

How wonderful that you had fun
Did you take any pictures ?

Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures, I have a few of the real horses though

I managed to snag 3 glossy quelles.

This was my first year as a vendor and I was a bit surprised that Breyer staff is a bit abusive if a vendor dares to step foot outside the arena before the gates open.
It's not like we were going to get in line for anything, we just wanted to get some fresh,slightly cooler morning air after finishing our booth set up.

That stinks! Geez, it get hot in there! Congrats on the 3 glossies though, wow! What a consolation prize! Who did you get? I got one of each color - all matte except for a perlino in gloss.

I kept meaning to tell you - I saw you in my one SR line! I caught your nametag out of the corner of my eye but then we parted ways to get in line and I couldn't get over to talk to you. I think we were both standing around and I asked you how they were sorting out the two lines under the tents

Ah, so that was you! Small world, the SR line is lol.

I managed to get a chestnut pinto and 2 of the perlino.

Haha yep! Karen Deitrich was next to me in the one line and we chatted too

Oh nice! I didn't care for the perlino in matte and kept hoping I didn't get one, but I opened my 3rd Quelle and he was a glossy perlino... I changed my mind on that
