the person that create this one called Carmen, [ don't know her last name,] I think she did a pretty good job!

Congrats!

Actually, are you sure he's painted? He looks like an etchie! This would be the original model:

 Well , the seller told me it was painted...... what is etchie? I can see that it's the same mold, but painting is different...
she send me the first picture to show me how it was before.....

That's interesting, I'm 99% sure he's an etchie. Nothing wrong with that of course An etchie means you scrape the paint off the original model to reveal the bare white plastic underneath. You can see how the markings are very similar, but she extended them. The tail is really the giveaway for me, you can see it's still airbrushed OF.

But don't worry, he's still very nice and no less of a custom, just not repainted.

I saw him on MP also, but he was reserved already. Now I know who bought him
Congrats, repaint, etchie, doesn't really matter because it is a very beautiful horse
(Although the seller wasn't honest though )

Maybe the seller ment to say "repainted", as in: a different paint scheme on the same Breyer model?
Just like Schleich brings out the same horses every year, but in a different colour.
You could call those "repainted" as well.

Anyways, I think the horse looks even more wonderful after the etching.
Congratulations!

A beautiful horse, however he got his markings !

I don't know, seller claims she painted it, I do find that the brown paint is darker and matt [ not glossy]and the tail is not as shiny,
to be honest I don't care, I like him .

Maybe they put a matt varnish on the model after the etching, to save it from scratches and such?
That could explain the darker and less glossier paint.

It doesn't matter really....it's a beautiful horse!

Congratulations
