April's Photoshow is OPEN!

I hope you are all enjoying being inside, or being outside and risking the life of yourself, your family and all those you love so that you can serve your community (YOU ARE AWESOME PEOPLE).

Well if you are stuck inside may I recommend you pop outside to your garden and get some pics of your Traditional scale models because this month's photoshow is all about Traditionals!

It is open to all makes and models, the only requirement is that it must be approximately Traditional (around 1:9) scale. So this would include Breyers, Stones, Customs, Resins and anything else you happen to have that's about the right size.


To enter you first need to be part of the Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1493893527541574/

Tiny Breyers

A few days ago Breyer posted this picture on their Facebook page:

No photo description available.

The wording (and the fact that it was April 1st) gave many to believe it was an April Fools joke.

They said:

Rugged Lark, one of our most beloved stock horse sculptures, first debuted in 1989. With his calm expression and quiet gait, this fellow is sure to be a welcome addition to Stablemates fans’ herds – the coat color of this particular release was inspired by one of our later Rugged Lark models, Patch.

Well turns out it was an April Fools joke. But also SAVAGE Breyer savage. So much shade for one o your own moulds!

Anyway the real fan favourite Stock Horse Mould mini is...SMART CHIC! Look how tiny and cute he is in ickle form:

I can definitely see this theme being replicated for the BF Single Day Stablemates. It would be really cool if they were all mini versions of the bigger special runs!

So what moulds would you like to see in tiny form? Personally I would like:

Silver
Clydesdale Mare (to go with the ickle stallion)
Clydesdale Foal
New Welsh Mare & Foal Set (they would be ADORBS)
Bobby Jo

And wouldn't it also be awesome if they did it the other way round and did big versions of the ickle ponies? Imagine how poor I would be if they did a big G2 Appaloosa....
