Fabio

Remember at BF last year the Collector's Club members got the chance to choose between three different splash models?

Well the winner is....Duende!

Collector's Club members can now head along to Breyer's website and purchase the latest Collector's Club release.

I really love him but I'm going to hold off for now. I doubt he'll still be around when the next vintage club model is released in June but a girl can dream :p If he is then we will test how well my travel card actually works online and spend some of those BF savings.


Facebook Live Seminars - Schedule!

Hello everyone :) So starting tomorrow we are going to be running some live seminars through Facebook live.

To view them you will need to be on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/chestnutridgemodels/

The full schedule is below. Seminars will run every Saturday. Hopefully I will also be able to save and upload the videos onto YouTube after but sometimes my phone is a bit funny about doing this. So no promises! I will add them to the pages story for 24 hours after though x

If you want to work along with the seminar I've added some supplies you will need. However, you don't have to and can just watch!

I will go live five minutes prior to start time to give people time to get settled.

Minis Minis Minis!

These little Breyer mini whinnie unicorns are so much fun to paint I've just ordered several more boxes full just so I have some more to play with! They are just so adorable!

Also I changed the settings on my camera today and look at the difference in the first photo! Go team me!


The first model is a bay on the new Arabian (Rose) mould. This model has been painted to a lovely rich red bay with two white socks. I wasn't sure about this mould at first but it is definitely growing on me.


Secondly we have a chestnut on the Firebird mould. This guy has two white socks and a white star. He has a lovely subtle colour.


This one is one of my favourites. As you can see he also has a nice subtle chestnut colour but I have given him a little snowcap blanket, two white socks and a white stripe. Such a cute little fuzz ball!



This little girl refused to stand up. So I added a base to help her be nice and steady on her feet. She has been painted to a lovely dark bay with a white star. The base is purple with glitter on! Because she needed to be nice and fabulous.
