Four New Customs

 First of all I must apologise for the poor photography, I'm not properly set up yet (the whole model horse situation is just chaos and disaster right now) so I can't take decent pictures! I'm trying to persuade the husband to actually sort out the pony room so I can get some decent pictures soon!

The one advantage of the NaMoPaiMo parties has been that I've actually been able to get on with some customs. All of these models were started last June which gives you a bit of an idea as to how behind I actually am with them! I quite like the black but I'm not over the moon with the rest. They are all for sale though and finishing them off means that I can focus on some new models, many of which I'm much happier with so far!

First up is a little mini whinnie foal. She's been painted to chestnut.


For some reason I got the light right for that photo but the rest are awful!

Secondly we have a G3 Peruvian Paso to liver chestnut tobiano. This model was originally a plain liver chestnut but had to have a colour change after I spilt white paint on him. As you do. Anyway he's now tobiano!


Third we have a black G4 Driving. This model has lots of shading that you can't really see due to the darkness of the photos. Once I get set up properly I'll redo these glamour shots!


And finally the unicorn. This is an odd one as it changes colour depending on how hot or cold it is. But it seems a bit stuck at sorta blacky/grey rather than the nice purple! Very much a "I will experiment with random things" model this one may suit some tastes, but not others. I'm sure there is someone out there who will love her!


If you have fallen in love with any of these guys they are all for sale on our website here: https://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/store/c3/custom-finish#/

I'm currently working on the last few that were started last year and a few new ones including a gorgeous bloody shoulder resin and my NaMoPaiMo horse of course!
