My 20 Best Custom Models

 Today I'm sharing my 20 best custom models with you. All these models are custom finish model horses. These include simple repaints as well as horses that have had more detailed resculpting. I tend to favour a simple repaint over a more dramatic custom and that can definitely be seen in my top 20 models.

I also definitely have an artist preference! If you've followed my Blog for a while you'll definitely realise that I'm a girl who knows what she likes and collects what she likes! Afterall isn't that the most important part of collecting?

These models have been determined by their average point score from live shows. To work this out I take their total points and divide it by the number of shows that the models have attended.

Which is your favourite out of these models? Have I managed to introduce you to a few new artists you may not have thought about before for your models? I hope so! There are some really lovely little models here and for all that I do love a Deb Brown custom there are some nice examples from a few other artists as well.
