Countdown

Painting, Painting, Painting

My hands are now pretty much always covered in paint and I had a massive fight with my airbrush (we are just about on talking terms again, it has promised to behave as long as I maybe use it a little less) but I am making really good progress with these customs. I am now working on a rate of painting one a day! That's quite impressive when you think one a month was an achievement before lockdown.

Even the custom category on the website actually has products in it for once! That is quite unusual: https://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/store/c3/custom-finish#/

So here are the new guys :D

Come Undone

First up is 'Come Undone' a Breyer Stablemate G2 Shetland that has been painted to a light bay. He has a little white star and a single white sock.

Commander

Second is 'Commander'. Commander is a Safari Mini (Toob) Shire that has also been painted to a light bay.

Communitarianism

This is one of my favourites of the bunch. He is a Peter Stone Chips Friesian that has been painted to a star dapple grey. A really dramatic looking model.

Communication Breakdown

This is the first of the new Mini Whinnie unicorns to be painted. This little guy had his horn removed before being painted to a dark bay with a white star.

CRS Calcareous Earth

Alchemy is a gorgeous Maggie Bennett micro resin 'Aquilla' who has been painted to a light dapple grey. This one is joining my ever growing herd of tiny resin things! He doesn't seem too pleased about it though...

Black Friday Boxes are Now Available

This year we are not running our usual black friday sale. Instead we are offering ten specially created Black Friday boxes.

Each box contains a Breyer Traditional, one custom and at least three other items.

The cost of each box is £50.00 and you will receive at least £75.00 worth of products.

There are only ten boxes available so you will have to be quick! To order please visit: https://www.ukmodelhorses.com/store/p200/Black_Friday_Mystery_Box.html#/
