More 2013 Models 'In The Flesh'

I've got a couple more sets of pictures of some more of the new 2013 models in the flesh.

First up is the Schleich Appaloosa Foal

The paint job on this model is appalling and it's all leg but I think once repainted it might not actually look too bad.







Second up is the new Breyer Morab mare.

Strangely this girl is growing on me, instead of looking like a bad model she more looks like just a really badly conformed yet very kind old mare.




Breyer Enchanted

What can I say I'm enchanted by the new Breyer collectors club model Enchanted...

Superlumia II

If you don't have any monies look away now :p

I just thought I would share this with you, absolutely gorgeous model in all respects!

For our American Racing Fans

Just a little news story which I thought some of our followers may be interested in. Rachel Alexandra (whom I'm sure you will all know Breyer made a model of) had serious complications during the birth of this years foal. She is recovering from surgery but her situation is very serious.

My Latest Photoshow Set Up

Today I had to do a photo for the front page of February's magazine. The theme of the magazine is 'Pony Club' so I wanted a nice riding lesson scene.

The set up is very simple, the backdrop is just a generic one that I own. The base is a piece of chip board. To make it look more realistic all I did was add some green scatter and then a fence where it ends. Then added a bit of lichen to make some little bushes and some tiny bits of cork and light brown scatter on the cork board.

So here is the set up:



This is the first picture I snapped with it:



Today's custom also looks gorgeous on it!
