BreyerFest Special Runs - Prices & Numbers

If you have tickets to BreyerFest 2020 check your emails! They have emailed out the link for the form for you to fill in to say which special run models you want.

I have chosen the 'master list' option because I have four tickets (although the point has been made by Brendon that he wants the cow!) and my biggest fear is actually getting doubles rather than models I don't want. There are only three I really really want so I'm not too bothered by the others.

So here is my master list (I'd love to know yours) along with the numbers produced and prices which have also been released.

1. Slainte Surprise - $85.00 - 4,500



2. Brighid & Beltane - $65.00 - 1,600



3. Lugh - $55.00 - 1,500



4. Oak - $70.00 - 1,800



5. Boudicca - $65.00 - 1,200



6. Hamish - $55.00 - 800



7. Ash - $65.00 - 1,700



8. Thorn - $60.00 - 1,500



Thorn is going to be a matte/glossy split. If I get a matte I will be up for trading for a glossy!

9. Epona - $60.00 - 1,600



Share your lists in the comments below! I would love to know which ones you are after :D

I am going to be so poor after BF! This is definitely one of the ones I'm most excited for :D

Next Seminar - Judge Along!

I have five days to figure out how on Earth this will work and where on earth I am going to film it! I suspect we will be doing it in the lounge? But then how will we change classes? I have no idea. But I'll figure it out!

Our next seminar is going to be a judge along! This is your chance to be a live show judge and have a go at judging some models. I'll start by talking you through what we look for as judges and then you will have a go at judging your very own classes, entrants will be able to say which models they think should place 1st, 2nd & 3rd and why. See if you all agree and get ready for some probably heated debate!

This will be a really interactive seminar so the more people who join in the better :D Also a great chance to slag off some of my model horses!

Date: 5th June 2020

Time: 11.00AM BST (UK Time)

Éire

Eire is the souvenir store stablemate for BreyerFest this year.

Whilst I like the pattern I am not a massive fan of green, like I think you can have too much green and I suspect after BF I will have too much green!

He's a decorator on the Corbin mould:

Seminar #6 - Adding Some Sparkle

Do you like sparkly things?

Do you think the biggest problem with the world is there are TOO FEW sparkly things?

Do you want to know how to make everything you own sparkly?

Then I have the perfect seminar for you! Whether you are an experienced sparkler or a newbie to the sparkling world we will be going through step by step how to jazz up everything from model horses to headcollars to even dolls clothes! 

No longer will your shelves be filled with boring bland model horses, no more the disappointment as you stare at your worn out brown tack, no longer the sinking feeling you get when you realise your doll doesn't have diamante encrusted jodhpurs

Join us next Friday as we SPARKLE THE WORLD! Bring some glue and some sparkles and sparkle along with us, don't forget to share your sparkling creations!

Seminar Date: 22nd May 2020

New Peter Stone Mould!

Now I know I've been really naughty and stolen a picture off Facebook but I am just so excited about this I had to share!

Stone Horses have a brand new mould and it is sculpted by my all time favourite sculptor Maggie Bennett!!!

This is Remington:



He will be released in Traditional scale but they are offering some Pebbles resins this weekend if you head on over to their Facebook group (usually the best place for Stone news): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=249497304471

I don't care how many kidneys I have to sell I need one of these. They are beautiful! I think I want a bay...or a palomino...

Achilles and Patroclus

A couple of weeks ago I completed this Maggie Bennett Blitzen resin:



He was named Achilles because apparently every horse must have a Greek name at the moment



But then I felt kinda sad because I didn't like the idea of Achilles being all alone without Patroclus.

So it wasn't long before the next micro I was working on was nicknamed Patroclus. And not too long after that that the name stuck.

He is a Jessie pewter micro by Maggie Bennet (and yes I know not a stallion but we will ignore this).

Say hello to Patroclus:



They actually look really cute together! They now live together on the shelf, next to Persephone (I told you the Greek thing was getting out of hand)



So they can spend eternity together :)
