My Favourite 2018 Breyers

Here are my Top 5 Favourites from this year's Breyer range:

1. Mason



I absolutely love this year's Horse of the Year. It's a beautiful sculpture in a really nice pose and the colouration looks lovely. Definitely adding this one to my show string!

2. Mystery Horse Surprise Stablemates



First of all who doesn't like surprises? Secondly what a beautiful selection of models. You wouldn't be disappointed with any of the choices from this set they are all really gorgeous.

3. Day Dreamer



Every year I add the decorator Classic to my collection and this year will be no exception. Day Dreamer is a lovely translucent colour. She is much much nicer in person than her promo pics.

4. Wild at Heart



No it isn't just because there is a G2 Appaloosa. The colour on all four of these Stablemates is really lovely, I particularly like the Reiner.

5. Suncatcher Stablemates



It was between this and the Glow in the Dark set but I think this is a really lovely and fun set. It encourages you to do something completely different to your normal customising and the pieces actually come out really nice, even with limited skill!

Four New Custom Schleich

I started these guys in December but I've been so behind with everything they have only just been finished!

But on the plus side they are all finished and up for sale :)

First up is Casanova, the English Thoroughbred Mare



Painted to a lovely golden champagne



Second is Casino Royale, the English Thoroughbred Stallion



This one has been painted to a red dun



Of course you couldn't have the Stallion and Mare without the foal. This is the English Thoroughbred Foal.



I went for a lovely red bay for this one



And finally is the new Zebra mare



Obviously this one is stripey :p



All have been listed for sale at: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/customs--resins-231-c.asp

Dionysus - 2018 NaMoPaiMo Horse

I did it! I finished him off quite late last night and I'm so happy with him :)



He's the AA Carousel Horse, I bought him from Donna's box at a show last year.



I added the pole myself, it's just a perspex rod with a bit of epoxy putty to give it some detail



His base colour is palomino, done in airbrushed acrylics with pastelling and hand painted details.



The costume has been done in three shades of hand painted purple, including a nice metallic one for the blanket



The detailing was done in metallic gold



He is then finished off with Swarovski crystals



I have named him Dionysus, I wanted to go with Midas but as you guys know I already have a Midas, so I went with the next best thing :p



I'm so happy with this one, it is so nice to paint something for yourself that you love
