Deborah McDermott has released her new CollectA Ardennes stallion as a resin edition.
You can find him on her etsy store.
The model may not really be 'new' but the resin edition is.
I really like him and quite like the idea of having a resin one, there is definite temptation here!
Anyway pictures and to purchase:

Premier Club Blind Bags
If you are a Breyer Premier Club Member this year then the blind bags are back!
I've entered on the assumption that if it is a model I don't want I can either sell it on or donate it to Cantering Carousel next year.
Although secretly hoping for either a Bobby Jo, who can then go off to Deb Brown, or one of the year 1 models (I still don't have them)

Bella Rose
MPV have got a new special run to add to their lines and she is rather gorgeous.
MPV WIA Special Run Isabella Worth's Bella Rose is around Paddock Pal scale and made from rubber.
She is a pretty reasonable price and a rather lovely sculpture, if I had any spare pennies I'd definitely be getting a few, I'd like to have one to paint!
She's €8.50 and available here: http://shop.modellpferdeversand.de/MPV-Exclusive/MPV-WIA-Special-Run-Isabell-Werths-Bella-Rose::560.html

Like Lightening
I'm rather proud of my yesterday self.
Why am I so proud? I got this headcollar completed and shipped the same day as it was ordered! Yep that's right the SAME DAY!
I'm so proud of me.
Also quite a nice headcollar. I like the leather design, it always looks so neat.
I should name this horse at some point...she is my live show demonstration horse/tack making horse/general dogs body. She should probably get a name...

CollectA Horses Update
Hello everyone :)
Well it's an exciting week here, loads of updates and pre-orders finally being shipped.
For me that's great, because I've managed to get the pending orders on my website down to just 18, which feels nice! That said I know a lot of you are waiting on CollectA models.
I chased up today and can confirm we have shipping dates!
Nearly all the horses will be with us late June.
The two mid year releases, the Grevy's Zebra and the Black Forest Stallion will be with us late July (shown below)
Which is great because it means all being well they should be in stock in time for Perfect Purple Plastic CTF Live!!!
You can also pre-order these lovely horses at www.chestnutridge.co.uk

Juniper
O look another gorgeous collector's club model I won't get picked for *grumbles*
Juniper is the latest Collector's Club special run. Interesting pattern, definitely very different!

Tack, Tack and More Tack
Just when you think your on top of your orders then *poof* more tack to make. Although at least for a few minutes today I had a wonderful moment where all tack was complete and I could go back to my obsessive Classic scale tack making.
The final order I had to complete was this stud girth. Unfortunately my patterns have all vanished so I had to create a new one, but I'm not sure I ever had one large enough for Traditional heavy horses so may have had to do a new one anyway!
Stud girth is made from brown leather with padding and silver hardware.
I'm intrigued as to what the new owner is planning with a heavy horse size girth!
I do like these, they are pretty simple to make but they are very effective once on the horse. They also mean you can use up odd bits of felt for the padding that are marked (in this case it had drawings of what looked to be a rabbit on it, no idea)
Anyway that is off to its new home today.
Which meant I could spend some time on my obsessive Classic scale tack making. This week I've moved on to head stalls. Unfortunately I'm already out of two slot halter rings so a prompt end has been called, but quite happy with the two I created.
This one is black leather with silver hardware and has been made to fit my ever patient AQH mare.
Some day little mare I will paint you and you can go out into the world and have a more fruitful life than as part of my body box.
For the second one I decided to do a slightly larger one. This has been made to fit the more modern Breyer classics which are a bit bigger, I needed a suitable victim, as there was nothing in my body box I had to choose a shelf piece that was already not LSQ. In this case Mariah (who lets face it is never going to be a show horse)
Again I went for black leather but I chose gold hardware for this girl, more out of necessity than anything else as those were the only halter slots I had!
Both of the headstalls are for sale at www.chestnutridge.co.uk and you can also order your own stud girth (or headstall) to be made to order.
Tomorrow I may move on to rug making, although the lack of templates may mean new template creating!
