Say Hello to Goose & Mountain

Are my model horse names getting worse? Most probably.

Anyway, first up is CRS The Man On The Mountain (Mountain). I won him in the raffle at OMG Orange. He's really pretty :D

No automatic alt text available.

I really love winning random Breyers in raffles. They are often models I'd never have gone out and actively bought but they add to the collection, and some of them are so lovely in the flesh. This guy is definitely an example. I also think he is my first plaited SJW, I'll need to check, but pretty sure everyone else has long manes!

And secondly is CRS Grey Goose

No automatic alt text available.

Goose was my Christmas present from Brendon and is RubberNed number 17. I'm loving these little Nedlets, they are so cute!

Holi

Holi will be one of the store specials at BF this year and I'm well excited because......ELEPHANT!!!!!!!!!!

OMG Orange Other OF & Newcommers Live

This weekend we ran our second live show of the year. OMG Orange Other OF & Newcommers live was a bit of a 'everything else' style show but was a really great day! The show had sections for Schleich & CollectA, Commercial Resin, Commercial China, Other Plastic CTF, Other CTF & Newcommers.

There was such variety in the items being shown. Everything from Breyers in the newcommers section, to Schleich to hand made horses!

We are pleased to announce that we raised £92.00 for the LGBT Foundation which brings our running total to £240! We still have five more shows to go, so let's see if we can hit that £500 mark!

On that note - there are still spaces available for our next show, Crazy Citron Clinkies Live! So if you would like to attend please get in touch :)

Anyway, onto the pictures (which I know is what you all want to see). You can view all the photos here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154918587135155.1073742029.689360154&type=1&l=d147eed4af

And here are my selected highlights :)
