OKAY! After 2 hours, she is done! Well almost done, I just need to do some mapping around her unfortunate paint work. She came to me all scratched and bumped, and I was going to show her just as she was, but I got the CMing bug this afternoon, and now .... she is a paint Another sad etching job, but Ill get there eventually, plus she looks HEAPS better now!!!!! And I suppose thats all that matters Whaddya think? She looks great tacked up in Western tack! And, I was thinking of either showing her as a ASH mare??? Any suggestions? I want her to be a smaller horse, maybe around 14.2-15 hh, she was a thoroughbred, maybe now a TB cross??? She would look sooo much better with ears forward, but one can only use their talents without screwing up another perfectly good breyer

She is the Thoroughbred mold- She is called Cupid in a recent release, and comes with a foal. I got her for $25 bucks on ebay! What a buy! I think Im going to call her LP Mahogany Queen or something with mahogany in it! She could be a pintaloosa, I am so uncertain about all these things !

Awwwww youre too nice!!!! Honestly. the blaze did her good- I dunno if it was the sculptor or if she was just a mutant, and she was a vintage so she wasnt sculpted very well. Her seams didnt join properly, she had A BOOF HEAD WHICH IS SOO HUGE! And her ears pointed forward would improve her sooo much. She isnt easy to photograph, you have to get to her good side, and she wasnt great as a bay.... oh well these things happen! She looks ok now, but i will fix that paint job!!!! I didnt even attempt a sock, her legs are so wierd= so badly done, there is such a difference between recent breyers and vintage breyers, I love the new ones because of their smoothness!!!!

She's gorgeous in the western tack! She reminds me of a horse I used to ride. In the bottom picture her head almost looks like a real horse! (looks like TVs are good for more than one thing hehe ) Her paint markings are a bit strange. Did you look at any pictures while doing it? But like Gaff said the mould doesn't usually look that nice.

Yes her markings are very strange arent they? I based them on a friend's pinto, but had to extend certain areas to cover the scratches that she came with! One side has more markings than the other! oh well, I can always extend her to a FULL pinto, if you get my drift.... At least she looks better than what she was before- all rubbed and scratched..... I just have to get around to actually finishing her, because now I realised i rushed it a little, and would prefer some mapping and make her look a little nicer Shes a big boof head, isnt she??? what bugs me MOST is her ears! They make her look grumpy! And she has the biggest eyes- like one of those chunky goldfish!!! booogle- eyed!!!! Thanks for the nice comments! I feel mushy and loved inside

Wow, she's gorgeous Amy! She does look a heck of a lot nicer than she did! She actually looks like a real horse, and yes her blaze really did do her good, from what I can see! I think the paint markings could be evened out a little more, with more white on her off side You should stick her in the CM show! We need the entries and she'll do well Oooh and looking at her again, I think if the very top of her tail was whitish, then maybe a bit of her tail could streak into black? Just an idea, but that might be a hassle

Yep, to tell u the truth I think I will extend her markings... she looks a tad uneven, she has a whole lotta bay on one side and the other she is a paint! And, I might give her a stocking if I can get the etching instrument into the crevaces between her muscles... boy that sounded wierd.... And, her blaze looks okay..... would love to give her a blue eye but that might make her look even boofier.... any ideas? And, I will give her some white in her tail....... thanks!

Congrats on the hockey game!!!! I used to play hockey, but stopped coz i was soooo pathetic it wasnt funny.... remember a few times where i was flying- had the ball in my stride, got down the other end, scored a goal! I was sooo happy... until I realised I had shot a goal in the other team's net...... what could I say? I was only 5 or 6 at the time!
