WH CINDER

Introducing WH Cinder. Breyer mold #639. This classic scale model has been painted with acrylics and pastels to a bright metallic bay following a reference photo of an unclipped arabian foal. Details include glossed multitone eyes, hairing details, glossed hooves and nostrils with outer and under hoof details as well as a sunburnt effect in her mane and tail.

You can find her listing on Ebay, alternatively leave a comment or a message if you have any questions about this model.

Balthasar Resin by as part of Christmas On Mane Street 2024.

I am head over heels in love with this lil dude! He came with his certificate of authenticity, stickers AND an incredibly squishy pony pouch for safe transportation. I am struggling with ideas for his colour but I need to do more research into donkey breeds, I am learning so much! Thrilled to have a Longear resin in my herd finally!!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the land,
There's no motivation for projects, not a twitch of the hand.

But ones been sitting, awaiting a promised 'clean'
And although it's not ready yet, it wants to be seen.

So trot up unpainted ponies, but be quiet as a mouse!
Venti boys by - you've got a new house!

I couldn't resist! This stable was meant to be stablemate scale but as you can see - I missed the mark by a fair amount 😂 the resin herd looks great in these photos and just gives me more motivation to finally paint them! The stable is very much awaiting it's promised clean up still, I'll probably attack that after Christmas. I want to smooth the walls and clean up the glue in between everything 😅 and then make it look dirty and lived in 😃 but I had great fun creating these scenes for you, I can't wait to retake them once the ponies are painted and the stable is complete!

So beyond proud of my first performance set up! Legion and Abbie are their names and they won English Ridden performance and went onto win 3rd overall performance against some super hot competition at the show last Sunday. I made the bridle from plaited leather cord and and made the snaffle rings from wire, the saddle is a customised stablemate tack piece that i added a new girth to. I customised a breyer stablemate rider to create Abbie (named after my little sister) She is both painted and partially sculpted by me. I have more western and English stablemate sets that I'm going to customise in 2025, I'm really looking forward to improving my skills and getting better as I produce more performance entries 😁

I WON HER 🏆 🤩

At the BMECS Sunday raffle, this was the prize in my eyes all weekend 😀 I fell in love with this Upsie Callie Pewter painted by when they posted her and announced she would be a raffle prize, picture me putting cash aside JUST for her raffle cup 🥰 anyways, I won her and couldn't believe it, she had a little wobble and lost some paint so had to go back to Teddy to have a bit more mud applied 😆 she's home with me now and is in pride of place in my resin / stablemate cubby. I seriously can't wait to take her to some shows 🤩 she's jam packed with details, from the caked on mud to her spotty appaloosa face and belly, hoof stripes and shading in the tiny braids sculpted into her mane. I ADORE THIS GIRL 😍

OH, her name is ShezaDirtMan (you all know the song right? I can't add it on IG music but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking aboutt?) my other painted piece by Teddy is ShezaSassyStar so I decided to keep the trend and incorporate the name Teddy kind of had for her.

Bmecs 2024 Project - The Little Mer-horse

Some close ups of my little gold fish for you all to enjoy! I've been blown away by all the love and kind kind comments for her in my previous post so thank you all for your sweet words and shares!

Now a little bit about the material i used and how I made her. The Worbla comes as a flat sheet of clear plastic, tracing the arch of her neck and tail onto the plastic i created cuts in the model in both of those places and inserted the worbla. By heating the it up and cooling it i could manipulate it into the position and shape I wanted. Although I used a heat gun for haste, this can be done with a hairdryer also! Gravity was my friend, and I used it to create a 'flow' as if she was twisting in the water, I replicated this flow into the seaweed on her base to make one comprehensive 'movement'. Once stuck fast in all the right places, i continued sculpting individual scales to 'seal' around those cuts i made in the model. The fins on either side go deep into her body and I sculpted a kind of 'muscle' above each one to help the eye flow over and enhance the movement in those areas. She can stand without her base (many people thought she was stuck to it, infact it's the perfect shape and supports her perfectly. Even a wobbly table couldn't shift her once she's on it! ) her fins and curved tail support her really well although I think over time the fins would bend out of shape so for now she stays on her coral. She can sit in many different positions on her coral but this upright position is the one the plastic was sculpted to flow with.

Worbla transpa art cools quickly on its own although I did use my breath to cool it down faster, and is a really easy material to use in this way as well as being affordable! I really hope to see more customs popping up with this diverse material as there's so much you could do with it. I painted hair details matching her body colour to give the illusion of the mane / tail fading into fin lines, and i could paint straight onto it without any primer / base laid down first. While sealing the model with matte spray i did get some on the worbla, but a gloss layer cleared it right up!

🧜‍♀️ BMECS 2024 Project "The Little Mer-Horse" 🐟 🐠

What can I say, I have an endless love for the ocean, fairytales, fantasy creatures and horses that all came crashing together that fateful day in 2009 when I saw a collection tour on YouTube showing a hippocampus type model. I've wanted one forever and decided toward the end of 2022 that i wanted to Try. Researching fish and wondering how i could equify them was not a sentence i thought i would need to describe my activities for much of my 2023 autumn, but there we are. Unawares to what I was looking for in this research, nevertheless, I found it in the fins. Fishes have a translucency in their fins, delicate, weightless, water - bending fins.

! 💡 !

It took a loooooong time to find the right material, actually it's the only material I found that could do this job (for me). Worbla transpa art

BMECs 2024 HAUL!!

I am SO impressed with the goodies I managed to buy at bmecs this year (and the goodies I won!!)

After watching the clinkies classes I decided I wanted to dabble in painting China for the first time so I acquired the two animal artistry models as 2nds for a great price! (First two pictures) the unicorn and cat has been a mini grail for the longest time and I'm so happy to have a blank!

The third image shows two 3d printed zebra stallions in different scales, the larger one i bought cast by and the smaller one they donated to the raffle and I won! One of them said 'rainbow pastel stripes' as I picked it up so we will see.

The fourth image shows my little collection of resins from , a couple of 2nds of molds I really love and a GORGEOUS teeny mini Thistle I won in the raffle!

In the 5th image you'll see a pearlescent porcelain pair i got from a free bin and a lovely little Spanish stallion mini that just needs an ear repair and some clothes 😊

Finally my breyer body haul is in the final photo, except for the ridden Morgan who came in her box set and was promptly opened as soon as I got home, although a little yellowed she's a really fabulous colour and the theme for next year is Wild Wild west soo I may be keeping that team together.

There are a few other bits from the raffle I'll be waiting for to come in, so I'll share them asap! For now I'm getting the ball rolling on that little halloween event I enjoy putting on every year... stay tuned!!

Home from another magical Championship and while I have my feet up (before I tackle unboxing, record keeping, organising and reboxing) i have a moment to reflect and share with you all some of the highlights from this weekend 😌

Our story starts after a weary fisherwoman makes the (not so long) journey up to Leicester with her catch, a golden merhorse that took three weeks and two years to tackle (sculpt and paint). The Merhorse entered into the Best Of British fairytale scene class, got some amazing positive feedback and made lots of new friends 🧡 I saw some true works of art this year (like every year) that blew me away, I'm honored everytime i qualify that I get to stand in the ring with some of the most talented and kind people In this hobby. Of course I am over the moon with my placings (Original finish, Workmanship And Custom) but my favourite part of bmecs every year is just to catch up with hobby friends, chat, explore and just be in this hobby together.

I set out to make some sales to make room in my workspace for new projects and I did that but also to my surprise and delight, I sold some custom work too, and was delighted at people's interest and enthusiasm over my pieces. (Even ones I didn't set out to sell!) So thank you to everyone that bought a piece by me, I hope you love them for years to come!

Although I had less classes this year, it didn't take away from the fun and im glad it gave me more opportunity to see everyone's herds, I've come away from this weekend so inspired and with a treasure trove of new blank resins and ideas to leave the gate open for 🐎
