The final highlights, the last coat, and one very proud maker. 🐎✨
Our little horse commission is finished, and I can finally share him in all his bronze-and-gold glory! 😍
This is the part of the process I love most: seeing all those individual stages come together. From the 3D print to the sanding, preparation and layers of hand-painted colour, every step helped bring out his character.
Warm antique bronze, gold highlights and touches of teal patina settle into the mane, saddle and all those tiny details. I wanted that aged-metal feel, with enough contrast for the decoration to stand out without losing the warmth of the finish. 🎨🩵
I’ve spent so much time with this little guy that packing him up felt a bit like saying goodbye! 😂 He’s now carefully wrapped, with his courier booked for his journey to his new home.
Thank you for following along with what we’re making at Nova Forge. Being trusted to turn someone’s idea into a piece they can hold is something I’ll always appreciate. 🤍
Have a closer look—what catches your eye first: the flowing mane, the detailed saddle or that bronze-and-teal combination?
