I’m an artist (models and tack) and a collector and I’ve dabbled in pretty much all the things model-horse.

Another view, with the curb strap installed as a test fit (before keepers and tongue trim). A challenging aspect of this bridle was getting the fit exactly right to fit the buckle above the eye and still have room for the ear piece to connect.
It’s tiny! Here you can see the off side.
The curb straps with keepers and buckles (figured I’d make an extra now while I was at it).

The two cheek pieces. The tooling effect was created just by drawing the pattern gently with this needle punch.
The bridle is made of tooling calf and the hardware is from Rio Rondo.
Hi! Glad you enjoyed the interview! And welcome!
What a gorgeous piece! I don’t think I’ve seen one before. Amazing find!
Still trying to decide what to do for mine. Something simple I’m sure to finish? Or something more complex that I need to finish?
Possibly some tack for my new Bronnamor resin by Eva Rossiter.
Mlem is a Lemmy app that just got a big update, potentially worth a try also.
Glad to have you here! And I enjoyed our discussion yesterday!
Exciting news from Stone that they are now sponsoring a prize drawing for anyone painting a Stone body.
1·2 months agoFor sure! Supply availablity and all the amazing tutorials out there. Even just high quality images of other people’s work that has pushed the envelope of what is possible. ❤️
1·2 months agoWhat a cool collection you have there! Thanks for sharing!
I have a DAH mule on the way, my first Stone in maybe two decades. Really looking forward it!
Thanks for posting these, Anna! It’s so great to see the sizes next to each other, and of course for any kind of tack or accessories it makes an enormous difference in this size range if they are not exactly the scale you expect. For just halter/liberty, it doesn’t matter so much.
Another batch of bodies

Tossing in a few of my bodies, not quite so methodically arranged…

I think my victim this year is going to be a stablemate MFT with resculpted tail and ears. But, shockingly, I have multiple bodies in primer so the luxury of choice. We’ll see!
That’s the great part, right? All these new molds that we get, first in Premier Club, then as Breyerfest Special Runs, and then in the regular run line. You can decide which price point, paint job, and timeline that works.
This year they actually have the new welsh cob coming out in the regular run line a year earlier than usual, as Riptide the Chincoteague pony. That’s a nice surprise. I think he’s going to be super fun to paint.
Thank you! I really love this scale and want to try to put together some good performance in this size, with a rider too. I have some 1/18 scale figures that may work with some modifications, though this size, you have to get things right to the millimeter for it to look right.
