Totillas anyone

Picked up the only one they had at the local tack store. The other I have was nicer so under primer he went. He will have some chrome yet. I was going to do another color as a show horse for myself but then I had an electrician out for work to restore power to my house so now he is a sales piece!

now to catch up on sculpting projects, I have three neck-less rubber legged models to bring back to life!

a new color!?!?

Saw some ref pix of silver buckskin and I had to try it! Its not too far away from the dunalino color so I figured I could pull it off. It started looking like a real nice smutty palomino or dunalino again but once I added the silvery areas it was back on track. When I searched around for more ref pix I found theres a bit of a range in color so I kept going with it and I love how hes turning out. This paloose cm happened to be up next for painting so thats who I experimented on :)

or maybe hes better as a smutty pally, either way Im happy with him.

Pipsqueeeeeeeek

Hacking up a Wintersong

is a lot of work, its not easy to get that tail off, theres a huge solid chunk o plastic under there and the mane isnt a whole lot of fun either, even when you remove the whole neck with it. But heres what 30 minutes of flying plastic bits and sweat will getcha. Now hes pretty rough yet, needs a bit more work on the back legs, the head and neck I just eyeballed and taped in place tho I think it looks pretty close to what I was going for. And his back needs work. The forelock will go, not sure about the ears yet. Somehow his head is so much more appealing and sweet now. I think its because you can see his eye.

He was inspired by Braymeres blog on Draft horse barrel racing but I think he will look good in a few other performance classes too (because I just have to!). Hes not going quite as all out extended as the ref pix, I wanted him a bit more versatile. I'm thinking short mane and possibly docked tail but depends on what breed I decide to do him as. Im not willing to remove all the feathers so he will have to be a clydesdale, vanner etc type.

Leftover parts!
