    Hi,

    I’ve painted several of the Windstone PYOs, and discovered that I have a real passion for this type of thing! I’m really happy with how all of them have turned out. I was wondering if any of you have other sources than Windstone for painting sculptures. Windstone’s runs are so limited that I’m looking for something that will tide me over until the next batch of PYOs become available. Thoughts? Thanks for your time!

      I just started buying some blank My Little Ponies 😳 I know there are some other sites to get actual sculptures from though and a few other members buy from them I believe.

      The ponies are cheap and fun to paint in my opinion though 😀

      Do you have a local ceramics shop? I used to paint the little ceramic sculpts for years before Melody released the PYO’s. 🙂

      Here is one I am very proud of. Even though, I hadn’t learned the fine art of thinning down the paint yet. 🙄


      You can’t see all the colors in the waves because yes, it was taken in my bathroom. 😳
      (Yep it is dry brush technique.

        Every year Harmoney Kingdom makes a pyo that is given out at thier yearly convention. You can find these on ebay. I’ve painted a few of them myself:

        otheres pop up now and then, there is an oriental dragon, turtles, a frog, parots, and a few others.

        If you want to torture your eyes, you can try your hand at painting RPG miniatures. LOL

        Reaper miniatures are good, and Ral Partha is now Iron Wind Metals.

          Oh yea, I have quite a few ceramics lying around too. My mother was a teacher for over 30 years. I have some bisque you can have if you just want to pay to ship it.

          I need to look and see what she has on hand. She’s been retired for years now and we have a storage area with TONS of bisque that just sits and collects dust.

              Well, these aren’t even remotely similar to Windstones, but there are Munnys. I love looking at painted ones on deviant art, although, the original (humanish?) form is still my favorite. Also, there are plastic or resin horses you can paint if you like the equine form. And someone else mentioned pewter miniatures, which, depending on the design, some aren’t to tiny, like some of the dragons and such (Or at least, 10 years ago they had some larger pieces). Still itty bitty details though…

                  I added some links to my first post. 😉

                  Omg!! I LOVE those pythons!! 😀 So CUTE!!

                  I don’t have any suggestions, other than maybe combing through Michael’s or JoAnn’s for those little kid sculptures, but hey, it might help with small space details and textures (tiny kitten anyone??)

                  That reminds me… I’ve been intending to buy one of these sometime. I just keep forgetting (or purchasing other stuff)…. 😳
