Phoenix’s Pony Frodo
Yeah I thought about the heat on the horses too. On a large Breyer a little heat might be ok but on small thing and parts like legs it might melt the plastic.
Jennifer wrote:I have a set of the heat-set oil paints (Genesis). Their cost was prohibitive to me and the colors not so good. I was also sad that I couldn’t varnish them. That and I work larger than what I can fit in my oven and cannot invest in a heat gun just for this. So they sit, in their tiny expensive bottles. :/
Golden makes a line of acrylics that stay open for a long period of time, days. They don’t dry fast and are thick. They behave similar to oils. I ultimately went with a different brand though because of pigment load out.
Yeah the Genesis heat set oils are pricey 🙁 I was lucky to get all of mine on clearance at Hobby Lobby or otherwise I don’t think I would have gotten them. Genesis now makes a varnish for their oils and a cheap embossing gun works great in place of a heat gun. I think my embossing gun was around $10 or so.
It’s funny how prices are different in different towns and places. I’ve always stayed away from Golden acrylics because of the price LOL
I love heat set oil paints. They don’t dry unless you heat them so you can work on something for a super long time. But sadly clean up in about the same as normal oil paints, but not as messy (if that makes sense) I’ve tried 2 bands of water-mixable oil paints and well they just felt too much like acrylics. Maybe other brands are different but I found them not to blend as well. Have you ever tried gouache? It’s a thicker watercolor like paint that blends like a dream. 🙂

This is more of a soft sculpture than a true “plushie”About 35″ long from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail. Wing span is just over 30″ and dragon is over 15″ tall. Made to sit of your shoulder. Dragon is made of muslin and then hand-painted. Claws and horns are hand sculpted polymer clay and eyes are glass doll eyes. It has a complete wire armature so everything is posable down to the toes!
