Not that I’m gonna let THAT stop me… 😈

So I have a nekkid Anuk su Namun, Sabir 2, Abu Asaalah, Jasmine, and possibly a Antar. How much is a dun paint job?

Hum… what shade of dun? Silver? Golden? Shouldn’t be too hard. 😀 PM me… I’m a smidge behind the 8 ball right now (especially with the show and moving soon…) but I could probably work ya in. 😀

LMK. 😀

Hey, I have a question, for horsey painting people.

If you totally screw up, multiple times, and start building up too much paint, how easy is it to strip paint off of these? I’d worry that the acetone would damage the plastic. Does it?

::grumbles!:: lost my post…

ANYWAY… Be careful of Acetone.

Acetone will eat away at Breyer’s plastic (And I’m pretty sure Stone’s plastic too…)

It will work… but if you soak the horse in it for too long it will start to eat it.

I use “Easy Off Oven Cleaner”… I haven’t had any problems with it stripping Resins or Plastics. 😀 Works WONDERS! 😀

I finished mine….now I just need to send it…hehe

So many people are sending theirs out already… ::wonders if hers is one:: I guess we’ll start seeing the results of this soon! Oh I hope! I can’t wait for more eye candy! 😀

[ladybrooklyn]

MAN I wish I had that problem too!!

My money is all tied up before I’m even paid. it’s revolting actually. 😛

Now if I could just get some more model horses painted…. or other horses sold…

Or if I just had money to buy a couple more PYOs to sell for $$$… ::sighs::

It’s frustrating…

Of course… I could always get off of my butt and organize my business receipts and get my CPA friend to do my taxes… but that requires a different kind of effort… 😆

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! I may try to paint one someday. Like I really need to start more projects!
What type of paint do you use?

That’s how I feel about the PYOs! I already have so MANY Nekkid Model horses…. I don’t need Windstones clogging it up too! And yet… I still do it! HA HA!

I use the same stuff I do on the PYOs… Pastel dust and acrylics. 😀 I started off painting model horses… so I’m more comfortable with pastels on them. 😀 But I’m getting it! 😀

[ladybrooklyn]

HA HA!

I started with horses… and now I’m getting BACK into these bloody Windstones! AHHHHHH!!!! 😆

A friend of mine just noticed the brown mother I won on ebay a few weeks ago… he’s all “I don’t remember this one! I like her!” ::snickers:: Still haven’t decided what I’m gonna do with her… keep her… or repair her for sale/trade…. 😕

[ladybrooklyn]

VERY nice! 😀 Love the scales!!! 😀

MAN you are making me want to paint more. 😯 I need mroe days in the week!

[ladybrooklyn]

Wait wait… Grandio is having a sale???

HORRIBLE influences. 😯 Oh gods… must get more horses for sale!!! 😀

What is LSQ?
And where do you get the blank bodies? I like the dunalino the best. Very nice.

😆 LSQ is Model horse terminology… just like CM or PSQ. ^.^

LSQ = “Live Show Quality” Meaning the horse is painted well enough to win in a Live show… Live shows are things we go to… and compete. You assign the horse a breed (in this case probably a Mustang) and it is placed in a class of mustangs. A Judge then judges the class based on the model’s conformation, and the quality of the paintwork. More detailed paintjobs, and ones without flaws, will place higher. ^.^ It’s hard to define. ^.^

PSQ = Photo Show Quality. Basically the same thing, only you submit photos of your horse to a show, and they are judged based on how you present the model. Often times… a horse that is PSQ will have flaws… but flaws that can be hidden and/or won’t show up in a photo… 😀

And CM = Custom. A horse that has been Customized from it’s original form… be it by repositioning… or just painting.

Me… I haven’t actually repositioned or resculpted horses yet. I just repaint. ^.^

And as for bodies… they arent’ really blank.

The two Nokotas started out as this guy…

http://www.handhwc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=001279&Category_Code=0006-Breyer2007

And the pony was this guy:

http://www.handhwc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=000707&Category_Code=0006-Breyer2007

So I buy them in those colors (or whatever is available from Breyer) and then paint over it. ^.^

But first sanded down the visiable seams from the factory production on them both… carved out ears, nostriles and hooves… and repainted them. ^.^

That’s what I love abotu PYOs so much… they HAVE no seams… so I don’t have to sit there for hours making sure I’ve got tehm all smoothe! 😀 They are MUCH faster to paint! At least in that respect. ^.^

I hope that helps! 😀

[ladybrooklyn]

I saw that. 😀

Good luck Ski! Who knows… maybe you’ll win him. ^.^ Though there are LOTS of watchers now…. 😯

I love watching bidding wars… 😆

MAN I can’t wait to get more bodies of that guy… he is definately my new favorite Breyer mold… (after Brighty of course! :D)
