Philosophers’ Stone

Philosophers Stone

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Green-Black-Gold Faux-Stone
Gallery: Other Color
Medium: Acrylics, Liquitex Phthalocyanine Green
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This odd little guy was an attempt to recreate the look of Gold Digger, except starting from a primed body instead of using the original finish. As you can see, it didn’t work as well as intended, but I still think it looks pretty cool (and I used the same technique on Blaustein later). (more…)

Epona’s Chimera

Epona's Chimera

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Bay Brindle
Gallery: Other Color
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little guy was a custom order for a color I had never painted before… and to be fair I’m not sure that he really counts as having painted one now. *pokes horse* I ended up with something that looks a little too much like a tiger and not enough like an actual brindle pattern. (more…)

Lo Flyby

Lo Flyby

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Metallic Blue Tobiano
Gallery: Tobiano
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This little guy was one of my favorite fantasy customs, both in terms of overall color and name. I was looking for a sky-themed name to match his white a blue coloring and ‘Lo Flyby’ popped into my head as I pondered random Top Gun references. (more…)

Storm Rising

Storm Rising

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Gray
Gallery: Dilutes
Medium: Acrylics and Embroidery Floss
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

Storm was my first, but not last, attempt at hairing a model using embroidery floss. As you can see, I didn’t paint the floss like I did with the unicorns, but instead tried to use the original colors. It was sort of a hit-or-miss result. (more…)

Magic’s Promise

Magics Promise

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Dark Bay
Gallery: Bay
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 2003 and Sold July 2003

I’m sure there’s a perfectly good reason why I took sales photos of this guy without having his eyes finished… but darned if I can think of what is was. *pokes horse* (more…)

Pyrite Prince

Pyrite Prince

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Dappled Yellow-gold Bay
Medium: Acrylics
Gallery: Other Color
Status: Painted 2005 and Sold Aug 2005

This little guy was quite an adventure to paint. The Gold interacted very oddly with the yellow, giving it an almost burnished look. I was expecting the contrast between the two colors to be starker, but it worked out wonderfully. (more…)

Corporeal Twist

Corporeal Twist

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Sabino Tovero (Tobiano + Overo)
Gallery: Other
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold

I am pretty sure this guy couldn’t exist in nature, but I wanted to see if I could fit every non-appaloosa white pattern onto one horse. I was tempted to list him in the fantasy section, but he’s theoretically possible– unlike a green appaloosa. (more…)

Nachtkatze

Nachtkatze

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Black Chestnut
Gallery: Chestnut
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

Nachtkatze should translate into Night Cat, if Bablefish’s German is to be believed. Why I seem to have developed and addiction to naming models in languages I don’t speak is beyond me… but it sure is fun! (more…)
