Dapple Bay Truffle

 

Today I wanted to share the first artist's proof Truffle, done in dappled bay with a blaze and left hind sock. He was done in airbrushed and hand painted acrylics with just a little bit of colored pencil for some of the details. The removable base was finished using a variety of materials, including sand, flocking, and static grass. The base also has a suede leather bottom to prevent it from scratching surfaces.

He is available for offers until Sunday night on MH$P here.

Creating Truffle - Part Two

Truffle on February 17, 2016. He's looking a lot more refined, and even has a tail bone

I haven't been able to find any of my progress pictures from 2015. Fortunately there wasn't anything particularly exciting to show. I just worked on him on and off between other projects, and he spent a significant amount of time just hanging out on the metal edge of my TV cabinet.

Creating Truffle - Part One

I thought it might be interesting to do a series on Truffle's long journey from being bits of bent wire to a finished resin. This isn't meant to be a tutorial, just a series to give anyone that may be curious an idea of how I did things.

Truffle Now Available!

A few Truffles are now available! See here for more details: http://modelhorsesalespages.com/view.asp?id=1273563

Removing Paint from an Original Finish Model - Part One

Today I was cleaning and found a Breyer Goffert I started etching ages ago and eventually gave up on. The black paint on this guy was really thick and I just didn't like how he was turning out, so I moved on to other projects and basically even forgot I had this poor fellow.
