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.

More Pictures of Truffle

Just wanted to share some more pictures of Truffle. I should have some pictures of my first painted copy soon. He looks great in color!

Fixing Models with Acetone

I added a new horse to my original finish collection today:


 

Last year, Breyer released a special run for members of their 'Collector Club' on Christmas Day. It was a gambler's choice style run; if you bought a model you didn't know if you would get red, green, or gold. I got the gold.

I'm never happy just having one from a set, so I've been trying to find the red and green for reasonable prices. Since this poor guy's tail was not attached, he was about as reasonable as I could possibly hope to find.
