Lion Is Nearing Completion:


The Pot-Bellied Pig is completed and in  MH$P. I'll add a link below.

Some news on the 1/6 scale Appaloosa foal.  I've started him over.  I just wasn't happy with how he was coming along.  I tried twice to repaint his pattern and clean it up a bit and it just wasn't looking the way I wanted it to, so he's been reprimed over again to solid white and I'm trying to figure out what color I want to do him in now.  Overo maybe?  I don't know.  I'll just see what he turns into. 

The Lion is almost done.  He's got some more work on his eyes and some more shading but otherwise, he's nearly done.  I guess you could call him a 1/6 scale figure because he's really large.

1/6 Foal And Pig Get Color:

Well, here he is.  He's an Appaloosa foal now!

I have a reference pic of what I'm going by loosely too. I don't know if I'm going this chestnut or do him bay, but this is what I'm looking at while working on him. 





And here's the Pot Bellied Pig so far.  I have a lot of antiquing to do to her and shading.  Lots more layers.

Foal And Pot-Bellied Pig Ready For Paint. Plus A New Arabian:

The foal is ready for paint.  I've just got two or three tiny spots to buff a bit more but otherwise, he's ready for a color. I love how he turned out.  He's got his little dried umbilical cord left hanging, and his little boy parts are slightly exposed as the little boy foals tend to not be able to control that. He looks like he's just starting to lay down or he's trying to get to his feet.  I can't tell which.  Both actions work though.  Now for the color.  I think he looks like he could be a quarter horse foal maybe. I really thought about doing him as an appaloosa foal but i don't know what I'll do.  Time to look at pictures of foals. 





The Pot-Bellied Pig is ready for paint tomorrow too.  That's going to be a greyish black and pinkish white bi-colored pig.  

And a new Arabian mare I'm working on.  I think this is definitely going to be a loud LOUD sabino.  Chestnut, Bay, or Black I don't know yet.  But she's gonna be LOUD!

Pot Bellied Pig Ready For Priming & 1/6 Scale Foal Nearly Done:

The foal is now a BOY! lol  I decided to give him the boy gender and he's also got a little bit of dried umbilical cord attached. Even though I had considered removing the little tongue from the original only because I like changing as much as I can to make the customs my own, I really liked the little tongue out on him so I shaped one side of his mouth a bit more and left it there. Trying to figure out what color to do him in. Paint, Appaloosa, buckskin?  Don't know.  He's got a mane and tail now. He's almost done.  I have some tweaking to do and more on the tail. 


And the Pot-Bellied Pig is pretty much completed.  She's got to get primed buffed and ready for paint.

One Sixth Gets More Work And The Pot Bellied Pig Resurfaces:

Here's one I haven't picked back up in a while.  lol  The Pot Bellied Pig is back!  I had been just working on it adding apoxie to it when I'd made too much for other projects.  Instead of wasting it, I would add to the pig's girth.  It's a fairly heavy custom, but it's small so it's not so bad.  
It's almost completed so that's good.  





And here's the One Sixth Scale foal's progress.  Just filling things in.

My first Breyer Camilla 1/6th Scale Custom:

I got so lucky the other day by finding one of these 1/6 scale Camilla Breyer foals at Ollies. So I'm working on one of these for the first time.  I'm doing a newborn foal attempting to get up for the first time.  It's still a tad wonky but I've got a long way  to go yet.
