Model Horses

A few notes: These are all plastic Breyer model horses, and were not sculpted by me. I painted them. Actually, I re-painted them because they were already painted by Breyer, but most of them were scratched up from being played with. I didn't like their origional paint jobs anyway.
I painted them with Liquitex (sp?) acrylic paint, and the shading on the bays was added with black spraypaint. The pictures were taken with a little camera that can't focus on things close up, so some of the pics came out blurry. I enlarged all of them with my scanner, and sharpened them up in Paint Shop Pro. Some of them look grainy because of that. So just exuse the bad pictures.
| Thumbnail | My comments
| One of my older repaints, a skewbald Saddlebred.

| I always wanted to repaint a model from the Misty mold. This is one of my best repaints, but the camera didn't capture it quite right.
| A chocolate bay horse...

| This was supposed to be a liver chestnut, but somehow it came out dark bay instead...

| A Palamino overo. Palamino coloring is hard to make with acrylics. I like how he came out (but I don't like the picture).
| A blue roan pony. This horse will always be known as Justin. He has quite a history from being played with, and had scratch marks everywhere before I repainted him.
| Cameras almost always capture bay horses looking better than they actually do... heh

| This is one of my favorite repaints. He's so cute! (But he looks better in real life)
| There's not much to say about this one...
| A mahogany bay colt.

| This is such a cute filly...
| This is definatly not one of my best repaints, but somehow the camera got him to look so good...
| Aww... A stablemate (very small) Arabian mare! She was repainted to look like one of my very old role playing characters, ArabMare (whom some of you may remember). I really like how she came out
| This horse has spots, but you can't see them too well.
| A blue roan drafter Stablemate. I sculpted the mane on him and attached the braid using a tutorial in an old Just About Horses magazine.
| A black stablemate Saddlebred. Most black horses are pretty easy to paint...
