Since my last post from summer, I created another 4 horses and two medallions! 2020 sucked for a number of reasons I'm sure you are all too familiar with too, but at least in the model horse department I think 2020 was the year I made the most amount of model horses ever.

This month's vlog is part summary of my model horse art adventures and part oil painting process. It's not a tutorial, but it does give you a somewhat rare glimpse into one of the lesser filmed mediums in the model horse hobby.

Speedsculpting a Breyer Model Horse Muzzle

10/4/2020

0 Comments

 
This step-by-step process video shows you all the techniques I use to sculpt a muzzle on a model horse in Milliput Superfine White epoxy putty. While demonstrated in 1/32 scale, I use these same steps on larger 1/12 and 1/9 scale muzzles as well. This video condenses approximately 35 mins of sculpting in real-time. Primary tools/supplies are small clay shapers, an old paint brush, paper towels and water (see below for tool links).

Video Showcase: Custom Breyer Stablemate Jumping Horse

5/21/2020

0 Comments

 
I created this horse starting in 2016 from the Breyer Stablemate G3 Jumping horse with handtools and Aves Apoxy putty. I lengthened and re-positioned her back, sculpted a new head and neck, new ears, new mane, and corrected her knees and hooves. Her paintwork was completed in 2018 using airbrushed acrylics, hand painted acrylics, and my dry earth method to pink her nose. She won a NAN card at her first show in 2018 at the ultra competitive Candyland Live.

Sculpting Video Tutorial - Ears!

12/26/2018

0 Comments

 
A couple weeks ago, I asked my Instagram followers what sort of tutorials they would like to see from me. Video tutorials won the majority for preferred format, so I figured it was time to actually do something with that channel I set up a while ago. Many people wanted to see sculpting and painting tutorials, so I'm taking advantage of a long Christmas stay-cation to record some of those videos, starting with how I sculpt ears. That video is live now.
