Spring/Summer 2011: Right now my priority is to complete the four huntseat model horse tack sets I am currently working on.
Once these tack sets are done, I will move on to my last four custom paintjob commissions. I am looking forward to these, and appreciate your patience!
This fall I would like to complete the warmblood plaque, and possibly a new medallion. Due to the current market/economy, I am not investing much time in my full horse sculptures right now, but I look forward to getting back to them eventually!





MODEL HORSE TACK PROJECTS:



Four Traditional scale huntseat saddle sets

Three are spoken for, the fourth which is the medium brown (not the darkest brown), will likely go up for auction when completed. I may do my own auction, where all interested people would submit their highest bid once via email or postal mail by a certain date. Check back here for details. I cannot accept tack orders, sorry!

huntseat scale miniature saddles in progress

sclae miniature stirrup leathers


Above: saddles shown in progress. The top is starting to look nice, but the underside is still very ugly. They look almost done, and indeed I am farther on them than I feel like I am. However I still have underside pieces to do, and the big project of making the panels. Also shown: stirrup leathers up close.





RECENTLY COMPLETED:

Saddle Pads (next ones to be completed will be announced on my yahoo groups list and posted on MH$P)

SCULPTING PROJECTS:



Warmblood Plaque

I am currently sculpting the head of a proud warmblood stallion, and plan to release two versions, one with pulled loose mane, one with braided mane and dressage bridle on. His design is morphing into a rectangle plaque, not the round medallion shape you see here. Watch for updates!






Honrado
1:9 scale (Trad.) Andalusian stallion in piaffe


Read more about him, and see him progress from armature to sculpture, here.









Heatwave
1:9 scale (Trad.) Arabian stallion







I have also been working on another Arabian. He will have natural (no bridle path) mane/tail
blowing in the wind. (approx 1:9, so-called Traditional scale) Those who remember my customized
Breyer named Destynn, a 1991 creation, will notice a similarity. I still like the idea and wanted
to create an original sculpture from it. Yes, it's the same ugly green clay and awkward armature
from Tsunami, but everything has been reworked, there is no Tsunami left here! (And I promise
it's the last horse you'll have to see in green... This soft clay and bad armature are OUTTA HERE
when the horse is done!)


Mini Sculptures








I am working on some Stablemate or Mini size sculptures. One is a standing Andalusian stallion, and two are cantering sport types
(each a different pose/breed type). The first one likely to get finished is the cantering one shown
at the top. I keep adding bits of epoxy here and there, and now they look like they are wearing fuzzy
slippers, LOL! Keep checking back for updated photos!





Dales Pony Stallion
Currently in the planning stages, a standing Dales Pony stallion, possibly in so-called Classic scale (1:12).
