Welcome

If you are interested in model horses, here is my collection online, including DIY projects. I do lots of work with found objects and prop/scene work and my projects are usually inexpensive and very creative.
The links to ponylagoon are NOT to my PHOTOS. They are for reference & structure only.
Projects are related to creating an eye-pleasing, properly scaled display in the china cabinent for the models which the child in me refuses to relinquish (or insists on acquiring!).

Thanks for stopping in!

I asked for the Cutting Horse Chip, second choice the QH, who I intend to paint as a portrait of an apricot dun QH mare I used to ride (leg bars, dorsal stripe, star/snip, 2 hind socks, light dappling on flanks & rear) -wish me luck-

FEC WB



Equilocity 2009 Dinner Chip "Ghost", a portrait & run of 30. Picked up at a recent visit to the factory, which is always a treat. I exercised a great deal of self-discipline by not bringing home any other expensive lovelies.

Equilocity Warehouse Sale '09

Day 1 plunder:
This Hollywood (large horse) stood out, her head is turned not straight, & a bit raised, her tail prfectly bent. I am very excited about her. The pony was a bonus, attitude in the face. The Bourbon Sauce is for Tony.
Enjoyed meeting the Trail of Painted Ponies artists & their own individual artwork, a real horse-art event @ the Marriott.
Very much looking forward to tomorrow, pj sale early! Then to the 'Fest.

Crystal? Is it you?


Woe, I mean !WHOA! is me;  my Crystal arrived in a lovely, flawless, lsq, GLOSSY finish to my excited dismay.  Is there a word to describe this mix of shock, excitement, frustration, disappointment & adoration?  
The primary reason I don't order glossies too often is that they are impossible to photo accurately, see above?  This photo does her NO justice.  You might get some good pictures, but the paintwork is always a bit distorted by the hi-shine.  I love to photo my horses.
The only other reason I don't do many glossy model horses is that I feel flaws are more obvious in this finish, and usually the gloss itself is unevenly distributed or has fine dust/'artifacts' in it.  In a regular run I anticpate this accordingly, esp from Breyer, but a pre-ordered Stone special run; well -  if I didn't want to photo show her, I would have ordered a glossy.
I called the factory & explained my order mixup & despite the lovely gloss I really wanted Matte finish.  Peter & Doug were very helpful, shipped a matte to me and I am supposed to ship the glossy back.  
I have officially decided to keep glossy as a sale horse of my own because she's so lovely.  If interested, I will consider offers.

Mini Me Rush

Stone customized chips WB, SR of 30 matte & 30 glossy. Find him online on this page while he lasts, if you can't go get him in Burbank, CA.
Can't resist that little half-pass?
Me either. Ordered a glossy for my birthday :D
Internet dropped a couple of times and hitting 'refresh' almost bought me 3. Called today and straightened my order up. They are so friendly.
Hope he shows up looking as nice in person!
Love the dapples & that little OF eye.
