so I got myself some new horses over the past few weeks... I did promise myself no new horses this month as I'm saving up for a holiday. But hey I got at least four days into the month before I caved! So here are the beauts, (P.s I'm still waiting on Babyflo and will make a separate post about her.
So this was the first boy to arrive! Breyer's Totilas, funnily enough I got him when I came back from Badminton last Wednesday where I had bought a book about dressage superstars with him on the cover. (they both now sits with my little shrine to dressage in my room.) He is a lovely boy, I was on the fence about this model as he is just a flat black and if I'm honest he was a bit of an impulse buy but I adore his mould! Such a sweet face with lots of detail. He will be coming with me to my first live show in June! If he does well I shall keep him OF but if not I may customise him as it seems a shame to have a flat black on such a pretty mould. ( For instance Enchante from Breyerfest 2015 looks amazing.)
So another spur of the moment purchase SBH Phoenix, I was meant to be getting Picasso instead of him but he sold out everywhere the day before I placed my order! So instead of being patient i chucked this guy in my basket. However I don't regret it he is lovely, as usual I adore the Orthello mould and his colour is super rich. Unfortunately he has a flippy ear which I'll have to sort out before I can show him but he is a very pretty boy besides that.
Next up we have Banks Vanilla, mine came with rather a lot of little black marks but this didn't matter as I only bought her to customise as she's a little boring to me. {Not Breyer's fault really a pure white horse just doesn't make an interesting model.) So she will soon be a pretty little tobiano palamino. I love the mould lovely detail however not a fan of the asymmetrical face as I thought she was bloating at first... the lip just doesn't translate well to plastic I don't think.
Here she is mid way through body paint!
That's all for now I will have a post on Babyflo when she arrives and an update on my current customs when they are finish and let you know how my first live show goes in June!
