Breyer Stablemates - Zombie Custom

I have picked up my zombie custom again. She is on the Warmblood mould. 
She is missing her back left leg from the cannon bone down, and is missing most of one ear.
She is half-rearing, and will need a support to stand once she is finished.

She still needs zombie wounds, painting and a stand before she will be complete, but I aim to finish her within the next couple of months.
I am carving her zombie wounds with a scalpel, as I don't have the ideal X-Acto or Stanley knife.















This is how she will stand when she is finished.

Unfortunately, I didn't win the unicorns. :(

At the moment, I am customising a non-Breyer horse that is the same size as a Breyer Micro Mini. 

As it progresses, I will be posting pictures. :)
At the moment, all I'm doing is sanding and filing the rough seams.
After this, I will strip its paint, repaint it and then spray it with matte finish, possibly selling it when it is done.

I am also doing a "Drastic custom" on a Stablemates foal. It currently looks like this:

(Photo isn't mine, but it shows the foal's colouring.)






I'm going to make it look like it's grazing, so something like this:











Once repositioned, I'm also going to completely repaint it. :) 

Sadly the foal's leg broke while I was repositioning it, and there was no hope of gluing it back on, as it was less than a millimetre thick.

Breyer Traditional - Unicorns
Tonight I'm bidding on a pair of Breyer Traditional unicorns. If I win them, I will post more details on them.
If I do win the pair, them I will own 3 Traditional unicorns that are all different - 2 adults & 1 foal.

I already own a unicorn, this one: (Image is a stockphoto)
I have had her for about a year and she placed at the live show I went to, plus already had 2 placings when I bought her.

Stablemates - New Horses

Today I had to drive to Ealing to pick up some Stablemates that I bought online, so I thought I would make a video log of them to make up for the fact that I didn't post anything yesterday or on Thursday.

Sorry for the crackling noises, my camera doesn't record sound very well.

Breyer Stablemates - Midnight

This is my horse Midnight. She is a black mare with two socks and a red ribbon in her mane. She is on the Breyer Stablemates American Saddlebred mould, and came in a set with a foal, some fencing and a few barn accessories.
I intended to take her to the show with me, but ran out of space & didn't have room for her.

Breyer Stablemates - Ant

This is Ant, who I also painted myself. He is a paint horse on the Breyer Warmblood mould. 
He is a black pinto, Piebald, with black eyes and grey hooves. 
At the show I went to in October, he placed 5th in the Paint / Pinto custom class.
