Studio Update: October 23

Done! Time for a photo dump.


The last five-point breastplate I made was pre-2012, or possibly never. Either way, it's been a long, long time, so this guy presented a bit of a challenge.


A very rewarding challenge! Definitely pleased with how it came out, and even more pleased that its new owner approves!



(The breastplate and girth are off to a new home, but the saddle is mine.)



Lots of real, working buckles on this guy, which is unusual for me lately. It does take a bit of the pressure off having everything fit absolutely perfectly, though, as it allows for some adjustment. 


The girth and breastplate join the six boots and hunter bridle to finish off this odds and ends order.


Now it's off to work on the raffle halter- or halters? We'll see.

    1. Thank you so much! The horse is actually one of my customs I've been chipping away at for a while now, reworked from the G4 Driving mold. Obviously she still has a ways to go before she's arena-ready, but she is fun to dress up!

  4. I've always admired the patience of model horse tackmakers but I find it even more impressive that anyone have the patience to make stablemate tack! This set is absolutely amazing!

    I really like the look of the horse as well, what model is that?

    1. I completely agree! Stablemate tack must be so incredibly hard to work on but obviously worth it :) I would love to try to make it one day!
