Ludwig

Has been awhile again.  These new type models take me alot longer to make.  I have keeped with the 1/9th scale for this show cob.  He has a real Cobby head on him.  I didn't hog his mane, I thought he looked quite good with a full one.  I really enjoy making these more solid models, even though they take me alot longer.  I will be starting my biggest model yet of a Clydesdale.  Well here are the photos of Ludwig, hope you like him

New Solid model

At long last I have something to post.  It has been ages I know which I am sorry about.  I must get into the habit of posting a little more often.  I have been trying to sculpt a more soild model.  I have managed to come up with this Dapple grey Hunter.  He is worked to 1/9th scale, so bigger than I am use to.  He has a wire armature which has paper mache applied, then he is covered in air dry clay.  I have then painted him in acrylic paint.  He has mohair for his mane and tail.  I have called him Bombardier, Bomber for short.

I'm still here, just been making more of a solid model which is taking me sometime.  I will post very shortly with the results of this venture.

Sorry

I have been gone for awhile, which I am very sorry about.  I haven't had any models to post.  I am making one at the moment which will be a Suffolk Punch.  I have been having alittle break from them, but I can hear them calling me to make more.  I couldn't tell you why I haven't been doing them.  It's just me, I have to go off and try new thing that don't really turn out and always come back to my models.  I wish I could just stay on track with them all the time, but I really don't think that will ever happen.  I'm not going to beat myself up over it.  Well hopefully I will post pics of said Punch when finished.  Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather.  I am, very much.   

Another commission.

As I said in my last post, I have been working on a  friesian commission.  It seems to be taking me longer these days to complete each horse.  I don't think it really matters as long as I get them done.  This chap will be jetting off to Australia.  Have been playing around with some riders, but not very happy with the results so far.  I will keep going and hopefully one day will come up with a half decent doll.  Well here is the Friesian, this is the third one of these I have made so far. 

Norwegian Done

As mentioned in the last post, I was making a Norweigan Fjord.   I only just finished him last week.  I really love Norwegian Fjords.  Would really love to own one and a Haflinger.  I think they would make a lovely pair.  I am now making a commission of a Friesian.  These are a very popular breed, people just love them.  I love making them. 

 I am having a massive clear out of the house, so this taking up alot of time.  Also have got the bug for baking cakes.  I like the fact that you have a final result in a matter of a couple of hours.  Well here are the pic's of the Norwegian who I have named Harry.

   

Completed commission

Just finished this commission.  She will be heading for Canada very shortly.  I'm making a Norwegian fjord at the moment.  This isn't a commission, just a breed I like a lot. I have caught up with my commissions at the moment, which is good.  I was going to make a Suffolk Punch from a new pattern before the Fjord, but I cut the pattern wrong and didn't have enough felt left.  I am ordering some more so I can carry on.

Been baking quite a lot.  Also gardening in the rain, because every time I go to do it it rains, so I thought in the rain it must be.  You watch it will lovely tomorrow.  I think us in the UK have forgot what nice weather looks like lol.  Well less of me waffling on and down to the pic.  Here is the commission pony.
