Fixing a Model Horse Ear and Painting a Sabino Pinto Pattern 

Thank you! 🥰

I definitely debated going sabino or rabicano, I have to do one at some point! Polaris is one of my favorite Breyers. Glad you like him! 🥰

@@starbatcraft And Kalee!

I would be interested in that as well. Saw someone on a website the other day asking for help to repair a custom and while I'd love to help, I have no idea how to fix the colouring. I imagine it's hard or a trial and error thing since we do not know the original paints/pastels used. :'D

@@Managable_Mayhem Sameeee, I have a 2002 Spirit that needs paint touch up and I dont want to ruin him without getting the closest colors first

@@AllisonRichardsonSquared Hmm, for models without lots of shading or detailed markings, you could maybe try matching the colour on a piece of plastic, clay, etc. and then hold it next to the model's repair-needing part. I prefer using pastels, but that would mean even MORE testing out than with acryllic paints, so I'd suggest those instead. You also don't need to seal them to stay on like with pastels (which changes their colour...which is my biggest problem tbh). You could always try to look up tutorials. Reddit is good enough for posting those kinda questions and getting help, tho the Breyer forum doesn't seem to be very active.

Thank you!! And I'm not an expert but I have just used thinned acrylic in layers, the real struggle is color matching. It always dries darker than it looks wet. And I usually mix my matte and gloss varnish to get a similar finish to Breyer. Probably not the fanciest way but I've gotten placings in shows and don't think the judges noticed the fixes. Maybe if I need to fix another one I'll make an insta reel or something!

Thank you! And good timing lol I'm starting a project that will require a lot of it so good to know!

Thank you! That's a good idea, the bit would be cool like that 😍

@@starbatcraft Thankyou!

Glad you like it! 🥰 The best place is probably Facebook groups, resin horse sales? Something like that, as well as Model Horse Connection but they are undergoing a site redesign right now. Also if you find a sculpter you like on Instagram or something they usually have a newsletter or website you can follow for releases

@@starbatcraft Thanks
