Breyer & Haffie magic



 
Breyer fans have already seen him of course. Kit, the new Haflinger stallion that I designed for the Stablemates line! 

You can read all about the process of sculpting Kit on the Breyer blog: https://www.breyerhorses.com/blogs/news/kit-a-new-stablemates-sculpt-for-2022
 

 
My own sporty Haflinger, Apollo, is a once-in-a-lifetime horse. I hope little Kit will bring a bit of that delightful Haffie magic to everyone who owns him!

Apollo doesn’t get much of a winter coat, but that could change in the future as he is already 20 years old. If he ever needs a body clip, guess what the pattern will be... I will share pictures here of course. ;)

Breyer Premier Club Rhian & Cadell for sale!



Great news! I have several sets of the lovely Breyer PC welsh mare and foal, Rhian & Cadell, available for sale. The sculptures are designed by me, as well as the finishwork.
They are €155 per set plus shipping. They come in their original packaging, with velvet pouch and COA. Breyer has done a fantastic job recreating these guys in plastic! Read here how Jennifer Buxton of Braymere Custom Saddlery fell in love with her set.

Prices are in euros and the ponies ship from the Netherlands. You will receive Rhian & Cadell in their original, unopened box, so you can have the pleasure of unpacking them. :) Unless you would rather have me open the box for you and check the models first, just let me know. 

Shipping: EU countries €10, Netherlands €6, USA/world €24 with tracking (€18 without tracking).

Edit: All sets have been sold, thank you!

Premier Club Ponies


You might have seen them already. :) My new sculptures for Breyer, a Welsh Mountain Pony mare and her foal. They are the first release in the 2019 Premier Club. You can sign up for the club on the Breyer website
 
I really enjoyed seeing Django produced in plastic and the myriad of Django customs that followed. I hope you are going to have fun collecting and customizing these guys as well!

* update: BIDDING CLOSED, thank you! *


#1. Mine. No photo, he's in my curio cabinet and will never leave. 

Django #2
#2. Nice paintwork, some overspray at dock. Good body shape (by this I don't mean "body quality", I mean his body looks good) and legs, pretty normal stance.
Starting offer: $45
Current offer: $68 (RH)

Django #3
#3. Nice coloring. Some tiny rubs/lint, dent in plastic below left hock, small dent in right gaskin. Good body shape, nice legs, stands a little wobbly.
Starting offer: $45
Current offer: $55 (SJ)

Django #4
#4. Good body shape & legs, nice coloring, some overspray at eyes and tail, little imperfection on back. Stands well.
Starting offer: $45
Current offer: $45 (CJ)

Django #5
#5. Nice shading (slightly darker), crisp markings, great body shape, nice legs, stands well. Tiny speck of yellow paint (?) on back. Stands well.
Starting offer: $45
Current offer: $60 (CO)

Django #6
#6. This guy is wider behind the shoulder blades, he seems a bit squashed between the withers and armpits. Legs are nice though, and he stands well. Coloring is nice, some overspray here and there.
Starting offer: $35
Current offer: $35 (KOS)

Django #7
#7. This one is also a little wider in front, not as much as #6 though. Left ear is bent inwards a little. Left front leg is fine, the right one is erm... spaghettified. It is bent in all the wrong places. Seams on neck and the spaghettileg are a little choppy. As for the paint, some overspray and slightly misplaced markings.
Starting offer: $20
Current offer: $30 (MN)

Django #8
#8. Pretty normal body shape. Right front is not as bad as unlucky #7, but still not as it should be. Some little dents on seams. Nice coloring (lighter variety). Tail is painted darker than usual. Stands well.
Starting offer: $35
Current offer: $35 (KOS)

Django #9
#9. Nice body & legs. Right ear tip is bent downwards. Misplaced marking at dock. White discoloration in the white marking on right hind leg, no idea what it is. Stands okay.
Starting offer: $30
Current offer: $30 (MBW)

Django #10
#10. Body shape is fine, front legs are a little warped. Feet are blobbier than usual. Dent in plastic below left hock. Seam on chest is a little choppy. Tail much darker, with some overspray on hind legs. Stands pretty well.
Starting offer: $30
Current offer: $35 (MN)

Django #11
#11. This poor fellow is really squashed, with a uniquely shaped girth area. Too bad, the coloring is quite nice. He stands well, but very narrow in front, which makes his chest look even wider. Kinda cute though. :)
Starting offer: $15
Current offer: $35 (KOS)

#11 again, just looking for love.

I've done my best to describe them accurately, if you are familiar with the Django mold you will see some common issues. All of them have one or two slightly blobby feet, a peculiar right front leg, a few light pinpoint marks and a more experienced Breyer collector will undoubtedly find other things on them that I don't even know the name of. So no guarantees as to whether they are LSQ or not.

Happy bidding! :)

Django


Previously I wrote about the new Stablemate sculpture I made for Breyer. In the meantime Breyer has released this photo, so now I can finally show him to you. Here is... Django!

I made a Breyer! :)

Are you looking forward to 2016? I certainly am. Because in 2016 Breyer will release a brand new 1:32 scale model, sculpted by me. Yes, I sculpted for Breyer!

I can't show photos or say anything other than "Stablemate" about the sculpture, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I wish I could tell my 8 year old, Breyer loving self about this!

The new Stablemate will make its debut in the new 2016 Breyer Stablemates Club. You can find out more about this new club on Breyer's official website, or click here for info and a sneak peek. If you want to become a member, act quickly! Membership closes December 31st.

Thank you for supporting my artwork, and
Happy New Year!
