[@Snow_WildCraft]

Wow this is a beautiful model!!I will want to try that but I can't sit there for 5-6 hours just painting a Breyer model:(..
I don't wanna sit there and wait but you have so much patience!
I love this model!!! 😁😁😁😅🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️You did a good job
And I will listen to music or a video so I have something to listen to while making a model.:)

[@eledatowle7128]

Beautifully done! I'm going to try it myself!

[@TheNordicOutlaw]

Thank you for the tips!! I am just going to be getting into Breyer customizing. I have painting experience and work as a professional artist, but every time you start something new it's nice to know the tips and tricks. I am excited to eventually graduate to larger models, but in the mean time I am watching your tutorials to build a foundation for myself. You are extremely talented and I hope someday I can be half as good as you are with my customs. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us beginners!

I always use the same primer as you do, and remove the unicorn horn with cat nail clippers. I have 25 mini Albys; about half have been converted to horses. Lovely work, and I have watched your tutorials time and time again, and use a lot of your techniques. (Jan Griffiths).

Love your videos, they have really inspired me to get back into customizing after a 9 year hiatus and ease back into the hobby. It's so nice having detailed video tutorials! Thank you!

[@IsadorablesBreyers]

So awesome! I will definitely do this.

[@Salty-lil-Sloth]

Thank you so much! Would a clear (sun catcher) stablemate work if it’s primed?

[@jocelynburke2803]

our stores are sold out of most all their spray paints. for like EVER. ugh.

[@pa4o93ir49]

This would be incredibly if it was glossy. How would you make it glossy like factory?

[@dastardlycanine]

You can get matte aftercoat or glossy aftercoat. Just buy the glossy one.
