Ahhhh I love deejaybe!!!!!! She is an amazing artist!

[@soltanidoaa]

I love how you dont use professional tools and paints , i actually dont have access to professional stuff in my country. This is so helpful to me for my first custom you give me inspiration and new ideas keep up the good work❤❤❤❤❤

[@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!

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.:)

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).

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

I might be late, but this will never get old! He is stunning!

[@clairemary83]

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!

Stunning job Darynn!😍

[@Salty-lil-Sloth]

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

[@liuka1864]

YESSS

[@IsadorablesBreyers]

So awesome! I will definitely do this.

[@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.

[@jocelynburke2803]

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