Happy to have found this! I bought a breyer that was someone else's unfinished project and was told it just needed the tail fixing back on. I got it a few weeks ago and noticed that actually, they repositioned the legs and ears, and they dont look good 😥 I've never sculpted breyers before, only mlp figures
Happy to hear you found this at a helpful time! 😊 I’m sure a lot of the skills you use on MLPs is going to give you a leg up with your new Breyer project. Hopefully some customizing transforms the legs and ears into something you’re happy with. And wishing you all the fun!
Fantastic video! I am working on a team of horses pulling a steam fire engine at full gallop to a call. It is based on a few classic photos using 1/12 scale Breyers. Your videos have been amazingly helpful in this project!
Thank you so very much for this tutorial! I have been searching for a video as detailed as this for such a long time. *Thank you!* And Pam still has her charm even after all the beautiful customizing ^^
This is a masterpiece! You inspired me to buy a PAM body and make my own custom! Did you happen to thin out the hindquarters, or are they the same width as original PAM? 😊
I’m happy to hear you’re inspired to start a custom! Yes, I did thin the hindquarters on mine to fit the look I was trying to achieve, though you can certainly keep yours original or thin depending on the vision you have for yours.
I would say repaints on affordable models is a good starting point (I started with Breyer Stablemates) as well as simple resculpting projects like a new mane or new tail made with epoxy putty. Pastels brushed over acrylic basecoats or oil paints I think have some of the lower learning curves for painting. Acrylics are the most accessible to buy, and I’d say their learning curve is a step up from pastels or oils because it can take a bit of practice to learn smooth blending by hand (unless airbrushing interests you, then smooth blends with acrylics is generally easier). After that, I would say my biggest tip would be to find what sparks your passion and giving that a try!
Oh shucks, I missed one then. Those were a pair of garden shears I was gifted. I’m not exactly sure what brand they are, but this pair looks very similar: www.amazon.com/dp/B000M3XY3A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NF1D27A0KCSP0C2TC1KY?psc=1
I do plan to make more! Just not sure when (I’m a slow customizer 😅🙈) I will have other horse sculpting/painting related videos between now and then though
Part two, the painting video, is up! ua-cam.com/video/vKLPt8WFcPU/v-deo.html

Glad you liked it! And I’ll look into adding more proportion discussions into future videos
Would you mind sharing tips for someone who wanted to get into customizing model horses as a hobby? What would be a good jumping off point?

Would like to know what type of cutters you used for the dowels in this video as they're not listed in tools

I too am almost 46 but I’m not nearly that good looking
hi
is this air dry clay?
thx
It’s Milliput epoxy putty 😊 Like air dry clay, it cures on its own within a few hours
@@CreativeKristenTaylor your work is unbelievable
thank you for sharing
you inspire!❤️
Awww, thank you 😊😊😊 And happy to share!
@@CreativeKristenTaylor are you making another soon?
I do plan to make more! Just not sure when (I’m a slow customizer 😅🙈) I will have other horse sculpting/painting related videos between now and then though
