Description I DID NOT SCULPT THIS. Model WS Mustang is (c) 2004 to Safari Ltd., Miami, FL. It was even already a blue roan with a star. I just personalized it.

I realized the eyes were just the color of the body, so I painted them brown/amber. Then I painted a pupil and highlight. I also defined the star (it was just a soft round spot before). Then I used acrylic gloss to put a shine on the eyes, inside of the nostrils, hooves, mane, and tail.

I had already offered to mail it to Rebecca, but wanted to make it extra special (so that she couldn't just go pick her own up at a store ). When I picked out this model, it was for me. I went through all the mustangs (they were all blue roans) until I found one with no scuffs or scratches. I liked the model because the head was so refined and the anatomy was nearly flawless. I bought it before I knew *WrathOfNessis or her beautiful horse Soquili. But after his death, my model seemed to fit him perfectly.

Just as a tribute to a wonderful horse that made owning a mustang even more worthy of pride. Thanks for all you have done for me, Becca. I value your friendship so much, and hope you will cherish your mini-Soquili (just send me your address in an email.) Much love.

He is gorgeous. His eyes look very spirited and expressive. Probably my favorite part about him.

I have the exact same model also, and got him after I saw Soquili. It reminded me of him, but I never did notice that about the eyes. Looks great!

I want to repaint one of my Breyers to look like So-So but I have no idea how to start o.o

Haha don't ask me! XD I'm still wondering how people do "pastel/acrylic" recolorations. The only cusomization I've done used one shade of acrylic paint, and ended up rather flat.

Delumier In reply to daughterofthestars [2008-04-04 01:54:27 +0000 UTC]

There's a good tutorial on YouTube for pastels, but it isn't finished yet :/ And I want to know how to do the darn blue roans noww, darnit D:<

daughterofthestars In reply to Delumier [2008-04-04 10:18:56 +0000 UTC]

Where is that tutorial? I've been wondering. Like, pastels alone? mixed with acrylics or some gel of some sort? It's all very intriquing.

Delumier In reply to daughterofthestars [2008-04-04 18:13:58 +0000 UTC]

You shave the pastel and then just brush it on. It's on YouTube...search Breyer Tutorial.

Aww, I have that exact same model. And everytime I look at it, I wonder if I should do the same thing you did! Weird. It's awesome.

Well, I guess I did it for you. She doesn't need two Soquili's, does she?

PaintedJewel In reply to daughterofthestars [2008-04-05 01:41:17 +0000 UTC]

Nope, though I already took a picture of mine! You did a much better job re-painting the eyes then I would have, anyway.
