Description Because the new pony stablemate is fun to paint and Haflingers are awesome. Eugh, there's a hair stuck in his paint because my kitty just has to sit in my lap when I work XP

DISCLAIMER: I did not sculpt the horse nor am taking credit for doing so. It is a Breyer stablemate G3 Pony sculpted by Jane Lunger. I just did the paint job.

TOOLS:
Alphacolor chalk pastels
Delta Creamcoat Acrylic Paint
Rustoleum Painter's Touch Primer
Krylon Matte clearcoat
Clear nail polish
An assortment of paintbrushes

TIME:
Too long, thanks to Horse Isle XP

Awwww! I know a wee Halfinger of the exact same shade called Tommy...also known affectionatly as 'The Childflinger' due to his annoying yet adorable bucking habit. XD

He is just wonderful!!! And yes, Haflingers rock! I own a Haflinger stallion myself, that is such a sweetheart. He used to be my show horse, but he's retired now! There's pics of him in the scraps section of my photography account. You can see them here if you like: [link]

That is really cool. Your work is so unique, at least for this website. Where do you get your models? I know that they are Breyers, but do you order them offline?
