Update:Thanks everyone who helped me think of names for him! I chose a combination of ~EternalStarTrail 's suggestions!

This is my 2nd custom Breyer stablemate and like my first, also had many issues. The most disappointing being he fell off my shelf above my sink into a drain full of drying dishes, which of course has many hard and pointy things in it. So his beautiful face is ruined and he has a chip on one of his back hocks. So very sad because he was beautiful, I thought. Do you think I should just give him a white muzzle to cover the chip on his nose?

His color came out nice enough-but another problem I was having was once I put the Matte Finish on after the black pastel layers, it lightened the back some how and made it seem a dull black or grey instead of a nice lustrous black.

Would he be considered a liver chestnut? Maybe?

I still have issues with white markings too, they look rather sloppy and I need to figure out how to get them smooth looking. I was using layers, started out with a grey and then got lighter with each layer. But it's still not a nice even white. Bleh. O well, on to the next model! I'm thinking a blue roan? It will be on one like this: [link]

Also, while I'm here, another update. I'm still doing finishing touches around the house and new room so that explains my absence. For a few days there it looked like we just moved in! Crazy stuff. But it's slowly being put back together-but now I'm behind on laundry and very tired. Pictures of the new room coming soon!
