It took a while, (I'm always busy some way or another...) but I finally finished the barrel racing set that I have been working on. Pink is not one of my favorite colors I like baby blue & lime green more, but I think if really brings out the color in the pony really well. (Her name is Milk n' Honey) This is my first time using a latigo strap on a the schleich scale, but it was a challenge and fun, I also made recessed dee rings.

I've had these pictures sitting around for a bit so I thought I would share them with ya'll The stirrup with the Tapadero (I think!) is a stirrup from a pony saddle... A close up of some worn out rigging, on the pony saddle. Cute leather flower conchos. Here's a modely one to keep the theme ;) I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures!
-Becky After my first "big" saddle I decided to refine it a little more... Starting with a new tree, I made this one out of wire, air-dry clay, and a pop can, I am pretty happy with how it turned out! I also switched out the blank studs like on the other saddle for "diamond" ones! I added some more detail to the fenders... Complicated the cinch strap a little more... I like it more though, it is fun to do. Then, I put it all together! I snatched Un-Named Valentines bridle - it does look good on him though... ;) Amazingly I even had time to finish painting a portrait horse! Ditto is a Quarter x Percheron cross to he was strong, stocky, and had a very wide girth! (Much bigger than the models!) Since I rode Ditto at Disney on a trail ride, I put his Mickey head hair cut on him! He even has silver horseshoes! Incredibly I was able to finish both projects in one sitting! Thanks to my furry little foot warmer! Hope you liked him! (and the saddle)
It is amazing how quickly this... turned into this! And this... into this! My very first traditional set! This was my first try at a traditional scale saddle and I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I would consider the saddle PSQ because I know there are some *minor* problems but practice makes perfect, and this was practice. I am not entirely happy with the way the jockeys wrap around the horn and how chunks of glue are visible, I also think the jockeys are too far up on the horn... I was also able to make a red, white, and blue gaming bridle, red tie-down, and a red breastplate! I *think* this is how a tie-down is used... I have also been experimenting with a bandage material called Coban, it is a medical tape that is very easy to use and only sticks to itself! I have been trying it on all kinds of scales, when cut to different thicknesses it works perfectly! (Sorry for the GI Joe, her other glove has throwing stars on it!) I was in the tacking-up mood so it put my new bareback set by Madelyne on Tom Sawyer, enjoy! Hopefully soon I will be able to take pictures of some models on the beach!
