maximus

Ok, spent most of the afternoon looking at horse pictures, then got onto model/resin pictures from there. Google image is a neat thing, but it's frustrating when it shows you a picture that is NO longer there and you want to see it bigger. ;D

Anyway, if you want to see a fantastic horse go to "resins" then click on the extra photos for "Maximus/Max". They have a celtic max, a LotR max and one with a wolfhound. Really neat.

There's some more of a really neat looking Maximus there, and a Bailador resin that is just beautiful as well. I was looking for Waylander (friesian/andalusian crosses) photos, and stumbled across the webshots entry because she shows hers as a Waylander. Neat idea!

I would so love to do this but I have no idea where to start. I'd really just like to repaint a few of my models then think about CMing. Any tips?

I know, it's quite daunting! I'm amazed at what people can do to their models and how incredibly creative they can be.

Have you CM'd at all? I'd recommend starting with one that isn't your favorite. The first one tends not to be a keeper, you know?! hehe. I've used craft type acrylics and acrylics in the tube, and I do prefer the tubes but they cost more so it depends how much you think you'll like doing it in the long run. What colors are you wanting to start with? Are you wanting to try to add mohair/thread or just repaint? I don't want to throw too much info at you all at once especially if it's not the area you're interested in, so let me know what you'd like to do and I'll see if I can give a few tips. ^___^

I figure I should try my hand at repainting before going onto more difficult things like repositioning (which I'd LOVE to learn one day!), hairing, etc. But, otherwise, I've never CM'd, just had this crazy desire to do so.

Do you like the acrylics? I have a friend that does them in soft pastels.

Did the MB Closet arrive safe and sound yet? The DC says it has been delivered.

Yesh, thank you very much! I hadn't made it to the post office until yesterday, and then online today. My Mom is going to LOVE it! I think she'll like the chai latte mix, too! And thank you ever so much for the chocolate and candle!

Yayness! I'm glad it arrived safely and that the freebies are a hit, too! (I *love* those packets of chai mix, especially in this weather...)
