#maureenlove

I started this little custom during the @maresinblack Zoom call last week, and was finally able to put in some more time on her today. She's a SM Silky Sullivan, and one of my first custom attempts as a kid; I tried to hair her and it went... Badly. But I love these old #MaureenLove pieces, so I decided to salvage her. I gave her a Greyson tail, new mane, shortened neck, and turned head. Her head/neck still needs some work, and I need to refine her tail, but I like the direction she's going. The last two photos were from the first sculpting session, before I trimmed her mane and neck. #CustomModelHorse #CustomBreyern#BreyerCustom #stablemate #BreyerResculpt https://www.instagram.com/p/CVhzuI0FQIG/?utm_medium=tumblr

This #ModelHorseMonday is about this lovely girl I found at an antique shop. She's a #HagenRenaker mini Percheron (tail down). I believe this particular girl is from the later end of the run in the mid-1960s, from the San Dimas factory, but I'm not 100% sure. She was only produced by HR in two colors, white and a rare dapple gray, and then a limited run was produced in black by #HagenRenakerTennessee for the collector's club in 2019. She was sculpted and designed by #MaureenLove She's one of the molds that #Breyer licensed from HR, and produced in plastic in various colors from the mid-1970s until 2009, and then again from 2014-2017. My girl also brought some friends home with her. The dinosaurs are bone china, made in Japan, but I can't find anything about when, or who the company was. I know they made a few more species though. I found a photo of a matching Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus Rex. The horse is less than 3 inches tall, so the dinosaurs are maybe an inch and a half. . . . . . #ClinkyHorse #PorcelainHorse #ChinaHorse #ChinaModelHorse #ClinkyModelHorse https://www.instagram.com/p/CTgWcO0LWna/?utm_medium=tumblr
