Update 8: In my "Studio"

I know it's been a while, but I've been busy with school and became bored of working on the same models over and over and never getting them finished. I have contacted Amanda Swensen and she said she would help me with some models, but of course I'd have to pay. :) But heres a quick update of everything, short sweet and to the point.

Amanda is going to finish and paint this guy to a lovely Chestnut with some chrome. I am really excited, and hes going to look awesome! Hes also getting a new tail, but Amanda is going to choose whatever she wants.
He was going to come out cool, but then the primer messed up and I don't know how to fix bad paint yet. I don't have the right tools to remove paint/primer, so I gave up. Hes going on my Shelf of Shame.
If his stupid little foot didn't fall off he would have came out cool! He used to be the rearing Andy, but I moved him so hes maybe turning a barrel? I don't know, I might sell him, but hes going on the Shelf of Shame eventually too.
I did this for Issy, and I need to find a way to make him stand on one foot. I still have no idea how to do that, but It'll come to me eventually. She might sell him.
I made my first mane, forelock, and tail! The tail needs work, but it looks decent! I need to finish filling in some holes, but I think this girl has potential, but who really knows. :)
I have a suprize for someone with this guy, but I can't tell you because I don't know if she reads my blog! ;)

I am sending my models off to Susan to go to a couple shows in Illanois, I am so excited! Issy is going to show some of her models too, it will be her first show. Well off to the backyard, I need to work on the drafter ;)

Update 7: New Hamster!

(I just thought that was a cool picture of my ribbon!)

I got a new hamster! His name is Spot Spot and hes ADORABLE! :)

I've been hard at work on this girl, she is really hard to sand it right, but its getting there. I took all of these pictures a couple days ago, so all horses have been further sanded and look just a little closer to good enough to be painted.
Hes coming along! I did the other leg, but I don't like the way it came out. Oh well.

I want to make this guy into a horse thats turning a barrel, like barrel racing, but his foot fell off and now I'm scrued.
I have worked on more, but I am exhausted. I'll update another day with what I've done.
