Today was a rainy PA day. My original plan was to start going through my Breyerfest pictures.

Instead I decided to start on a parade set. Because that’s a simple one day project. Right? Haha

One of the models I brought home from Breyerfest was the bay True North. He’s the perfect OF performance horse.
I’ve avoided making a parade set because of how many pieces there are. But my True North would look nice in one so I finally took the plunge.
It was a choice between Watership Down, Harry Potter, or The Walking Dead.  All of them have enough objects that’d lend well to a themed parade set but I settled on Watership Down. I decided to base the rabbits after the art style of the movie. (If you’ve never read the book though—you totally should!).
First I printed out the pattern. I got it from Keriokie Entertainment and altered a few of the pieces.
I used my tracing film and drew out what I wanted the embossing to look like and then transferred it over to thin metal sheet.
