Wowzers, There's More Cows!

Kristian BeverlyLeave a comment

For about a year my cow herd was made up of a single cow. She has been a versatile cow, and has been stuck everywhere from costume classes to livestock classes. But in the past month, my herd is now four.

 These two are my newest additions. The cows were sculpted by Cassie Thomas of Clover Leaf Props, and were part of my first saddle trade. They are the Buck resin and play nice with my other cows. I can’t wait to paint them, and one will be getting horns and new ears to start life as a ropin’ cow.

Breyerfest Children/Youth Prize models!

It’s that time of year again! 
Today while I was scrolling on Facebook, I saw the lineup of prizes for those participating in the Breyerfest Children/Youth Show. They are droll worthy. The info was given by the show manager and none of the pictures belong to me. This is the first year that I can remember that the prize models were made public so early.

For those who are interested in the Breyerfest C/Y prizes for this year!
Grand Champion: glossed Lindsay’s Faith

Reserve Grand champion: glossed Northern Dancer


Champion: glossed Sshameless

Reserve: glossed Appaloosa Foals


Misc/Fun class first place winners: regular run Horse of the Year

Good luck to everyone entering!
(PS are there any Breyerfest-y topics that’s anyone interested in me covering?)

Pinhole

I thought there wouldn’t be much prep work for my other cow.

Once I put on a layer of primer, I realized that there were some issues.

I know that cows are not judged at shows, but I still didn’t want pinholes to show through a new paint job.
I grabbed my modeling paste and put it on the holes before smoothing it out.

Done! Now to just sand it smooth.

New Models!

Yesterday, when I came home from school the first thing that I blurted was “Mom, did a package come for me?”
My mom stood and pondered the question for a second while I waited for an answer. The second yes came out of her lips, I was out the door, bringing my package inside (I come into the house from the garage, so I don’t see anything on the front porch).
I bought them from Seunta, and they were well packed and are clean castings (Yay!).
I had been watching and looking at the loping Amity for a while. Performance? Yes!

I had also been looking at the Moo-Ya. Because no one can have too many cows.

I bought the two models and found out that there was a buy two get another free! So I picked another pony, and Arcane is the one that came. Sw-oon!

After having a horrible school day, having models come will turn a day completely around.
