Today and tomorrow has been announced as no school. Hurricane Sandy hit today. Most stores closed at one, but my mom and I went to the craft store to make sure we had enough entertainment.
Getting back to model horses, Someone Like You is getting his final touches. All that is left are hooves, eyes, muzzle and a few touch up areas. I’m thinking about naming him Hurricane Sandy.
Someone Like You has gotten his markings blocked in. The most important thing to remember about painting any type of marking is to always find references. Since Someone Like You is a paint horse, I just searched for pinto horses. Whether or not it was an actual paint horse didn’t matter. If the horse is a breed that’s really specific, then it’s a good idea to only look for pictures of your breed.
Well, Frank-A-Storm hasn’t hit yet, but it’s getting pretty cloudy. I’ve heard that Harrisburg will be in the eye of the storm, so I have no idea if the power will stay on this week.
Someone Like You….
Since Frank-A-Storm has yet to hit Pennsylvania, I got to get some model horsey stuff done. I haven’t air brushed in a while and this was my first time trying a palomino.
Someone Like You, l I finished painting right before Breyerfest so I could show him in performance. But I always had the image of a palomino paint in my mind for him.
So I prepped him today and painted him with my air brush. Some of the paint ran, but his new white markings will cover that.
He still needs shading around his eyes, markings painted, and eyes done, but he’s coming along.
On the hindquarters is a two digit number. The brand tells you what year a pony was born.
And this lovely pony was born in 1995, the same year I was born!
Hope that helps! The first time I went to Chincoteague and Assateague I was confused about why the adult horses had numbers on their hindquarters!
