The Fox and The Hound

Remember the 1981 Disney movie The Fox and The Hound? Well after getting 13 Breyer dalmatians at Breyerfest, I have decided to make myself a couple hound dogs. One day, I will buy myself a model fox.
But today is Hound day. I wanted this one to be standing with a lowered tail and a tilted head.
After opening up the bag, I examined the ‘dally’ for any mold issues.

Seeing none I heated up the tail with my heat gun and lowered it. I also sharpied where to cut.

Then the trusty dremel was brought out to do the work.

I stuffed the hole with foil,

And got to filling in the hole. She still needs some work done, but she’s on her way to being my first Breyer foxhound!

Prop Day

After a couple of days to unwind from Breyerfest, I felt it was time to break out some of the goodies I bought in Kentucky.
First it was the goat..

I ripped off the beard and filled the hole in with apoxie.

I decided to paint it after my friend’s goat, Cookie.

First coat,

After a little drying, blocked in the horn and hooves

Now Cookie the prop goat will dry for the night and hopefully I’ll have a chance to do more to her tommorrow.

On Friday, while walking around the park, we stopped by to see some of the open show. I especially loved the customs and performance horses. We didn’t stay long, but I did get some pictures! If any of these models are yours or you know who they belong to, comment and I’ll add it in!
