Here’s some pics of the youth reserve, champion, and overall grand champion I took back at the hotel. I won three glossies!

Here’s the grand champ overall Padre,

Champion Highland Pony,

And the reserve champ, the Shetland Pony.

When I first heard what the prizes were, I thought I wouldn’t like them. Seeing them in person, I must say, I like.

Breyerfest- Day 1

July 20, 2012December 28, 2024Kristian BeverlyLeave a comment

Today we started the trek to Breyerfest by leaving at 9. We first stopped for food then we were on the road for a couple of hours until stopping for gas.
We entered Maryland and stopped, taking a picture of the scenic view,

Kept driving,
Got to West Virginia,

Passed into Hurricane, West Virginia,
And the clouds began to roll in. Maybe Hurricane lives up to it’s name? Stormy weather.
Lightning and thunder started, then rain poured out of the sky. It was chaotic, with a huge line of blinking cars.

After a couple more hours, we entered Kentucky,

And the stormy weather continued.
Now we’re settled in the hotel.
Well, that’s all for tonight! Tomorrow will be special runs and shopping!

Pre-Breyerfest

Today I didn’t write a how-to. Instead, I started packing models, props, and all model horsey items for Breyerfest.
I did sorta make something.
I made a bag, with a collection of buttons I gotten over the years.

Taming The Fender

July 16, 2012December 28, 2024Kristian BeverlyLeave a comment

Fenders on saddles twist out whenever a person rides in the saddle. For model horses, the fenders usually just lay at the side of the model, unless there’s a doll, and it could still be stiff and unrealistic.

So do you ever wonder how people can get those fenders to stay like there’s a person in it? Well here’s how I do it.

First you need a completed saddle and fenders set in place.
Next I take clean water and a paintbrush,

And make the fenders wet, but not soaking. Then I gently sculpt them into the position like there’s someone in them.

Let dry, and repeat if it doesn’t stay.
Once done, you have completed you redone fenders!
