I was commissioned to paint a custom model of CLG Surfer’s Blue Moon by a fellow owner. She was almost done and I really liked her paint job. She just needed details to be done. So I decided to do a matte seal layer. But once I sprayed, I realized that there was a weird foggy film and some of the paint began to come off.

While I really liked the eyes, I couldn’t preserve the paint so it was time to strip. Not clothes. Paint. I ran out and grabbed Easy-Off.

The Art of Business Without Really Trying

1.What Do You Mean You Aren’t Like Amazon?

If a person doesn’t respond after 5 minutes of sending a private message or email, it doesn’t mean he or she has bad business practices. It means the seller has other things going on that are stopping him or her from responding. Yes, technology is here, and many have smart phones in their hands. That doesn’t mean everyone is online all the time. Waiting for a couple of hours or a couple of days is not an act of nature. It’s called patience.

Patience looks much better than recieving a message and 3 minutes saying, ” And I know u r not on your phone 24/7 but when your talking to potential business you should make an effort to respond.” No. Just no.

Once you leap into social media, there’s no going back.

4. Plastic Ponies Can Bring Joy, But Also Facepalms

Models horses are fun. Really, they are. Some play with them while others like to show. Both are great. Because there are so many sources of fun for models, each collector has details they want and details they don’t. A  performance shower may want an all around performance model. A person who plays with their model may want a model with four straight legs. Nothing’s wrong with either preference.  That’s why models are fun. The issue comes when one person doesn’t like another person’s preference. That’s when instead of a facepalm, a facehoof occurs.

Happy Belated Esther Day!
Esther day was on August 3rd, but I didn’t have a chance to do this post until now.
For model horses, when I was beginning and even still now, I’ve had plenty of wonderful people who have helped me from giving tips to giving gifts. It only seemed natural that for Esther day it would be about the model horse hobby. I love all of my hobby buds and I love all of my blog readers. ❤
Here’s a little recap of Esther Day’s purpose.

So since 2010, August 3rd or Esther Day has become a holiday that reminds us to verbalize our love for friends and family, the important people in our lives who we might not remember to say “I love you” to very often.If you’d like to learn more about the This Star Won’t Go Out Foundation, here’s the link.

Anyways, here’s the how-to. Even if you don’t show, this would be cool to add to your model horse scenes!
First you need an oval brown (paper mache I believe) box. You don’t need the lid and you can find the boxes at AcMoore. You will also need silver metallic paint.

Prime the box with white primer. You could probably skip these steps if you use metallic spray paint.

Then paint it with the silver paint. You don’t have to worry about the bottom. It will take a couple of layer for the color to be consistent.

Let dry and we will be adding the water soon!
