I prefer to paint only resins or late model Breyers and Stones, but I will make exceptions.

I do not alter in any way the artists resin nor do I repair any sculpting or casting problems.

Initial painting of the horse is done with an airbrush. Many subtle layers of overlay produce a very realistic looking color. I use only top quality acrylic artist paints., never craft paints.
After the airbrushing, the horse receives hand painted details:
Markings are all "feathered", white noses and fetlocks have "pinking", eyes are blended and shaded for a realistic look.

If the model is a Breyer or Stone, upraised hooves will be painted and shaded to resemble the actual underside of the hoof. If you desire the hoof dremeled, there will be an extra $25 charge. You must inform me of your desire to have them done at the time of the order.

When the horse is complete, it is coated with a protective satin finish, ear tips are coated with matt nail polish, eyes and hooves are coated with several coats of gloss polish and a tiny bit of gloss added to the inside of the nostrils on horses that are in action.

All are guaranteed Open Live Show Quality. LSQ means that the paint is smooth and applied carefully. No obvious flaws in paint such as "unidentified objects" in the paint or finish etc.

LSQ does not mean perfect. There may be tiny flaws that are present in any artists work. I work carefully and will make a champion effort to produce a quality model.

If a model is returned for rework it will be slotted into the schedule at the first available time, possibly as long as four weeks.

****When I receive your deposit/payment, I will give you an approximate date for completion. Final payment must be received before I paint. I keep very close to my schedule so be sure to plan your final payment to reach me before that date. I only book four to six weeks ahead at any time.
I do not paint a model until it is paid for and late payment could result in your model being moved back to the end of the schedule. (Approx. 4 weeks)
This insures that everyone gets their model on time and eliminates long months of waiting.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this important stuff! :)
