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 unless agreed upon.
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.
Carving of ears/noses will be an extra charge of $25.
When the horse is
complete, it is coated with a protective satin finish, 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.
Prices are for painting
only. You supply the body and pay shipping.

****
I require the work on the model be paid in full before I start work.
When I receive
your payment, I will give you an approximate date for
completion. I only book four to six
weeks ahead at any time.
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.
