Prices do not include return shipping and insurance of completed model. Add $9.00 for each trad/classic scale or $6.00 for each of smaller scales. Multi item orders will be given a shipping discount.

Price does not include the body. I can find the body for you. I will add my cost to your total.

Prices do not include full prepping. Prep prices are:
Traditional Scale - $15
.00
Classic Scale - $12.00
LittleBit/PaddockPal Scale - $8.00
StableMate/MicroMini Scale - $5.00

Time payments can be worked out on orders totalling $125 or more. I do require 50% of the estimated total in advance and the remainder paid within 30 days.

I accept partial trades on Vintage Models, new molds, some china/ceramics and remake quality bodies. I will no longer do full trading. Check out my want list to see what I am looking for or email/write for list. This list is not always up to date and accurate so please let me know what you have.

"Prepping" includes: logo removal; all seams sanded, filled and smoothed; any irregularities smoothed (bumps and ridges); nostrils/lips resculpted as needed; ears and all 4 hooves carved (except for china/ceramics); basecoated with primer and two light coats of gesso (a third thin coat covers high impact areas- barrel, ears, hooves, shoulders).

Models/sculptures are painted with acrylics by airbrush with hand detailing or painted by hand.

I do a variety of dappling styles: circle dapples with jagged edges (the finished dapples aren't perfect circles), star dapples and a combination of the two. I prefer to do subtle dappling and can produce realistic dappling on SM's. I haven't tried it on Micro Minis yet!!

Finished model/sculpture is sealed with my preferred method. It seems more durable and scratch resistant. Once my sealant is applied, I will then seal it with your preference of extremely matte all the way to extremely glossy. My preferred method is to seal with two coats of Crystal Clear (giving a semi-glossy appearance) followed by two coats of matte (toning down to a "show sheen" appearance). This gives the model a well groomed "ready for show ring" coat.

I will send digital photos (if receivable) of finished piece for your approval (or if you want more/less white, whatever). Then I can make changes before shipping to save us both some $$ in excess shipping!

My work is considered Live Show Quality and many are NAN qualifying. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Please read the Policies page in full prior to making any orders. It is imperative that you understand refund and cancellation policies.
Thank you, and I look forward to painting a model horse for you!
