About my work
ABOUT ME
I am a UK model horse painter and customiser, based in Northern England, who has been involved in the hobby for more than a decade. As a regular rider who loved horses, and already enjoyed painting wargames figures and model aircraft, I was delighted when I came across the model horse hobby!
Since then, I've built up my own collection of models to exhibit at live shows - mostly smaller scale artist edition resin and commercially produced plastic models. And I've been pretty much obsessed with making custom models as realistic and eye-catching as possible. I use various different materials and techniques. including hand-painted acrylic paints, airbrushed acrylics, pastels, and coloured or white pencils, to get realistic and smooth effects to suit the colour and pattern of each piece.
SALES
Each month I produce a Spotlight Custom, something a little bit different or special, as a one-off sales piece. Check my For Sale page, Facebook page and the Model Horse Sales Pages website on the first day of each month - be warned, they often sell fast!
I regularly take model painting commissions, specialising in Stablemate, Micro Mini and LittleBit scale models, but will occasionally paint something bigger - please enquire for details.
I also sell a selection of finished plastic customs at UK live shows I attend.
MODEL SHOWING
My work regularly wins or places highly at UK live shows, including Top Ten places at the British Model Equine Championships show (BMECs).
