Equine Sculpture - coming soon
I've had an interest in model making for many years, but only recently I've decided to put some serious work in and look at producing my own equine sculpture work - either with a view to selling or as donations to model horse shows.
So far, I've produced the two small horse head plaques, and been having lots of fun learning to make moulds and cast them in resin!
The first, 'Gurjar' depicts the head of a Marwari horse with his wonderful curved ears. I've been experimenting with casting the plaque in polyester and polyurethane resins, painting a couple of them, and I may make a few in different coloured resins.
My second plaque, depicting the head of a native breed Dales pony, was intended as a souvenir of a UK live show this year, but resin casting issues meant I didn't get the chance to complete enough castings in time.
Also in the works is a Stablemate scale (slightly bigger than 1:32 scale) Criollo horse sculpture. 'Gauchito' will be finished one day, I promise.
