Model Horse Customizing
Model horse customising is an incredibly fun activity. It can be as easy as repainting a model a different colour to remaking and changing the model completely. The art of customising a model horse involves a series of processes done in order to make the horse look more realistic. These include removing the factory seams and logos, carving out nostrils, ears and realistic frogs and heel bulbs in hooves. Some people opt to move and resculpt the limbs so the horse appears to be in a different gait, or alter the position of the head and neck. Some choose to resculpt the mane and tail from epoxy while others use mohair to create a ‘real’ looking mane and tail. There is no end to the customising possibilities and often artists go as far as to create a totally original sculpture, completely unrecognisable from the mold it originated as!
