Breyer!
My favorite stablemate is the horses in the Stablemates Horse Lover's Collection
10 Horse Shadow Box Set. My favorite Classic/freedom is the Running Wild set. My favorite traditional is Snowbird.

I’m waiting for Cody’s Wish to come out! It was so exciting to watch him race!
|
I know! isn't Cody's wish related to Mr Prospector? Plus Cody's Wish has such a cute story behind the name!

I got in my Spectre, and i also got in Slither...but i am a bit disappointed in him. He didn't look like the green on the website picture...more of just a dark paint job with a green sheen. I would have preferred he was more of the green color than just the dark grayish/blackish color. Nonetheless, as a limited edition, i am glad to have him in my collection. Did anyone else get him? What did you think?
![]() Click to display Here is Slither, looking like i thought he would...but he comes looking more like the second picture, which is one i just found up on Ebay. At least the sheen is green when you move him... ![]()

At last I've finished etching my custom. He's a paint/pinto etched from a black beauty that had had bump spots from age. I'll repair his chipped ears, touch up the paint, and clear coat him next. I'm thinking I might show him since breyerfest is back in kentucky next year

I'm planning to sign up for the deluxe collector club tomorrow...i need the special stablemate. I love the Othello mold!

I just ordered Leif today!! I am new to the Breyer hobby but am loving it! I also ordered Le Mer, Cora and Adamek.
Due to my love of unicorns, I think I am going to focus more on them for the first few months!! I need to get my hands on Obsidian!! And Hyacinth and Wisteria!! I am also in love with the Big Cat series, especially the cheetah and snow leopard. I will be on the lookout for those two for sure!! Anyways, what are your favorite unicorn models? Looking for inspiration and must-haves!!
|
They are discontinuing the Obsidian model, so hurry up and get that one if you want!
|
Oh! I'm so glad i have him!
|
Not discontinuing, I'm sorry. They're retireing him. Discontinued models they don't make anymore. Retired models they continue to make.

Not discontinuing, I'm sorry. They're retireing him. Discontinued models they don't make anymore. Retired models they continue to make. You mean as in they can release a new model on the mold in the future, and discontinued is when the mold will never be rereleased? I did pick up some new ones today, from Tractor Supply! They are this years TSC exclusives! Imagine my very happy surprise when i went to the nearest one, which is a couple towns over, to get them, and i discover Breyer and some Schleichs are actually ON SALE, which like never happens it seems! So i was like, score! ![]() Here they are! Click to display First up is Gibson! Next is Lefty. ![]() And then we have Merle! ![]() I also picked up this gal, because she matches last year's FFA set, which i have the traditional sized Blue, and the ornament sized one, so this year they released the matching cow ornament. I was in FFA all four years in high school. Another one i picked up is one of the little Stablemate Unicorn Foal Surprise sets, because one of the parent unis is on the Fireheart mold. ![]() Welp, that's a wrap for now! ![]()

Thanks to a friend and a one day sale, i got Highlander...woot woot!

I don’t have pictures, but I recently went to a Tractor Supply and got two models I’ve been wanting for a while! Merle and Applegate have been added to my collection.
|
So I discovered a spectacular nail polish effect, and after some trial and error I've figured out how to use it on breyers. I've coated a dun stablemate in aurora chrome. I love this stuff and I am going to use it on a traditional size gypsy vanner. It shows the existing coat underneath too.
I also made a pinstriped black horse (really hard to do, i wouldn't recommend), a dapple grey with silver hair (easy and great result), and a seriously glittery roan (my favorite small custom) since my test horse was in a four-pack.
