I don't really collect trads much nowadays (and am actually going to be selling most of my small collection off, lol) but I just couldn't resist this one.
Model Horse Love forum turned five years old this year and to celebrate, Clare ordered up a limited run of Stone TBs for the occasion! As far as I know there are but a handful left to buy but I'd definitely recommend them as mine is absolutely gorgeous!

He's my first Stone (well, excepting from a Chip I have knocking around somewhere, lol) and wow, I wasn't expecting him to be so huge!
As I've been in a real Stargate mood recently, I named him 'Countdown to Destiny' after one of the pieces of music for Stargate: Universe.

I made his headcollar pretty quickly so it's not my finest work but I'm pleased with it nonetheless.

Here he is with fellow TBs; Abydos and Robin.

Ohhh, he is *gorgeous*! What a wonderful rich chestnut colour. And this mold has always such a cute face already, but yours looks totally kind and adorable. ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of a name, too!
I was worried that I wasn't going to like him as the photos we had from Stone weren't all that exciting but now that he's here, eeee! I do wish his mane had been painted a bit differently though; the way his forelock is exactly the same as his body colour really bothers me.
ReplyDeleteIf you plan on keeping him, then you could retouch his mane? If you are so much bothered by the paint, this sounds like a good solution to like him even more.
DeleteI did think about that but I think I'll leave it for the moment. If I really don't like it I may lop off his tail and add some mohair... :P
DeleteHe's beautiful! I'd love to get a Stone TB someday... if I ever decide what color I'd like him in, haha.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like a dark bay and a grey too... XD
