How to custom paint a flebitten grey model horse

[horsesaremylife31899]

When he custom a breyer must you sand off the logo ?

[Friesianexile]

@horsesaremylife31899 If you want to show it, yes. Judges will mark a model down for not having the logo removed.

[iHeartHickstead]

how exactly do you prep and prime a model

[Friesianexile]

@iHeartHickstead Prep = sanding seams , filling in any air bubbles on resins, fixing any mold flaws such as warped legs, sanding off the logo on breyers. That sort of stuff.

Priming, Just spray the horse with a can of either auto primer, white spray paint or spray gesso.

[BreyerGirl146]

whatmould did u use?

[Friesianexile]

@BreyerGirl146 Hi, it's a Renovatio by Debbi LerMond.

[BreyerGirl146]

@Friesianexile oh ok, and how do you gloss the hooves and eyes? like what product?

[Friesianexile]

@BreyerGirl146 I use Liquitex gloss medium and varnish

[bluebreyerlover]

omg, i lovr it so much, i am doing one right, for my faveorite horse is a flea bitten arab

[IndiBreyers]

looks sooo creepy at 2:01

[Gypsyvannerluv]

at 2:02 it looks like ketchup lol

[Omskanielar]

Good job, but I think the red got too deep, too bloody, all of the Bloody Shoulders Marks I've seen had a more chestnut-like colour... Or maybe it's just the light?

[samira5200hermi]

Okey .. clearly I can understand if you do such fun making these horses to collect and to paint, then go ahead. It looks great!

[missmarieloveJB]

If I buy an unpainted peter stone do you think I have to prime it ?

[Lyricssify]

@missmarieloveJB yesssss because the pastell will stick on better

[samira5200hermi]

Did you buy the unpainted model? And if so, how much did it cost?

[Friesianexile]

@samira5200hermi Yeah I got him unpainted, I think he was around $500 with shipping.

[samira5200hermi]

@Friesianexile Omg...thats very expencive !!!!!The horse now looks really good but how come you spend so much money for so little?

[Friesianexile]

@samira5200hermi Artist resins sculpted by good artists are never cheap. Unlike breyers they are made in very limited quantities. The horse in this vid was sculped by Debbie LerMond and was a limited run of 50 if I remember correctly. Collecting art is never cheep and this guy is in the mid price range a traditional scale Nahar by Sarah Rose will run around $1,000. So why do I buy them? I enjoy collecting high quality artistic sculptures.

[HorseshoeStables11]

wow that's amazing! Love this tutorial it'll help me A LOT!!! By the way that resin is gorgeous! :D

[1musicloverwer]

who are those haters!!! i love your work.and when i get thosehaters i will will... will...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!­! !!!! !!! !!!! !!! !!!!

[1musicloverwer]

beutiful work man! i loved it especialy the shoulder marks. 1 word out of a million... AWSOME!

[omardude39]

i think people are consontrating more on the freakey music!!!

[myct2011]

do i have to prime the horse?

and can i do it with white acrylic?

[AnimalLuver1901]

@myct2011 omg it doesnt matter! and yes you have to ALWAYS [rime the horse before you customize it!

[snowpony7]

@AnimalLuver1901 Technically you don't have to prime if you're just using acrylics. It just makes the paint stay better. Especially if you're using pastels. I used to custom mine without prepping or priming them before I started using pastels.

[AnimalLuver1901]

@snowpony7 oh, I was taught you ALWAYS have to prime the horse.

[DarkForestStables]

i love ur tattoo frieians are my favorite breed lol

[CrazyHorseStudio15]

very cool, never seen or heard of a bloody shoulder the writing was creepyy XD idk why lol but awesome vid

[rabekah25]

Very cool, but i've never seen a fleabitten grey with a bloody shoulder mark.

[96artlover]

Nice music... And nice job

[BlueFeatherStudios]

How long did this take you?

Btw, this is amazing :))

[Friesianexile]

@BlueFeatherStudios I am not sure but I would say that it was around 6 hours including the drying times

[TheNeverstopsinging]

One question how do u seal a model and what time of pastels do u use

[HorsesRcul]

Wow!!! I'm gunna do that!!

[ravenpaw1011]

wow that is really good it looks so profectional!!!

[horselover446]

The bloody shoulder is a nice touch, but it gives me shivers! It looks kind of weird!

[ZOEPUP19989]

i love your work it is amazing(: do u have any tips on painting horses in acrilics?

[Calicat1994]

very cool, I was just wondering how to do a fleabitten grey, and this was very helpful...thank you. Gorgeous horse. good job.

[ladeedog39]

aww he's beautiful, well done, and this helps a lot thanks!

[breyerwow]

Just wondering... why did you want blood on it. it looks great though

[Friesianexile]

@breyerwow Dear god how many times must I answer this type of question? If you would have bothered to check the prev posts or googled the term you would know that it has nothing to do with real blood! "The marking which appears on some greys (with a chestnut or bay base coat) known as "bloody shoulder" is a form of fleabitten grey, where the "fleabites" are heavily concentrated in one area - usually the shoulder, though these marks can appear elsewhere in the coat".

[Friesianexile]

@breyerwow

I have no problem answeing questions, But I do get sick of having to answer the same question over and over again! Especially when question had the answer no less than 7 posts ago and on the front page the term "bloody shoulder" is a term that most people who are familiar with fleabitten gray arabians would be familiar with.

your question would have been the same duh level if it was Why would you let your horse be bitten by fleas? or why have an overo instead of a tobiano?

[Friesianexile]

@breyerwow

Geeze kid, there is no need to get your undies in a bunch! you on the rag or what? There is no need to post your comment 3 times!

[ImaMordSith]

@breyerwow

You cant blame FE for being annoyed when having to answer the same OMG BLOOD, Why BLOOD question over and over. When it takes a whol 30 seconds to google the term bloody shoulder horse and get all the info on horses with the actual markings, the history of the term and legends of it. I mean i n the vid it says to use reference photos of real horses with blood marks so that should be some clue as to it being a marking real horses have and having nothing to do with actual blood!

[Friesianexile]

@ImaMordSith

Love you sweetie, see you around the stable once the DR. says its OK!

[MsSkodge]

Very nice coat. :-)

[ConkerArabian]

omg, this video will help me alot, i have a breyer arabian who was in dyre need of customizing thanks to your video, i will be able to do a flea bitten grey!:)

[showhorse37]

Where can you buy plain bryer models that are primed, or do you do them by yourself?

[Friesianexile]

@showhorse37

You can try ebay or mhsp but it would be far more easy to buy some beat up breyers and a can of white spray paint primer.

[carolstiles]

Thank you. I did find one for sale for about $495. Is that what you had tp pay? Yikes!

[carolstiles]

Dear Friesianexile, Do you know the name or number of the white model horse you used in this video as I really like it and would like to buy one. Is it a breyer? Thanks, Carol

[Friesianexile]

@carolstiles

Hi, its a resin called Renovatio sculpted by Debbi LerMond.

[BloodWolf119]

How do you prep and prime the modle? :P

[usethe4ce1]

What is a bloody shoulder mark??? :P

[Friesianexile]

@usethe4ce1

"The marking which appears on some greys (with a chestnut or bay base coat) known as "bloody shoulder" is a form of fleabitten grey, where the "fleabites" are heavily concentrated in one area - usually the shoulder, though these marks can appear elsewhere in the coat".

[qrackerlover]

do you use just plain white for the mane and tail?

[Friesianexile]

@qrackerlover

Yep.

[XxRisingVelocityxX]

lol sorry drowning pool..... but there IS something wrong with you. LOL . wow this is SO FRIGGIN PRETTY! IMA DO IT!

[Friesianexile]

@love2ridepony

To get white without brushmarks you need to thin down your white paint and apply it in very light coats.

[honeyhearts27]

cool tattoo

[Friesianexile]

@honeyhearts27

Thanks!

[EmilysPetChannel79]

What do you use for the gloss? I curious........

[Friesianexile]

@EmilysPetChannel79

Liquitex gloss medium and varnish

[EmilysPetChannel79]

@Friesianexile

Thanks for the help because I have used fingernail polish and it leaves a waxy residue on the model. Also Last night I started a Bloody Shouldered Arabian that is Fleabitten Grey! He is a classic Breyer and is turning out nicely! Thanks for all your help, and I might have some more questions before I done with the custom Arabian.

Sincerely,

Emily

[Clover2247]

@supdood2 It's a form of flea bitten grey where the "bites" are concentrated heavily on one area. It's known as a "bloody shoulder." I think it's common in most greys.

[alinanazarenko1]

Reeeeenoooo O_O

[supdood2]

i get it now

[supdood2]

i dont get it

why would you want blood marks on a pretty model like that?

[Friesianexile]

@supdood2

Sigh, I am getting tired of having to explain this but here we go again "The marking which appears on some greys (with a chestnut or bay base coat) known as "bloody shoulder" is a form of fleabitten grey, where the "fleabites" are heavily concentrated in one area - usually the shoulder, though these marks can appear elsewhere in the coat".

[Friesianexile]

Continued from above - therefor many real horses have theese type of markings and so many judges will look down on a plain grey model so i see no problem with having a model with the markings.

[breyerhorseluver12]

how do u do the eyes? i have the painting down!

[Lordsangels03]

is that mould a stallion??

[Friesianexile]

@Lordsangels03

Yes, Why?

[Lordsangels03]

@Friesianexile because i have one on the way and i thought it was a stallion haha:Pthx

[gobarrelracing]

@Lordsangels03  its a foal dummy! no jk girl lol. wussup?

[SkatesNSaddles]

Got it, thanx so much! I just thought it was some sort of emo thing =)

[BlackBeautyStudios]

this is absolutly BEAUTIFUL!!! AWW

[SkatesNSaddles]

What up with the bloody shoulder???

[Friesianexile]

@SkatesNSaddles

Google it, you will find plenty of references but in short "The marking which appears on some greys (with a chestnut or bay base coat) known as "bloody shoulder" is a form of fleabitten grey, where the "fleabites" are heavily concentrated in one area - usually the shoulder, though these marks can appear elsewhere in the coat".

[cindyericharley17]

i love that resin so much

[horseihorsei121]

another thing to help you in the show ring is glossing the nostrils too. to make them look wet on the inside. just a friendly tip. no harm meant. but your customs are VERY insanely beautiful!

[BreyerJunki869]

my horse has the bloody shoulder, but hes dappled! its the coolest thing! awesome custom too!

[IeshaLover94]

Thank you so much fro making this video, so helpful!

[jesinnc]

beautiful!!! also, one quick question, what does seal mean? thanks!!! :D

[Friesianexile]

To seal the horse means to use matte finish spray  to seal in the work that has already been done so that it won't come off or smear.

[jesinnc]

thanks so much!!! :D

[breyerfan1234]

omg hes amazing

[RuffianLuvers97]
