Casting Nahar - a 1/3 BJD-Scale Horse

http://www.bjdcollectasy.com/ A video of Secret Loft Designs http://www.secretloftdesigns.com/ Nahar being cast and finished for the doll convention BJDC Austin. Sheri McKinney of SLD created the horse as a companion to 1/3 scale BJDs. The casting of Nahar was completed by Resins by Randy http://www.resinsbyrandy.com/. The company specializes in casting model horses. The casting process for Nahar is similar to the process used to cast resin dolls.
(CORRECTION to video - The horse was not painted in acrylic paint. The artist originally planned to use acrylics, but eventually switched to oil paint to achieve a more blended finish.)

The horse at the end is beautiful! He's so large!

He is in scale to a 1/3 BJD, and I will have to ask if he was modeled after a certain breed. He sure isn't a pony! I hope to have some more photos of him to add to the BJDcollectasy website once Sheri has recovered from BJDC. She worked hard to have a painted Nahar completed for the show. Now that the show is over, I'm sure she's exhausted!

@BJDcollectasy I can understand if she is exhausted and I know what you mean when you say he isn't a pony! ^-^

I added to the article and I'll post here the size info:

"This impressive art piece stands 27" from floor to ear tip. Length from nose to farthest end of tail is 30". The actual 1/3 scale makes for a large 16 hand riding horse for regular 60 cm bjds that also works well with the new larger dolls on the market. His legs are reinforced with steel for strength."

He comes with a molded mane & tail, but they can be removed and hair substituted like the sample dappled horse.

He looks like an American Thoroughbred but either way, he is a fabulous sculpt.
