It took a lot of practice to get where I am with the breyer customs. But The TOP contest is for all skill levels, and is judged on creativity, not how skilled you are. Take a look at the gallery (and past years galleries) of the tricked out ponies. Some entrants didn't change the position or didn't add much to it. Some were just painted differently, and that's ok too! That's what makes it so fun, is you can do and add whatever you want to it.

I saw a really cool one once that was covered entirely in rhinestones. They didn't change anything on it other than that, and it was really neat. I saw anotherwith broken china plates. There was another that was decorated in icing (then heavily coated in protective coating). That one had to be one of the best ones in the group!

The contest is pretty much over this year, but I encourage you to look into it next year! You can even practice on other model horses in the mean time :}

wow... i saw the gallary, but what do you use to alter it? i normaly use super sculpy, but i dont think that will work on a breyer horse. it would melt in the oven.

im pretty good at sculpting myself, i just want to kow the materials you use so i may get started myself.

I used to use Supersculpy, believe it or not! I would heat set it over a candle flame. You can also heatset sculpy by boiling it too. You have to be careful doing it wither way. You can stick them in the oven, depending on the model and size.

Now I use Ave's Apoxie Sculpt (do a google search to find places that carry it). Its on the expensive side, but I think its worth it.

Others, I think use Gapoxio, which you can find on the Rio Rhondo web site.

I'm sure though, that you can use any other air hardening clay too, though you might have problems with the clay shrinking a bit. I'd say experiment

I'm really enjoing sculpture! >.<

I find this magical animal realy amacing!! Y like how you coloured the tail!

I part I don't like is the face, it is pretty... ugly! xD

daaaaang this is amazing!
The paintjob is fabulous, seriously, it looks like it's glowing, I don't know if that's because of the flash or something, but it looks great. The details on the feathers are wonderful, and the back feet look great!

Well good luck!

This looks great, Tyr!!
