Unhappiness is… (lighthearted post)

While I lay here and tried to come up with different models to look up on eBay and wondering what I could blog about…it hit me…forming congas of new(ish) molds.

How am I supposed to get a conga going when only one or two models have been released on a mold?  I know when they’re brand new you’re getting in on the ground floor, so to speak, but when you really like a model, there’s no patience waiting for new ones.  Like the Stock Horse Mare, Cassidy…there’s only one release on her so far…


But that’s not even the worse of it.  How about when you have all of the releases on the mold, like the Walking TB…

Well, maybe not ALL of them, but the non-unicorn ones…but wait!  There’s more!  How about the Warmblood Mare that’s had a lot of releases but most of them are Unicorns.  I mean, seriously…there’s been 16 releases and 8 of them are unicorns and one is a sun catcher.  I just don’t like the non-horse models, no matter how much I like the mold.  And I had decided not to get the Spirit series because of the cartoonish eyebrows, but the Loping QH isn’t too bad…

Nowhere near as bad as the heavily made up Andalusian Stallion.  He reminds me of my grandfather’s 2nd wife, Mercedes…
She often wore heavy makeup like that.  I will figure out how to remove the eyebrows at the very least.  Lol.   Then I’ll see about the eyes.  The sclera isn’t supposed to be colored but rather the eyeball itself so if I decide I can’t handle the sclera being such a bright blue I may try to paint it white and the eyeball blue.

Well, I guess that’s it for now.  I have my finger in the stablemates sales so wish me luck.  One is an “or best offer” so unless someone snipes me at the last moment, I should win the two that end today.  Til next time!

  1. Rubbing alcohol is useful for a first stab at removing paint. Use it to moisten a Qtip.
