WIP: Post-Breyerfest Etcetera

I have big (as in drastic) plans for Giselle as soon as they release her as a regular run. I haven't been this enamored with a model (from a customizing standpoint) since Alborozo.

I'm starting simple and working my way up from there:

Update on Doodlebug. I'm thinking he'll be a blanket appaloosa and will be a sales piece.

The below models are color tests.

When I airbrush, I like to paint each layer on a test body first (usually a mini) before I apply it to the model I'm really focused on. That way, if something doesn't work I can adjust it before I start applying paint to a drastic custom or expensive resin. If things go horribly, horribly wrong they get tossed into a bleach bucket. I haven't sold any of these before because I usually don't take the time to finish them. However, I'm trying to make time to get these guys the details I think they deserve. They'll be listed to MH$Ps upon completion for under $50.

The bay was for Jessie's Girl. I painted King of the Wing in the same batch, but skipped the red layer and didn't add dark burnt umber and black to the body. Virtually the same mix, but two drastically different bays.

The buckskin was for the braided Alborozo I posted a few months ago.

This is a test of a new technique. I'm rather charmed by her so far and haven't decided her eventual fate or how to apply the technique in the future.
