Well I wanted to do more this week, but thanks to a nasty electrical storm my satellite connection wasn't working! But wanted to show off the NAN piece I am finishing up this next week. This set is called "The Journey" and is a tribute to a dear lost friend of the hobby, Lisa Salamandick. Lisa lost her battle with cancer last year, and I will go into the full story of how I got to know her later....but she so loved arabians, especially dancing horses. So the horse of the set is a drastically remade breyer lonesome glory into a fiery dancing stallion. The set comes complete with halter and breastcollar set made by Lisa herself...generously donated my uber gal pal Kathy Wiggins (who I would be lost without!)
Here is the head, its a remade PAM head and I did a mane and tail full of action to really make him dramatic

Full body shot, he is doing a correct spanish walk, think of all the fun he will be to show!

And the matching camel, this is a remake of a breyer FAM, no joke! I showed her at Breyerfest last year and she was a huge hit! Now the set comes with a resin copy, the only copy that will be sold to the public!

Here is the poor thing under rubber, casting next week! Gotta run for today, its getting ready to storm again I have to unplug everything so it doesn't get fried again, let me know what you think!

All I can say is wow! And what a special thing to do a tribute to Lisa :-) Huggs, Jane
Wonderful! I can't wait to see it all put together.
You rock!
Just awesome -- they're both really special.
What was the dancing horse originally before you customized it? It almost looks like it used to be a Lonesome Glory. Thanks!
The lack of Canadians in your post dissapoitns me :(
Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. The Dancing Horse was a lonesome glory, with a PAM head and totally new neck.
Oh you Canucks will get your day soon, Mountie the Moose is creating quite a mess here!
