These adorable little horses are the fruits of a project I have been working on for over 2 years now.
Standing at just 263 mm tall, these perfect little G&J Lines replicas, are the space saving dream!
I designed these from scans of my little Lines 21 “Ghost” and spent many hours editing and redesigning before 3D printing using PLA which is a the most environmentally friendly option I could find. (PLA stands for Polylactic Acid and is a bio-plastic, made from cornstarch.) The main shape of the bows are sustainable timber made from bamboo, so only the small parts are made from new timber. .
Fully prepared and ready to paint!
All the hard work has been done for you. They have had a coat of grey primer which is a suitable base for most paints. (Please test in an inconspicuous area if you are not. sure) I have used a variety of paints and pastels in the past which have all worked well.
5mm glass eyes are included as well as 4 screws for attaching to the bows. I recommend pre-drilling to avoid splitting the wood.
Accessories such as mohair for manes and tails are widely available on Etsy and eBay, and I can also recommend Horsingaround.com for stirrups and bits (small traditional seems to work well)
If you are customising to a realistic finish, I can highly recommend Boo Tack Saddlery, who have a copy of this model and can do tack to fit.
