Thanks to everyone who commented favorably on my Smart Sonny Dee/Smart Chic Olena combo that was featured in yesterday's post. Although he's not a part of my resin show string, Smart Design is a beloved member of the Braymere herd. He's here to stay!
Another one of my creations from the same time period is Sophistique. She was my entry in a drastic custom contest that was put together by a group on Model Horse Blab in 2005 or 2006. Can you tell which two models I used to create her?
(Hint: the leftover parts and pieces were also featured in yesterday's post.)

I'm guessing the Classic polo pony's decapitated head.... :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the tail but Sophistique is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteShe's the Hackney pony's body, correct?
ReplyDeleteI love the paint custom! Check out my blog? WhitebrookeEquineArt. You're an ispiration to me and it would make my day if you could check out my posts!
ReplyDeleteI don't love Sophie's tail, either, but I was going for the show hackney pony look so...
ReplyDeleteFor the record, she was made from a classic Black Stallion body and the Polo Pony head.
I think Smart Design is AWESOME! Don't know why you aren't currently showing him, as he just looks so natural and elegant.
ReplyDeleteYour little Hackney Hybrid is a cutie, too. (But poor Polo Pony, you know I think it's a sacrilege to carve up a grey...;-)
I did show Smart Design for a while, but he really isn't a halter horse. He's not terrible, but he's not top flight either. I have two nicer Paints so he stays home. Hopefully, someday I'll get back into photo showing. I think he could have a nice performance career in that realm.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I sort of hated chopping off the polo pony's head. I'd planned to use a classic Love TB head, but it wasn't quite big enough. I scanned my shelf, realized that the polo pony head would work and decapitated her before I could have second thoughts. Poor thing. I bet she never saw it coming...
