Cameryn's BCC entry

Today's first Best Customs Contest entry comes from Cameryn Oswald of Camelot Studios.

I first met Cameryn virtually through NaMoPaiMo and then in person at BreyerFest 2019. We're Facebook friends, and I followed her studio page. Despite that, I never had any inkling that she a performance person. Imagine my surprise when she unveiled her very ambitious and very accomplished 2023 BreyerFest Best Customs Contest entrant in the Performance category.
Cameryn writes: I’ve been inactive on social media recently, mostly because my life has been consumed by the standardbred horses, both real and model. This is the culmination of the past year: Two standardbred pacers dueling to the finish line.
I started with two Lonesome Glory models. 
One has a Constantia head and the other was completely made from scratch
I’m not a professional tack maker, but I made all the tack myself, including designing some of the hardware pieces, such as the cart clips and bit.  
I also designed the wheels on the cart and welded the main frame together.
There were quite a few times when I really thought I wasn’t going to finish... 
Somehow I made it!
I am so incredibly proud of this piece and am amazed by the result!
Congratulations, Cameryn. I am also amazed. Please keep making tack and showing performance. You are obviously really good at this!
