Elisa's BCC entry

By definition, model horse collectors collect model horses. However, most of tend to have secondary collections filled with things that pair with but are not actually model horses.

For example, a lot of us - myself included - have a small herd of model cows.
Some of these are strictly performance props, but others are collection pieces in their own right.
What can I say? Horses and cows are a natural pairing.
Because of this, I was delighted but not surprised to see Elisa Cook's Fantasy Entry for this year's BreyerFest Best Customs Contest.
It's a winged bull!
Elisa writes: Meet Kandarie the barn owl bull! I used the chest/barrel of Kong as the chest for the bull. The wings are removable for transport. Everything else was sculpted with magic sculpt/apoxie. He is quite heavy! I never sculpted a bull before, so this was a huge challenge. I am so proud of my chunky, feathery boy.
It's so nice to see a little bovine flair in the Best Customs Contest. Congratulations, Elisa, and good luck to you and Kandarie at BreyerFest!
