Got goats?

I certainly do! 

Of course, mine aren't of the real-live, breathing variety.
They are significantly smaller and easier to manage.
Reggie and Regina are the OG Braymere goats.
Reggie is an original finish Breyer Companion Animal Goat #1521. He was produced from 2002 to 2004. Regina is a customized version of the same. I removed her horns and beard, repositioned the lifted legs and painted her with acrylics. I can't remember when did all this, other than a long time ago.
That makes three goats I've painted to date.
Hopefully, the number will increase soon. I still have one more goat on my project shelf.
As for custom/resin goats I did not paint, I have one of those, too.
This tied goat was sculpted, cast and painted by Laura Skillern. He's hard to photograph, so the pictures are hers as well.
Even though he's "just a performance prop," Laura spared no details on this finishwork. Look how cute his little face is!
I am a model horse collector. This is probably enough goats.
Except... Goat Dear and M-a-a-a are mothers.
And kids are lively and full of fun.
Also, I'd really love to have a portrait model of Spike.
How many models does it take to make a collection? Perhaps I am a model goat collector, too.

  1. I love goats too. They are just hilarious goofballs. I only have the one OF Breyer goat in my collection (Reggie's twin). I didn't make him a halter, but he has a collar with a bell I made instead.
