Space-y Sport Horses

 There's always one horse in every barn who's just... Out of it. The one who's spooked by the barn cat sitting outside their paddock, rather than the giant tractor that's making a bunch of noise. The one who's determined to find all the hay under their bucket instead of eating from the hay net.

BUT, this post isn't totally dedicated to the oddball horse, but to the slightly smaller, slightly more unique... The customised model horse. A customised galactic horse.




 
 The body has been floating around my work desk for a while, a blue roan more recently. I was NOT a fan of my feeble roaning and body colouring, so off he went to become something beautiful and realistic. Hopefully.
 
  During the priming process, he fell and became terribly messed up. I left him half primed for a while, but one day I was overcome with a desire to paint a galaxy effect. Not having any canvas, I was left with one option. A plastic pony- galaxy version.
 
 He actually has more dark blue and purples mixed in, but my camera refused to pick them up. So his blues are visible. Silver seemed cool, so his hooves, eyes, mane and tail became metallic. He's a cool lil' dude, and makes my conga a happy foursome. 

  
Also, Happy Mother's Day!!
