In 2014 I spend some time designing toy horses for the company Mojo Fun (sold also as Animal Planet products) . I sculpted 2 models of horses of two breeds (Tinker and Orlov Trotter) and two Shetland ponies (mare and foal). It is slowly becoming a tradition for me that after finishing sculpting the horse models for this company I try to paint each of them to another colour version, just for fun and to see how they would look in different colours. Tinker Mare I've decided for chestnut sabino for the Tinker mare and I thought the big white marking on the face may and a flaxen mane will suit her as well. The original toy model is a black tobiano, the most recognisable colour for Tinkers. I wanted to paint something a bit more unusual. Orlov Trotter Here I had rather easy choice because the original toy model is dark steel grey. Therefore I could just paint the whitish grey version which I really wanted to see in a model of this particular breed. Also, I'm really happy I could sculpt Orlov Trotter toy. I think it was very interesting choice made by the brand. I don't remember any available toy representing this interesting and pretty breed of horses. Now, I wish I would be able to craft the miniature traditional Russian red bridle for this horse. On the third photo you see the Orlov Trotter stallion with another model, it's Arabian mare in foal I sculpted for Mojo for their 2014 line, here you see my version painted in flea beaten grey which is my favourite shade of grey, especially for Arabians :D Shetland ponies mare with foal I decided to try two colour versions for each of these figures. Mares are painted into bay with so called pangaré gene and another mare is supposed to be chestnut tobiano. Foals are palomino and bay tobiano. The Shetland foals are my son's favourite figures. I must say they are quite playable ;) We have spend some time building little scenery with doll house furniture and taking photos. You can see the effects here above ^.
I sculpted also cattle for the Mojo 2015 and I'm considering painting them as well. If you would like to share suggestions for the cattle colours, please write. They are Simmental cow and Texas Longhorn bull. It would be great to see some suggestions for these two :) Oh, and one more photo, where you can see the horses sculpted for 2014 and 2015 all together, let's say it's a family portrait. Comments, questions and advices are welcome. Thank you for looking here :)
