WIA models

 So recently I ordered some WIA models from MPV 

Quite a few actually 🫣

And they arrived in Scotland pretty quickly and were eventually out for delivery except the driver never found my house, took them 3 attempts until they eventually just put it in the post office, and now I need to pick them up. 

I'm very excited as I've been a fan if WIA for ages and have never even held one in my hands 

Tomorrow is the day I get them! Any guesses on which ones I got?

Arabian Tack

I admire how some people can make such magnificent and eye-catching sets, I have made a couple myself but am only proud of the one I finished making today. Took me a couple of days to make but was so worth it!  I also love Arabian model horses. There is so much elegance and facial and muscular structure to capture and some sculptors do that perfectly! The retired schleich Arabians do that very well (the grazing foal and 2007 grey mare) and then there is of course all collectA Arabians and both of the WIA Arabians sculpted by Horraw studios (I believe that's the name ) which I'm so excited to be getting! As for real life Arabians it is going down hill fast. The selective breeding is cruel and honestly isn't as good looking as the breeders think, and to see brands, schleich specifically, feed into that with the more unna...
