Schleich!

I should try that to! I use acrylic paint but it comes out globby...

oh cool. I have duplicates or some so maybe i could try that

Wow! Duplicates! Cool!

Water it down. I did that on a breyer knock off custom I did and it works great. Not blotchy at all. He's actually money faves. (I got the idea from honeyheartsC. )

Honeyhearts is awesome. I would've subscribed to her like last spring when I found her... If I had a YouTube

Yeah I use a sharpie pen to go around the inside of my one horses hooves so that the silver isn't inside the hoof (been doing that for a while) but it comes off. I wouldn't recommend using sharpie on a large area- it's not meant for smooth plastics. Eyes are good though, and inside of black nostrils.

If acrylics don't work out, yes, try watering them down. And you'll want to seal them so they don't chip. I however mainly do mod podge on top largely because I hate the feel of plain acrylics on something I'll be touching a lot.

I also have leftover paint from a paint your own breyer set I got. They turned out wonderfully, smooth (ish) and not so acrylic-y. I don't know if it's because they were primed, or because the paint was good, but I want to try it. I did another few coats of regular paint on the one because he was painted horribly, and now he feels normally painted....

ya i get one and then my friends buy me the same one so i have two of the same horse

Cool! I just wathed the parody song honey hearts made, so funny!

I think this custom is very pretty. The others are nice, too.

Gorgeous! How do they do the different color affect that is lighter and then darker?
