In this video I go over the process of sculpting a neck on your Breyer drastic custom. 
You will start with a headless model & reconstruct the new neck using the following tools:
  • Wire
  • Super Glue / Baking Soda
  • Tin Foil

Repositioning the neck is a fun & easy way to modify some your favourite Breyer models into one of a kind pieces.

How to Add Veins - Model Horse Customizing Tutorial

10/16/2019

0 Comments

 
In this video I use Pebeo Cerne Relief for adding veins to the face, belly, body & creating chestnuts. This is a rubbery - like compound that is applied to the model through the needle point tip. Once sealed in primer it is firm enough for finished veining. I complete this step once the model is fully sculpted & prepped.
