Simple Coats for Colorful Breeds - Video Tutorial
Horses come in a variety of colors, all of which are fun to paint! This video tutorial was created by our friend Toya of MyFroggyStuff with Breyer's Colorful Breeds Paint & Play craft kit in mind, but these ideas and techniques can be applied to any Breyer model you wish to customize.
In this tutorial, join Toya as she shows you how to paint a black, dapple grey, palomino, and bay horse using simple but effective techniques that will give your custom models some extra pizzazz.
In addition to painting your models, Toya also "takes this project a step further" by repurposing a Stablemates model into a statue for a 1:6 scale equestrian-themed gate!
