Big Ben Test Run | Retired

Exclusively for Breyer Collector Club members! Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture. Or they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway.  Not all test run models are used, and they may vary over time as different painting techniques are developed and tested. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece.

Big Ben (mold #483), sculpted by Kathleen Moody, is a favorite of many Breyer fans who grew up in the 1990s and 2000s. This fellow is a Big Ben lover’s dream come true! A fun experiment from the Breyer Paint Department, this model has a rosy-grey base color with sabino markings applied in a 90s-esque “splatter” style. He also features hand-painted bi-eyes and horseshoes, plus a high gloss finish.

This striking model is in beautiful condition overall, with no major flaws apparent. See gallery for details. This piece of Breyer history is priced at $1500.00 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
