Restoring Farfrae Jubilee

Jubilee is the other foal from the Cheeky auction and, like the others from that lot, has been heavily restored. When she arrived, she didn't have a face, just a chewed lump on the end of her neck. She doesn't look that bad in her pictures, but trust me, it was bad. I think her head might have turned out a bit longer than usual for this mold, but it is very similar to the reference picture I was using of another vintage Yearling.

Restoring Blue Street Comus

Comus is from the same auction as Cheeky and has been heavily restored, too. The colour is almost identical to the original paint, but I airbrushed the legs instead of hand painting them and the mane and tail were originally unpainted.

Restoring Farfrae Cheeky

While fooling around on eBay, I came across a lot of vintage models - there were three adults (Jumping Horse, Pony Hunter, Pony Mare), two foals (Camel Foal & Yearling), and three riders.

The pictures were a little frightening and the auction description was anything but encouraging. But...I had fallen in love with the pinto pony's cute little face and decided to keep an eye on the bidding. I then forgot about the whole thing until my phone reminded me shortly before the end of the auction.
