I love the Breyer vintage molds, and recently have been interested in collecting variations, especially on their vintage Appaloosa paint jobs. So, as you might imagine, when I saw this girl for sale at Great Lakes Congress, I did a double take and then made a beeline to where she was displayed on Liz Cory's sales table.
Those spots are huge!!
Liz came over and offered her to me for a price that I felt was quite reasonable (even generous), so I bought her then and there.
I already had this piece in glossy (my new one is matte) but I could not remember if the spots on it were normal sized or tiny (I knew that they were not ginormous like these), so I pulled her out when I arrived home from the show.
She is a lovely tiny spot version!
What a comparison - just look at them together!
The collector in me is all over these two. I just keep looking at them, comparing them, and practically jumping for joy as I sit here at my desk typing.
Model horsedom has many different facets to it. Some people buy models for showing, others use them to showcase their creative sides and paint, sculpt, and make tack. Then there are collectors like me who get giddy over something like big spots.
Those collectors like me know exactly what I mean!
