When I had been repainted and playing with customizing for about three years I finally felt confident enough that I wouldn't mess it up to try a resin. I like working with resin a LOT. It is softer and easier to sand/dremel, plus there are soooo many different ones! I currently have over 10 unpainted SM resins waiting to be worked on!

This awsome little guy is the SM resin D's Fortinbras by DeeAnn B. Kjelshus with mucho resculpting. In the scan of his face when he was primed you can see the detail - wrinkles, hair bumbs, eyelids, along with lightening the whole head to make him a FREISAN! I resculpting his mane and tail to have the coolest flowing waves and painted him black with dapples (that you can't see unless you view him right). He's a Friesan! This the first resin I actually redid and painted (the PX On Fire was already painted, remember)! He doesn't show too well though, judges seem to think his feathers make his feet look big.

"Wild Heather" Resin by Summer Prosser painted a silver dapple Icelandic Pony by me. My first Traditional-sized resin, I got her at Jamboree 2000 prepped and primed and ready to paint, but I had to fix her up a little. I sanded some bumps and the sharp neck mucle by her head and the sharp cheekbone below her eye, added wrinkles, nose bumps, and veining. She's sooooo spirited and free, I love her! (Look how windy it is on top of that hill - her mane and tail are going everywhere!)
I painted her a silver dapple, and am going to show her as an Icelandic Pony. I did the best dappling job on her (it took quite a number of tries)! Her chestnuts are really cool because I painted them then stuck my finger on them lightly, leaving a little texture like my fingerprint on them. You can't really see it in the pictures, but her mane is a multiple of colors from white to dark brown at the base, painted to look like real hair, and quite realistic. She has a star, stripe, and snip facial marking. Her teeth are painted, too.
*Update* - She has been showing pretty well, including NAN qualifying for NAN '02!

I'm really happy with how this color came out. I intended to make him a liver chestnut, but I'm happier with this - I have a hard time with chestnuts (so I think), so I'm really exciting about this one. Now I think he looks like the cutest little cutting horse! NAN'd at his first show!
