A Horse for Rex

I'm home again, after another long weekend away.  Before we left it occurred to me that with Rex looking so realistic, he needed a different horse - a brown one. I didn't feel like painting one of my white ones, so took a look at the Our Generation stuff online, and saw they had a great dark brown horse with black hair. I was hoping that one of the Mastermind Toy stores nearby would have one, but didn't have time to go check them out so let "the fingers do the walking" (remember that jingle?) and phoned them up instead. No luck!  So we looked up every Mastermind store in southern Ontario along the 401 corridor, since we'd be heading out that way Friday. And Mastermind in Guelph had one!  So we stopped by to pick him up on our way to visit our daughter. Turns out all the Our Generation stuff comes with price tags already on it directly from head office, and the price tag was $10 lower than what the cash register scanned him in at, so they had to give him to us at the lower price. Plus all the OG stuff was on 20% off sale. Nice!!

​Here's the new brown horse - the Our generation 'Buckskin' Horse....

I'm going to touch him up and give him a bit of shading with some paint, so he doesn't look quite so 'plastic', and he's going to need a new bridle (turquoise plastic just won't do) and he needs some work on his saddle. The shape is fine, but part of the 'saddle blanket' is molded on and has been painted peach and pale turquoise. Which totally won't do.

So this coming week I have to address the horses for Rex and Bianca, touch them up, shade their saddles, make leather bridles, and saddlebags, and do the finishing touches on the last bits of costuming. There's four cloaks to stain, and a tricorn hat to make. So I'm going to be busy!
