Macro Monday and some photos from my model horse days. Since the largest of these is about 10″ high, most of the photos end up being macro photos.

And last, because it is one of the few Stablemate scale models that I ever painted, a Spinnaker, sculpted by Sarah Minkiewicz Breunig. He is 3.25" tall.

And that may be one of the reasons that I wear reading glasses now. I no longer customize and paint models or resins. There is a possibility that I will go back to sculpting some day. Only time will tell. Well, how much time I have that is.
