Beethoven - Shire Stallion

I plan to offer Beethoven from 19th January 2024 to  mid/late Feb 2024 -  limited to only 50 copies (plus any personal ones for myself). 

Only 40 venti and 10 oversized curio will be available.

You can PIF or you can place a deposit for time pays (to be paid off by 2nd April at the latest) but must be signed up by the end of Feb - listings will be in my website shop.

He will be venti scale (but larger than my usual as he is a shire) and oversized curio, which is a little bigger than WIA scale, please see images for size comparisons - I am a 1 women team with a full time job and too many animals - and I want to keep wait times fair to all involved - trust me no one is more excited to see these boys in your hands than me!  

But I do request you realise each piece is printed to order I don't hold stock of them, and I have to work in batches to be efficient - but I am always happy to give you an update if you email me - just don't chase me daily please! :P 

Please follow me on instagram to follow 'real-time' production/updates and you can see the behind the scenes of my previous editions too, so you know what to expect should you have any reservations about the 3d prints etc.  

My prints have a very good reputation for being easy to prep and robust (I have drop/throw tests on my instagram highlights), as well as processed fully and correctly - I think this is my 6th release now, I've literally hundreds of models in all scales in collectors hands all around the world, so I feel I have plenty of experience with this now :D

As a very rough guide, my previous editions took between 1 and 2 months from receiving your order to shipping it, assuming no major disruptions.

NOTE:

Nearly all of my prototype images are raw copies with supports snapped off and not clean like your copies WILL be, I pride myself on the minimal prep you should need to do on your copies.  

For production I cut each support with specialist cutters carefully after washing and before curing, then dremel, sand, polish and buff yours - they will just require usual to minimal prep. (This is what takes the time my end)

 Curios/ventis are printed hollow - and this process means drainage holes are needed for printing/rinsing.  I then fill these holes with apoxie sculpt (in the top of the rump usually)  and sand it down(these are not filled in on the prototypes in the images) - all hollow models require an air hole (like your breyers do) so please don't fill this.  It is usually a small hole on the underside of the models belly. 

I take great care in the post processing of my prints  - they are washed, dried and cured fully inside and out with the state of the equipment.

 I've done my best to keep them at a reasonable price point, and time pays are available as long as pif by 2nd April. (this is really important for tax purposes my end)

Please let me know if there is going to be a problem at any point. Communication is key - note payments are non refundable - for full info see my policies page.

Thank you for supporting my art.
