Tadpole

I've been wanting a Tadpole ever since I found out he would be made. I participated in all three of the lotteries for him (which I find is a very fair way to make the sales considering time zones and such) but I was never lucky enough to be drawn to buy one.

As it happens I was on MHSP on my break at work and saw a newly posted ad for a Tadpole for sale. I typed up an email and sent it as fast as I could, hoping that no one would've beat me to it.

No one did beat me to it so Tadpole was mine. The seller was super nice and it was a perfect transaction. I picked him up before work on Friday and as I had to work late I couldn't open him up until late in the night. I was supposed to go to bed when I got home but I was just too excited to not open him!

I just love his packaging! It's so beautiful! And since green is my favourite colour I am bit extra excited!

And the model itself is also SO BEAUTIFUL! He is super detailed and absolutely lovely.

I can't wait for him to get some clothes and enter the showring! I just don't know what colour I want him in! And who to paint him! So many hard decisions!

I can't believe April is here already! March passed by in a big haze for me and I can only hope April will be a better month for me.

Anyway, April means National Model Tack Month! Last year I made a Western Saddle set from Rio Rondo's awesome kit and this year I wanted to make something for my NaMoPaiMo model.

Since he is an akhal-teke it felt only fair to make him an akhal-teke tack set. I aim to make a saddle, bridle, breastcollar and neck collars with lots of small decorations! This is quite the ambitious project for me as I've only made very few tack items before and considering the fact that I am not the most patient person!

I can't wait for my package from Rio Rondo to arrive and to get started!
