Liveshow report Part 2: Workmanship

In this years workmanship show the classes were divided (as far as it was possible) into medium used. I thought that was an interesting and a bit more even distribution of models. The first part of the workmanship shows was the Simple plastic division. I showed 3 models in the oil class, Madonna (Breyer Sm. G2 ASB rep. C. Johansson), Since You Don't Love Me (Breyer Sm. G2 ASB rep. A. Gustafsson) and Bellamie (Breyer Sm. G2 Scrambling Foal rep. A. Gustafsson) and they got 7th, 8th and 9th in the class.

My two Totilas repaints did better in their class with Firenze (Breyer Tr. Totilas rep. D. Brown) taking first and Lexus (Breyer Tr. Totilas rep. J. Ward) taking second place.

Best in Show (and novice Best in Show) in workmanship simple plastic went to Haddock, the beautiful Totilas who also got Champion Warmblood Novice in the open show. The reserve title went to a really nice Arabian (who was also the champion Arabian novice in the open show).

Next up was medium plastic and I showed one model in the oil class, Ice Baby Ice (Breyer Sm. G2 TB rr C. Johansson) who got first. I also showed 3 models in the pastels class, all painted by me. Mirabelle (Breyer Sm. G1 Swaps rr T. Melin), Bailando (Breyer Sm. G2 Andalusian rr T. Melin) and Neptune (Breyer Sm. G2 WB rr T. Melin) got second, fourth and sixth in the class.

Best in Show (and Best in Show novice) went to a really well painted few spot Appaloosa with a beautiful sabino as reserve.

In the drastic plastic I only had one model to show and that was Ahvaz Aliyah (Breyer Cl. Swaps rrh S. Nordström) who did great by winning her class. The Best in Show title went to a Fjord I really like (I might be a bit partial to Fjords but still) with a really cool Valegro custom as reserve.

When the plastic divisions were over, we went on to other materials (which mostly meant resins). In the simple other division I showed some of my favourite models and they did quite well.

Nahele (RC El Embosco rep. J. Hall) got first in the oils class. Sahale J (RC El Embosco rep. E. Gonzales), Don't Call Me Nymphadora (RC Moxie rep. A. Brock), Cheyenne (RC Sierra rep. L. Morris) and Lost All Hope (RC Kitty Didit rep. L. Lawrynovicz) showed in the mixed/other class and they got second, third, fifth and sixth place.

The little grey Welsh who was crowned Best in Show in the open show, once again took the title of Best in Show, with another familiar face in the form of the foal Champion from the open show, as reserve.

I had no horses in the Drastic other show but that gave me some time to take a closer look on the beautiful entrants of the show. The Best in Show was an incredibly detailed and VERY realistic depiction of an old, beloved pony. I really liked the adorable little face! The reserve was almost as impressive with a beautiful colouring, details and hairing and a worthy reserve.

The colour show was put in with workmanship this year and I think it worked out okay. This year was creme de la creme and palominos, buckskins and double dilutes were all welcome. I don't have a whole lot of those colours in my collection but I brought one palomino and one buckskin to show. They were quite big classes and I am happy that my models did as good as they did with my palomino, Gold Rush (Copperfox Sovereign OF) taking third in the palomino class, and Jax (AA Welsh Sec C rep. T. Melin) taking fifth in the buckskin class.

In the end a lovely buckskin got Best in Show (and Best in Show Novice) and a really sweet palomino got reserve.
