So I have barely done anything model related for the last month. And as we will be moving in the beginning of December we will be quite busy packing stuff up, sorting stuff that we won't bring with us and buying new furniture. That means that I might not be able to do much model related stuff over the next few months (but I hope to make up for it after the move as we will have a designated craft room and a designated room for horse shelves and collector's stuff! I have never, ever, had that before! So excited!) I do however hope to have time for a couple of posts before the move as I entered ICCE this year! But more on that and onto the real reason for this post!
I kind of shouldn't by unpainted resins at the moment. My shelves are kind of full of unpainted beauties begging for paint. I really don't need to add to that.
But sometimes you get a chance to buy something you have wanted for a long, long time and never thought that you would actually own. I recently found that. Back in August a picture was published on the Brigitte Eberl Appreciation Force facebook page. It was a picture of a whole lot of resins standing on a floor. It was announced that there were Hermiones in the picture and that she was available again.
For those of you who might not be that familiar with Brigitte's sculptures, Hermione is an older sculpt by Eberl, of a Fjord mare. I am quite sure that there were very few of her in existence and I have only seen a handful during my 16 years in the hobby. Therefore I was quite sure that my shelves would never be graced by this beautiful sculpture, who I think is one of the best Fjord sculpts out there.
I emailed Brigitte the same moment I saw what sculpt it was and I read it was available. And a few days ago she arrived. She is not as rough as I thought she would be and I am so, SO happy to be able to add her to my collection, even though I really don't need anymore unpainted resins.
I need NaMoPaiMo to kick me in the butt and get at least one of these beauties painted, but who to chose?!
