Toronto Plastic Ponies Club April Meet!

Hello everybody!
I know that I have been MIA for a while and haven't posted anything for a very long time now... But, I replaced in the model horse hobby, especially since for my birthday, my boyfriend bought me a ticket to the Toronto Live Show that's on April 30th! Since, there was a Toronto Plastic Ponies Club meeting that was talking about the live show and a swap meet, I decided to attend. It was great! I really enjoyed myself and met a ton of lovely people!

This was the very first meeting that I have attended of this kind and boy, I ended up buying a lot!

I am going to list off the models that I bought, which is a total of 8, by my chronological buying order:

1) Peter Stone "Golden" Arabian (OF) in a glossy finish (2003)

2) Breyer Valegro and American Pharoah stablemates

3) Breyer Andalusian and Mustang stablemates

4) Breyer JP Penney Parade of Breeds V (2008)

5) Breyer Blue Suede Shoes (2006)

6) Breyer Hanoverian stablemate in bay (2012-2015?) came for free with Blue Suede Shoes!

I have basically gotten every stablemate that I had on my wishlist and Blue Suede Shoes, who was on my wanted list for a very long time, and another Peter Stone Arabian!

Although, I have made a rule for myself that I will buy other Peter Stone molds, this one was too good to pass up! He's a beautiful chestnut colour and I've wanted a chestnut in my Traditional collection for a while. Now, I have both a Blue Roan and a Chestnut!

This has been the largest model horse haul I have ever had, and I feel a little overwhelmed!

Now, onto the preparation for the live show! I'll have reviews for each of the models that I have got in the next posts (each horse gets its own post).

Thanks for reading!

DIY Diorama: Simple Forest (trees & bushes)

Hello everybody!

Today is a model horse-y post/video. A few weeks ago May requested a DIY of my diorama

This diorama

Ta-da!

So, I decided to make a video since I find it soooooo much easier to show it with a video instead of pictures, hope you enjoy!

Please subscribe! <3

Love,

Freezing

Hello everybody!
The weather here has been painfully cold, ~~I'm not really used to this kind of cold~~, and it started snowing when my boyfriend left for university and the cold came with it.
I was going to do some winter photography (outside) but it's so cold and I got swamped with projects, tests and exam prep.

My flat-screen TV also broke and doesn't work anymore. What a great start to this new year, huh?

But these are the photos that I took during the holiday break.

That's all for this post!

SM Scale Accessories Haul

Hello everyone!

I hope you, all, are having fabulous holidays!

I decided to pay the Dollarstore a visit and I am sure glad that I did!

They had a section for Christmas decorations and in that section was also diorama Christmas Village (?) accessories. The shelves for that section were almost empty.

Now, I wish I went to that store sooner!

But, I did not leave empty handed!

^ I bought this fence with a little tree and mail box and Streetlight set of 2 first.

They had a few different streetlights but I liked the design of this one the best.

They also had 2 different fence designs. I didn't know which one to pick, so I picked the "bigger" one because I thought the other was a little too small for the Stablemate scale.

When I got home... It turned out that the fence was actually a little big for the scale...

As you can see, it's a little too big!

Then, I decided to go back to the store and buy the smaller fence and this little statuette set!

The other statuette set that I wanted to buy as well was gone... I felt a little sad that I was late by an an hour or two.

The smaller fence worked better. So, now I am not completely sure with what I should do with the bigger fence...

Then, I decided to fix the streetlights' wreaths...

Ta-da! They are greener and more red and glittery now! I used glittery red nail polish for the bow and the little red berries.

Turn it on and it lights up!

The actual diorama photography will come in the next post!
Stay tuned,
~Marina

Christmas Horses Trottin' In!

This is what I got for Christmas that is horse related:

- Breyer OF SM ShowStoppers Set
- Breyer OF SM Mystery Foal Family
- Schleich OF Paint Stallion

Now from the last post, I asked to spot the difference in this SM Barn...
The difference is... *drum roll please* the HORSES! Of course!

This beautiful roan mare, on my favourite mold too!

And another beautiful grey mare, on a mold that I didn't have before!

A cute little chestnut running filly (from the Mystery Foal Family Set),

An adorable little bay scratching colt,

A cuteling buckskin paint trotting colt!

I know, I know... I was supposed to photograph him in a winter scenery as well, but I kinda got annoyed with the editing... So, I'm just using my IMEHA picture for him!

An adorbling roan scrambling colt!
