Here's one from way back to the PD (Pre-Digital) days. I think I did this one in the mid-90's and it was quickly sold to a fella out in California. Matter of fact...we drove it out to him as I had just recently shipped a large scene to another collector out there and it arrived almost destroyed by UPS. I had even paid to have it professionally packed by Postnet. Some packing!! After that experience I developed my own packing system and have never again experienced any problems.
I really enjoyed building the windmill, complete with a scale model of the fan and vane mechanism. Judy, while being a little hesitant, came down to model for the figure. She also made the barbed wire for the fence. I painted the interior surface of the stock tank a very dark greenish blue and then poured in a layer of clear acrylic resin for a great effect. A couple of chickens and socks finished things up. The title of the piece comes from the conversation the two horses are having.
It's really fun seeing some old friends after a long absence. In the next post I'll show you a few more.
Comments welcome!
