Wilga - new 1:12 Hucul pony mare

Anna: I received my first two copies a few days ago, and I for one have been pleased with their quality. Both casts were clean for raw copies; had zero air bubbles; some flashing that's removable even with fingers; and about three areas of seam which require filling rather than just sanding. Most of my resin experience in the hobby is with seconds and raw casts, and in comparison to most such castings I've worked upon, the Wilga casts are well within normal, and actually good for raw.

Anna of Horse and Bird has updated Wilga's sales page (http://www.horseandbird.com/gallery-wilga.html) with pictures of a typical raw casting. If you are unhappy with a copy you have purchased, please write to Anna at Horse and Bird; I'm sure the matter can be settled to both parties' satisfaction. At the moment we do not sell prepped castings; this is a work for each customer to undertake themselves, or to hire a prepper to do. There are many good ones in the hobby.

Lastly, a couple of fun shots of my own unprepped Wilga that just arrived here.

I'm afraid I cannot quite tell which Anna's copy you are referring to. The forum poster Anna asked about the contentment of other copyholders with the casting quality; I replied as one such copyholder. I'm glad to hear the poster already found a conducive means of settling her question.

Ooh, looking wonderful, this one! Thank you for sharing it here. Pinto gives her a whole new look in my eyes.

Here are a few pictures of the 1st ever painted copy that got out into the world (some time ago already) - painted a glowing bay dun by Aleksander Freda of Dark Pegasus Studios. As the last picture with a Dos Brio resin (also painted by Aleksander) shows, Wilga works nicely in 1:9 scale too. (More pics here: https://www.facebook.com/DarkPegasusStudio ). I quite hope to have more pictures of painted Wilgas soon!

[EDIT: Hah, I only now noticed I had shared a text link to these pics before, but eh - no harm done I guess! )

Thank you! Very glad to hear you like her - means a lot, particularly coming from you!
