GAHH you found my heart!! I'm not always big in diluted color horses unless cremello or white but greys are certainly eye catching sometimes and flea bitten be it liver colored sports or grey is one of my favorites-I know a horse named silver whose exactly that and love his sports!! All "million" of them XD Never ridden him though X' \
Lovely work!

Fleabitten Greys are so much fun to work with because each has such a very specific shading to them its hard to get them just right. I've only ridden one fleabitten grey and her name was Lacey, moody pon. XD
Thanks so much!!!

LOL! I bet, but it doesn't look all that taxing for its only their spots your making or they may have undertone contrasts in their hair.-I think I saw a simple technique as to how to add the "freckles" in water coloring sand, by flickering the ends of a paint brush on the paper. I'm sure the same can be done on model horses when customizing them! Not that I've ever try to attempt this or anything but I need to get back into trying to pastel colors on unpainted breyers. I did it years ago and LOVE it. Its been forever though.
So, hey, have you ever tried pastel breyers?

Yes I have, and fleabites are done in a multitude of ways. I took the easy way and made my own shade of red brown, watered it down and used a toothbrush to flick on the speckles ^_^" But it was most successful
If you're looking to get back into customizing breyers, try looking for body lots on ebay. They are sometimes rather difficult to prep but are cheaper than buying stripped or unpainted breyers.
Completely done in pastels, I have not but I use an acrylic base coat and then pastel on the shading and vary the way the horse looks before adding any white markings. I haven't gotten to try airbrushing yet but my techniques seem to still work for the most part :3

A flick of speckles sounds good to me *.* LOL! Sounds like a great project that worked out with tooth brush (I was thinking more on the lines of tooth brushes vs. paint brush XD
Oh I've only attempted to paint unpainted plastic horses thaw are from a painting kit.
I'll love to try pastels again eventually but I'm more jumping into sculpting currently
But yeah a lot of artist are using airbrush and even oil painting as well as acrylics as you've mentioned in your paint work

Yeah, I have a bunch of 'bodies' right now... I think I have like... 10+ large, 15ish medium, 2 smoll and 3 mini mini ones and they all have the factory paint on them but as long as they're prepped correctly they're just like the completely unpainted ones to do.
Not too many people customize horses in the way that i do which I found rather fastinating, everyone always goes for complete pastels, all airbrush with acrylic only for the white but most of my base coats are in acrylic and shading is done with pastels. So its just a preference tecnique I suppose.
