BuckThornStables is no longer together! I watched some of her videos and she is giving away most of her schleich to move onto breyers! So very sad! I will miss her videos!



Aw! I watched her since like 2 years ago, if she wants to buy plastic, she can! I love secondchancestables!!!!!! She makes a lot of items, and every tack piece she makes is amaze, she also has a tack shop! Wow! That sounds cool!

Well, they do barn tours, opening schleich packages, tack reviews for schleich, tack tutorials and accessorie and stables too, and deals they got, Q and A videos, How to make your barn more realistic, and so on.

I use clear nail polish for shiny customs, but you need to be careful because it turned my palomino customs tail blue!
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2015 17:36:41
I'm currently uploading a video of all my customs on my YouTube channel, rainbowcowgirl333
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2015 17:47:39
New video has been posted! I'd appreciate it if you guys took a look
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2015 17:55:02
Awesome! I would love to! I just use normal paint gloss. Just don't put it on while the coat is still wet, otherwise it turns into a watercolor disaster!default smiley (lol)
Which Model should I use?

I suggest using a model with a light colored base for your first custom, that way you won't need as muc primer
I can't just paint over one? Then put polish on it?

It depends on its color, and what color you want to paint it.

Dark to dark- maybe prime, but it's not necessary
Dark to light- PRIME IT
Light to light- depends
Light to dark- only if you want to

I have these models, and they're great! I have one Fjord stallion, two shetland ponies, and two horses of unknown breeds. (They were given to me)
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2015 18:32:09
Describe the unknown ones, maybe I can tell you what they are
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2015 18:32:21
I made another quick video, it's on my channel
By Retired breeder, 31st January 2015 18:40:12
I've been collecting for almost 4 years! I've got 72 in total and I repaint, photograph and costumize! I plan on doing an extreme costumizing on the dressage horse (the one that comes with a rider) but I need a few tools first. Almost 2 years ago I created an Instagram user (incredible_schleich_horses) and a YouTube (Melanie Jørgensen) follow/subscribe if you want to default smiley :)
Im also a tack maker and I have to say that I think I'm pretty good at it default smiley ;) I want to open a tack shop but I can't really figure out how to pay and stuff like that.. If you know how please send me a message and I'll love you forever! <3
I think that's it :P

You can sell them on eBay and Amazon, or make an etsy! I would definitely buy some of your tack- I need some and I'm not very good at making saddles
