Photo stack/story: Rämä and Windy 1

I didn't know where to categorize this. It's not a real story, but includes also more than just generally photos of the set from every angle.

Rämä the rat boy with Windy (Breyer trad. Babyflo). Some pics show also Cerys the green rat lady, being angry because Rämä almost rode over her.


The tack used with this is less good. Or, it's the materials I used, made it quickly just because I can make bridles. I use materials what I have... That bit is weak and dark because I lack(ed) better, stronger wire what I should use for them. Nocando. Martingal doesn't fit, blergh. No word about the pad that's used as a saddle. I tried to put the bit to look like it's pulled by the rider; it's important to me that the bit is placed and positioned well, I see too much uncaringly placed model horse bits. Really! Also played some moment to keep the scarf to stay in position, so it could look like... well, waving?










That bit annoys me.












Then comes the part where is also Cerys, and Rämä almost rides over her. She's angry, and doesn't care if a horse is running against her. Maybe she tries to catch the reins to end the circus?












I can't resist uploading a pic I took while un-building the stack. Humor.


Blogger doesn't like that I upload so much pics at same time... But what else could I do?

Photo stack: Juoru rides Vissy

Grrrr, imagination and the titles don't meet. But this is called as a photo stack instead of story, because I don't know a story for this. It's again just one moment I captured in many photos. These also aged fastly, because the bridle seen there are already retouched... And they were made just before these pics.


A black cat boy on Vissy (Cortes "C"). I left Asko visible in one photo as I somewhat think he kept a riding lesson for Juoru. If that explains the over-long reins...? I've made shorter reins afterwards.







That bridle has at least two or three different types of leather in it. The reins aren't from the same set but from some older. I also can say I stopped using blue-tack for attaching bits after finding glue that dries to be sticky enough to stay in place (and it doesn't harm the plastic, like I think blue-tack can do if kept on too long).

Those straps just look too clumsy now when I have improved quickly a lot in making bridles... Only the noseband is nice as it is OK to be wider.











This also could be an update for the first 'riding lesson' photo story. If this new one just could be a story...

Artistic info:
Here's pics of those bridles after two retouches. First, I added tongue buckles and a flash noseband, also changed shorter headpiece strap, and knotted the browband (it was ridiculously long). The flashie was made for another bridles, so it's metal pieces are 'silver'. I didn't care because the bridle is not the best I have made. At the second retouch I got the flash noseband off and straightened the bit mouthpieces and added glue to them, so they stick without help.



After the second retouch (flash noseband off). Ignore the crazy rider, hehe.

That browband doesn't really fit well there, after I added the knot...

I also injured a finger while making tack, so, using it felt creepy when I wrote the upper part and oldest photos. (Now when I publish this, the finger is fine.)
