NICE!...I have been wanting to do this but haven't taken the time

That's so cool. I'm still working on how to paint a Breyer to look realistic. I've been using Blue Box knockoffs. Do you leave a hole in the nostril for air circulation?

No, I close those up and then redrill a air hole under the head and between the legs.  Less noticeable in those places.

Not much of an update but he got drilled today!

... Air circulation?

... Air circulation?

Breyers are hollow like ponies and made of cellulose acetate which is derived from an organic compound. They suffer breakdown problems like ponies do. Some think a small hole in the plastic keeps moisture from building up in them and keeps them from breaking down faster. Breyers typically have a small hole in a nostril.

This. I've also seen models that bloat and warp without that hole. so sad.

Thank you.  It is a at time rewarding process and at others frustrating beyond belief.

Actaully for the most part they are much hardier then ponies, yes there are certain ones who end up as bloaties or shrinkies but way less issues then ponies.

You do need air holes especially with customs since you are putting on materials that do not "breath" at the same rate.
