I have selected the themes (I'm combining!) and inspiration finally struck after trying to find decent reference material on da Google. *wanders off in search of a bait)

If anyone needs refs, give me a shout I have tons of real antique carousel photos.

I am stoked about my partners list - now to find a body and plan it all out.

I usually work right on the animal, with refers handy.

Alright, bait mostly prepped between working on other ponies; all she needs is some, ah, "cosmetic adjustment" and I start sculpting prep.

I do the same most of the time, but this time I have a pretty complex idea so it will need a bit of thought

.

Also, this is gonna be my first frankenpony, yay!

I wont get to start till my pole kit arrives. No point even finding a bait till then. But I can brainstorm....

You filled up freaking fast!

I'll have to join next time. Although I can still look at all the gorgeous things that come out of this~~

Saja, where did you order the pole?
Glaserceramics charge A LOT for international shipping.

Anyone selling poles???

I was thinking about this too. I didn't get in the swap which is fine (all full before I could even make a form!) but I was thinking I'd make my own anyway, in my own time. Anyway... I thought, why not make a custom pole too? Out of like, a spray painted and sculpted pencil, or chopstick or something. Gotta be cheaper than buying one? Plus, it's also be customisable, which is awesome!

Jus' a suggestion <3

For smaller scale Breyer Carousel horse I actually us a very small knitting needle that is brass colored. I am sure you could find the right size (and they come in pairs) knitting needle.

Not all poles used on all carousel machines where spiral cut, many machines had plan brass poles as they where cheaper even back then to buy.

I think I found my bait, but I need to check the list of themes to make sure the color of the body is okay. I'd rather not do a repaint!
