I'm currently checking my mail a couple of times a week. So, if you send me an email, rest assured that I *will* answer it, just not necessarily right away :)
TERMS
I accept persoonal checks (held until they are clear), money orders and PayPal (credit OK!), though I do prefer checks and money orders over PayPal due to the PayPal fees. Also, I may be able to accept short term time payments for multiple purchases -- please inquire.I'm also accepting trades -- see my trade list at the bottom of this page. My interests in collection has really changed over the years to resins and chinas, though, so won't do trades for most OFs.
Email holds are be accepted, but if payment is not received within 7 calendar days, model will again be made available on the saleslist. Postage is included in the price of the model, except the bodies, as explained below.
All models are in excellent condition except where noted. However, let me know, and I'll be happy to describe their condition for you in detail, if there isn't a complete description with the model below.
The PPD prices include Parcel Post shipping -- I am no longer shipping Priority Mail by default. If you want your model sent Priority, please let me know, and I'll adjust the price accordingly; in general, I figured $4 shipping when figuring out the prices. I'm sorry to have to do this, but because the PO has changed the way that they figure Priority postage, I end up paying a lot more than I anticipated when originally figuring the PPD prices.

Resins
LJJ Baja $90 PPDBodies
This cutie was sculted by Laurie Jo Jensen in 1998 or so. This is the mare version with a sculpted mane and tail (the stallion version came hair prepped). She lost half an ear along the way, but it has since been repaired, and the gal that did it did a wonderful job.
I've tried to describe them as accurately as possible in terms of what has been done, or what needs to be done (ie, paint needs stripping); however, the condition is not guaranteed beyond these descriptions, as they are being sold as bodies.
* Unless otherwise stated, they'll need full prepping in addition to whatever's mentioned in the descriptions.
* If I say a piece is "missing", then it's gone and I don't have it.
Postage for bodies will depend on what's purchased and how you want it shipped... let me know what you want, what your zip code is, and whether you prefer priority or standard shipping and I will send you a quote (the quote will be based on the actual weight of the model(s) and distance.
Insurance is NOT included -- please let me know and I will figure the insurance fee for you.
Traditionals
Classics:Morganglanz $10
Got all his parts still attached, though there is a crack in the base of his tail (the tail is still fairly firmly attached). He doesn't stand too well (one of his front legs is warped a bit), and someone put a glossy finish on one side -- nothing that a date with a hair dryer and some sand paper won't fix! ;).
Western Prancer
About half of the left ear is missing; needs to be stripped $10
Midnight Sun
Tail is missing; head has been turned a bit to the right and his right cheek will need to be built up; raised foreleg has been tweaked a bit at the knee so that the knee and lower leg are wrinked in places and need to be filled or resculpted. Seams partially sanded on this guy, and he's been partially bleached (I'd estimate around 75% of his OF paint is gone); also his ears have been carved. He's got small two holes in his belly (for draining when I bleached him). $10
Foundation Stallion
Needs stripping; missing left rear leg below the hock. $10
Breyer 5-Gaiter
Have two; both are whole & unprepped, though I noticed tonight that one of them has a dent in the front of one ear (like something was pressed into the plastic before it was hardened). $12 each
Rough coat stock horse foal
Right rear leg is broken; I have the piece, but it's smaller than it should be (someone told me when I was a kid that I could melt the plastic back together... well, it didn't work ;) $5
Classic Arabian Mare: Needs stripping -- she's been painted with some kind of shiney paint, but it seems to be chipping in a couple of places so might not be too bad to get rid of. Missing left rear leg below the hock. $4 (SPECIAL OFFER! free with the purchase of any similar or larger sized model -- her weight will be included in the cost of shipping).Little Bit:Black Stallion from Black Stallion Returns set: Has already had some work done to him as far as seems and general sanding (I was trying to get rid of some of the roughness). Also has a partial light coat of red oxide primer. $7
Andalusian Stallion: This guy is actually in very good shape; he's got some rubs and slight yellowing, but otherwise whole. $8
Johar from Black Stallion Returns set: This girl is in great shape -- slightly yellowed and minor rubs (though I wouldn't classify her as a shelf piece). $8
Keen: Fully prepped; resculpted tail and has a new braided mane. Needs to be stripped -- it's an airbrushed acryllic paint job (might not even be sealed, but I am not sure) so it shouldn't be too bad to removed. $7
Hartland Arabian Stallion: This guy used to be standing square; he's been repositioned to a nice jaulty little trot (he'll need a peg or a base when he's completed), and has a rescuplted mane & tail. He's got some resculpting done to his feet/legs/chest/face, but definitely needs more. Carved ears; needs to be partially stripped $5
Chestnut QH: Have two; both are in very good condition (just minor rubs) $5
Bay ASB: Good condition; minor rubs. $5
Tack
SM Saddle set
(Please excuse the poor job I did tacking up the model; I'm no good with ittybitty tack!)
Very nice little saddle set by unknown tack maker(s) (the saddle and bridle may have been made by different people). The set includes the saddle, girth, bridle and natural log trail jump (not shown). I will also include the saddle pad, which I made by cutting the same out of a paper towel, and works well as a quilted saddle pad (and extremely easy -- and cheap -- to replace ;)
The bridle needs to have a buckle added to the crown, or you can use stickywax (which is what I did here -- it looks fine, IMO).
The saddle will fit a wide range of SM scale models, but the bridle would be best on a smaller headed model, like the one shown in the pictures. This model is NOT included; however, for $3 more, I will include a regular run Chestnut Swaps body (the model has a couple of rubs and is not LSQ).
$30 PPD (shipped in a padded envelope)
$37 PPD (with SM Swaps; shipped in a small box)
Please add $1.10 for insurance, if desired.
Please keep checking back, as I may add more models soon!
