Today is my day off. And of course I'm actually kind of motivated to do stuff today! So I prepped my Mulan resin horse, and am working on base coating him today. I have to wonder why he's named Mulan, as my understanding was that's a girl's name, and he's very definitely a boy horse. I spent a good half an hour cleaning seam lines off of his stallion bits, so I'm very sure of this. Casting him must have been a lot of fun, because he has something like a dozen different seam lines. The mold must be made of an awful lot of pieces.

I hope to get all the base coat on today, and then maybe next week I can start in with the detail work.

I can't WAIT to see him all done up. :)

Maybe they should have called him by the possessive... "Mulan's resin horse." But then I would wonder why she rode a resin horse into battle... that could be painful, and horribly impractical. 0_o

That doesn't work though, he's a friesian. As far as I know they were used solely in Europe, never in China.

Well, pah! They just ruined my joke completely then. *LOL*
