Mike is still just as busy as ever out in the garage. A couple weeks ago we made the trip to Overland Park, Kansas to pick up his 'baby'. The first ever LandCruiser he built from the ground up, and brought it back here so he can do a transmission swap (manual to automatic). It's proving to be a big challenge and he's had several set backs (can't find transfer case seals, needed a bushing that wasn't in the transfer case anymore, etc) but he's being persistent and getting it done. Once he gets it back together we'll be taking it back to Kansas. Here's a photo of our garage with the two LandCruisers in it. The gray one is the 'baby' and the green one is a work in progress.
And as if I didn't have enough to do, I've decided to try pedigree assignment for my models. I've been e-mailing with a wonderful lady about the whole process (I did it a little bit years ago but don't even have those pedigrees anymore let alone remember what it was all about) who has a ton of horses with pedigrees, including parents for my lovely Stone DAH TWH who is a buckskin frame overo with sabino.
This guy is absolutely stunning in person and I've already had offers from people to buy him. I did my research before I ordered/designed him and although probably extremely rare his color/pattern is possible in real life! He was my first ever DAH and although I prefer models of real horses, I do have a few more, a chestnut frame overo western pony, and on order I have an Arabian yearling in black with four socks and a blaze. I also have a grulla and red dun weanling and a grulla ISH on hold with someone. I couldn't pass them up as they were exactly what I wanted - solid with no markings! Now if I could just find a red dun ISH to go with the weanling....
Oh, and we're trying to potty train Calleigh. She is to the point that she hates being 'stinky' but is still telling us AFTER she does her business. One of these days she'll get it!
