Check her out in the Marthja.net shop! https://martha.net/product/juniper-custom-safari-ltd-toob-running-pony/
Winter (is coming for your carrots) is a Safari Ltd. TOOB running pony painted into a dark dappled grey (or a black starting to go grey, depending on your point of view). She has brown eyes, grey hooves, a star and snip (hidden mostly by the grey), and a matte finish. Also, a burning desire for CARROTS!
I trimmed up her seams a little, but this pony was meant as a fun shelf piece and not a Live (or Photo) Show competitor.
The Running Pony mold has all the tipping issues and this little gal was no exception. Her base is a bit of wood that has been painted green and then covered with train grass. The grass is attached with wood glue, so it’s pretty sturdy! (I did think about trying for a snowy base, but wasn’t able to find anything that looked right. Alas.)
She’s roughly 2.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches high, so bigger than a Micromini or Mini Whinnie (1:64 scale) and smaller than a Stablemate (1:32)– so maybe 1:50ish?
If you can believe it, Winter has been on the workbench since July of 2017! She was base coated, misplaced, found again, re-prepped, put back into storage… and finally finished off in September 2024! (This is why I’ve vowed not to buy any more bodies until I get all the ones I already have painted.)
