What is model horses hobby?
Hello everyone!
Today I'd like to
write about the model horses hobby, which is also called "plastic ponies
hobby".What is it about?
Well... many people seems to like plastic animal figurines, but they treat them
as a toys. Whitch is nothing weid, beacuse the target of those figurines are
kids, who loves to play with them.
The thing is that the many poeple stop treating those toys as a just plastic
figurines, they treat them as a models.
In this post I’m not gonna describe each of those brands, I just want to present
you what model horses is in general. The describtion of every brand will be in
separately post.
1. The most popular brands:
- Breyer
- Schleich
- Peter Stone
- Papo
- Bullyland
-WIA
-Safari LTD
And there is also something what is called artist resin, which are model horses
sales directly from the artist who made them of resin.
2. The most popular scales:
a) Traditional: 1:9 scale (adult models are
approximately 11″ long × 9″ high) it is the most popular scale in the hobby
b) Classic: 1:12 scale (adult models are approximately 9″ long × 6″ high) are use very often in dioramas with dollhouses
c) Ponies/Dapples/Pony Gals: 1:12 scale (adult models are approximately 9″ long × 6″ high) now are retired, and it is not easy to find them, but is is possible to buoy models in this scale for example on ebay
d) Paddock Pal/Little Bits: 1:24 scale (about 6″ long x 5″ high) another one of the most popular scales, very popular with kids, most of the Schleich figurines in in this scale
