Why just that horse? Kave edition!

So, Afuze wrote a great post about choosing what models to get. And I promised to her to write my own. So here we go!

Sign Of Hope
I don't quite know what made me fall in love with Kodi. But I did. At the time I could not get it, I did not have the money for models. So I had it's picture open on my phone at all times! I was sure, that it would sell out before I could have the money to get it. But then my life turned around, and I decided to treat myself to make me feel better. Also my mother gifted me some of her prize. I thought getting this model could be a sign of hope, sign of things getting better. So I bought her, and I am completely in love. One of the best buys I've made. Also, she was not named immediately. I felt she was special and needed a special name. And then I was listening to Scorpions' new song Sing Of Hope and it clicked. Sign Of Hope really tells what this model was and is for me. At bad times I now look at her, and I think that things will get better.

Silence In The Age Of Apes
 This one is a model that when I first saw her I was sure I would never get. Or to be truthful it was the first ten times... I did not like it's colour added to the mold lady phase at first. Then things just turned around one day. And I NEEDED her. Getting her wasn't that simple either. I wanted a foal model really much, and that model was the priority for me. So I wanted to find a good mother to the foal. As I think genetics are important with horse colours I talked with Afuze for hours about what mare to get. We had to dig deep into genetics and make sure this mare could be the mother of the foal. In the end, to my delight we came to the conclusion that Sumppi could be Litku's mom. So I bought her!

 I am in love with her, and she kicked off my final love for vintage molds. I did not like them that much before getting her and now I need them all! Her colour also has grown onto me, I think it is beautiful on Lady Phase mold. This model is a must get for everyone!

Little Bit Off
And we are circling around to the foal I was talking about. I drooled over her for years. I did not have a traditional foal in my collection before her. And I like to keep my collection as versatile as possible, so getting a foal was a must. I already told a bit about getting her. I knew that I was going to order her, but looked for days to find a mother. I wanted her to have a mother! Breyer doesn't make enough mares! But in the end I got her (was the last of the shop, so was lucky to get her as she is not produced anymore) and I am really happy with her!

Itch You Cannot Scratch
This one was my first breyer! I had been dreaming of breyers for years, and finally asked my mom for one for my birthday. I ordered Sam, but because there was an error Sam was actually out of stock. So I told my mom she could decide what one to get. This is another model that I did not want at all. But with this, that was my opinion until I got him. And the rest is history... This is the only mold I want to conga, and he is a favourite in my collection. So much, that he has his own private shelf! Love, love, love this boy and could not be happier that I got him. If it wasn't for my mom I would of never got him. Pictures don't do him or the mold justice!

Tango Del Dolor
 This boy was a model that I kind of got in a whim. He was on sale, and I googled pictures of him. I did not like the christmas decoration, and it hid the beauty of this one! I saw a couple pictures of him without the tack and fell in love. I LOVE grey colour on animals! This is due to the fact that all my dogs are grey. I know that grey colour works different in horses, but I still love getting models in shades of grey. This boy is a really loved one in my collection. I really love Moody molds, so obviously this one I like. He has gorgeous shading, and under all that tack you can find a model that every collection would like having. Or at least that's what I think.

Other models
Yes, I know I have many other traditionals in my colletion. But a lot of them do not have entertaining stories like the ones above. And I think this part belongs here. Some of my models I can't remember teh stories for. I have just liked them and got them. Before getting a model I always google photos, Breyer's pictures are not that good. A lot of models I would have never gotten if I only looked at those.

I like having a lot of variety in my collection, so I always keep that in mind while buying models. I like having different colors, molds, breeds, you name it. Another thing I look into nowadays is my modelverse. I sometimes need different models for it, so some of my buyings are based on that. Also I just sometimes think a model is pretty and want it just for that reason.

A lot of models have been gifts from my family. With these I normally give them a list of about five or so models that I would like to get. Then they which one to get and surprise me. Because of this I can't write about these models. Sometimes I have a spesific one I want, and I just ask for that instead. But most of the time I go with the list, because it is fun to be surprised. Also it is not always easy to decide on one!

Cliffside Playtime "Kliffi", was a gift from my mom. This one was chosen by her from a list I made. She is amazing.

Easily Enchanting "Esteri", is a model chosen from a list by my sisters. He is greatly loved here!
