This just reached 15k views 🤯 Thank you all so much for watching and commenting!!! 🥹🥰 I’m so happy to hear a project I made for fun brought others joy too!
-
This custom was so impressive! It was truly awesome to see her transformation. I think you definitely succeeded in making her unique while still keeping her recognizable as a PAM to those of us who know the model. Great work!
-
Thank you! I’ve been in this hobby since I was a kid (fringes); I’m in my 40’s now…and I learned a lot from watching this video! Now to apply some of that learning to the extreme custom I’m working on!
-
This is nothing less than wondrous! I ruined many a model back in the 70's when I was a young collector, then put it all aside for years. Now I'm about to saw a bunch of scratched up models to do a project but I may just have to see if I can give something like this a try - I enjoyed this to pieces! Thank you for your at!
-
Okey I could have sworn I made a comment, but here we go: This is absolutely insane! The amount of work you put in and how you managed to still keep her as Pam, but also make her look so realistic is stunning! Thank you so much for this Video!
-
This makes me so happy and inspired to watch! Your voice is so calming too!

Your channel just showed up. The PAM is one of my favorites, and was my first Breyer model back in the 1970's the black charcoal with white. This remake is beautiful . Adding the mare parts is great. It's always been a disappointment of the models, not having them, it adds realism to the model. I have wanted to remake the Black Stallion model. The right side is nice but the left is way off. I would want to paint it to look like the real horse it's based on. Cas'Ole. From San Antonio Arabians. The star of the movie. He is my all time favorite Arabian horse. Although he didn't match the description from the books Cas'Ole is very close. Wish I had the confidence to attempt the remake. Your work is spectacular.

This gives me goals with some of my plastics that need a new future. My skills will improve thanks to your time and effort in making these videos. Your model is fabulous but so is your ability to make videos! 😊

This is awesome and so inspiring! Please please make more videos like this!

Kristen I feel every moment of your pain through this process! Thank you sincerely for sharing. Being an artist is like being a scientist! You are incredible. I feel like I know you just from your process. I’m the type of person that has to know every single tiny detail ti every process and I’m not satisfied until I do. I love your tenacity and I commend you and love your process. Thank you so so very much for sharing! The tiny amount that you have shared has definitely given me the path I’ve needed to go! You can’t possibly record every single detail and these things are trial and error depending on environment etc etc. safety first always! Thank you so much my friend. I love your work and I can tell you are a kind soul. God bless you and many good future molds to you my dear! Xoxo
