G'day Iron Horse! Yep we cranked up the way-back-machine on that one! I didn't think anyone remebered Alvin and the Chipmonks!One of my faviourits as a kid also. But i think the Groovy Goulies was better. Last night I had a crazy dream About a chick in a black bikini Oh, she looked so good She couldn't be real She must be a magic genie But then she disappeared around the corner All I saw were three doors And the top of her bikini I made it through the first door There was a party going on I asked about the chick But what they said was freaky Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom Don't you jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom I found the bottom half Behind the second door Which took me to Africa I presume This really far out cat Was screaming half crazy "Bomp boom a loo bom a long bam boo" I said, hey man Cut that jive And tell me where the chick went But he looked at me As pleased as could be And said these words But I wonder what he meant Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't you jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom Aaaah, don't ya jes' love it Mmm-hum, don't ya jes' love it Don't ya love it, don't ya love it Oh yeah, don't ya love it Don't ya jes' love it now I opened the third door and there she was And she whispered so sexy, hello-ooh I tried to do the same And impress her with my style But why I said this I'll never know Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't you jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom Don't ya know I'll Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't you jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't you jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom (Mmmmm-aaaah) Don't ya jes' love it Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom It's a wonder they got away with this song on a cartoon,when you read the lyrics

Totaly great, I wanted to learn cad and just never had the time. Had kids instead!! Lots of great stuff on here. Singers and artists and actors.Interesting mix! Suposed to be sleeping now,but not . You don't know H.R. Puffinstuff do you? Or rather do you remember that one? Love Farscape, Jim Henson and the muppets and of course the old Star Trek's , so farscape is just a wonderful mix of them all . Iron Horse is my Studio name. I make model or remake model horses. I hack em up and glue them back together in different positions. I am luckey and blessed enough to have a small group of people who like them . There are some good cm's over yonder also. I can remember her name ,but can't spell it. She does kick butt work though. I hope this posts. gotta go , hubby is calling. ttyl Karenetta aka Elvis

Howdy howdy howdy Niemmy, It took a while but I rememberd the referance for the way-back machine. Prof. Peabody and his boy Sherman right? What were they on? Capt. Kangroo? And the Groovy Ghoulies were bear like toons weren't they? What about "There coming to take me away?haha ,There coming to take me away !hoho. "Not on a toon just interesting . TV toon history. I used to get into the back of ours ,tv ,and yes it was that big , and pretend to be a space man/ person . It had all kinds of huge bulbs and tubes and what not and my father had a fit. He mentioned things like dieing from the thing blowing up and the cost of those things. Been a looonng time since I was that small. There was a show on that had puppets in space in the early 60 and a robot , there is always a robot right. Not Lost in Space. I just can barely remember it . I did not realize till a short while ago that you were a pro. Your stuff is so good. Well I must go sand some of my stuff. I should have sent them out already but the holidays got me. Sent my airbrush in for repairs 3 weeks ago and its not back yet and they were closed when I called about it because of a snow storm. arhg. Here is the addy for the webshots album I have if you want to look. You being a pro I would be honerd. Thank you and good night Karenetta community.webshots.com/user/ironhorse118

Good Morning Niemmy, Sure you can only if someone else painted it, they ask that you list there names. As for me I am flattered that you would ask. Use any of them you would like to. I need to ad the new ones. Terra Pennington is painting one for a lady right now. Its a dapple grey spanish stallion doing the floating walk. or extended trot. I hyper extended the front leg anyway. Its a thing I can do with out have to have tons of stuff to do it with and I use mostly a hacksaw and a dremel. Some of the palm carving tools. The horses are remade from Breyer Toys. You cut them apart and use apoxie sculpt to remake them using pins in the joints to be sure they never move. There are alot of people who do this and when I started I was suprized because I had never heard of them or this kind of hobby. I sell them on Ebay or the Model Horse Sales Page and they have what are called resins on there that are original. Hand painted,or airbrushed and just so very beautiful . I think you are right about the airbrush. I have a few of them but I liked this one the best. It works just right for me. I bought an Iwata because the others who paint all the time talk about how good they are and I just could not mesh with it. Most of the customizers just paint them , I am one of the few that can stand the mess remaking makes. I have neighbors with lots of horses so I can check and make sure when I rebuild I get the muscles right. Not always but I try. Prof. Peabody always had some deadpain one liner at the end of the show ,he was a hoot. I watched that alot. I don't know how Virgina Hey is . I just send her funnys when I get them , I hope she doesn't mind . Some of the things my friends send me just crack me up so. so I send them on to others. I live in a small rural area and there are no people around that like to do the kind of stuff I do. No one here paints or carves they do some awesome quilt work and chainsaw carving. Monster weilders up north of here makes stuff from old tractor parts and auto paint and its pretty cool. My aunt used to do found art. And she would redo old dolls and make new clothes for them. I found the site while looking up Farscape stuff. I totaly love Moya. In fact I named one of my drafter mares after her. I named one Dargo also. I am a huge fan of the show. I think the form of Moya is graceful and sleek. I like that she is "whale like" , and think that her star burst is beautiful. I just find the whole show , well , I just miss it . I watch it here at 11pm and stay up till 1 am to watch it again. It will be on tonight. And I will stay up and try to catch both of them . I get up at six. So sat. night is my big night of the week!! Hubby watches csi. kids and I watch Farscape! Love the custumes . Saw Wayne on Lost. Cool. I had no idea what he looked like . Nice looking fellow. gotta go my coffee is done. Everyone is asleep but me. And I am watching cartoons. Scooby Doo . ttyl , Karenetta

Yep I agree, I love how they gave the ships in farscape very unique shapes "a very organic look to them"
Yer i love Draft Horses,Back when I was kid , we had draft horses pulling the local milk cart, I always loved hearing it clip clop along in the morning doing it's rounds.
So out of interest can you make good money making the horses?

Well , some of the girls get anywhere from $100. to $3000. For a paint job on a good resin. Some give them away, to get started. These models are entered in contests all over the world. I will pay roughly 30-50. for a body. Depends on whither its new, used or a resin or whatever I see something in. Resins are solid , Br eyers and Stones are hollow. The resins will have wire in the leg and the prices on them start at 60. for a tiny or stablemate sized on Sm for short. thats about 3 inches. The Trades are around 8inches and they start in the 150 range and go to 200+ I saw an Orinoco Arab get over 3000 on the mhsp and it was unpainted. But it was to die for beautiful.Then its another 30 to have someone clean the seam lines off and "Prep" it. If you can't paint then you have to get a painter. The good good ones have a waiting list of up to two years. they will airbrush , pastel , pencil . and draw on veins if they have to. My horses are unpainted customs and the most I ever got for a body was 192 and it was sold to a person in Japan. No , I did get a laptop computer worth alot for the last war lander. I keep it at moms for when my phone goes out over here. Sometimes one will sell the minute it hits and other times ,nothing. Right now since people know my work and it has NAN'd { North American Nationals } in workmanship against one of the best looking resin drafters I ever saw.. Workmanship covers both the cm'er and the painter. One called Brigadoon came in 6th place at Las Vegas Live against the drafter I mentioned , another came in 2ed in a pony class and both of them were painted by other people. Sheryl Leisure and Myla Pierce . My pieces are all ooak or one of a kind. Thats why they bring as much as a resin. Some people will take a body like I do and cm it then have it cast as a resin. Maky many many money that way. I want to cast my own but , I am to chicken poop to put that kind of money out and maybe it not sell and I also want to mold it from clay from the begining only I don't know squat about armatures. In short I have no nards. or I would find a way. I am about a half way good painter. But not yet good enough with the airbrush to paint my own cms. I get way more for them nekid. I have been blessed with making some good friends in the hobby. Really nice people . Mostly females like myself that love horse s and for one reason or another can't have real ones. I am on a yahoo group called firehorsefun you can join and just listen in or talk as much as you like and ask all the questions you want . Also I have a yahoo group called Ironhorsestudios . I never go there all my friends are on the frist one. Please come and join. I will get some web addys for you. Deb Loveless has the Frost group and she does just pastels, her bud is Terra Pennington and she airbrushes and pastels and she is currently working on my Spanish stud. El Greco. The woman that gets any where from 2 to 3 grand for a painted Resin is Stephanie Michaud She paints in oils. takes her weeks to do one. well I did not mean to write a book but I did. I will go get some addys for you and you can see the way they are painted. Some of the people make a living at it and some just do it for them selves . With me its kinda both. I am not going to Paris or anything like that on it , but I can pay a few bills with it.

Here is an addy for the model horse sales page. At the top you will find a links button and when you click it go to the right hand colum and find artists and services then you can look up Grand Cheval Studios. Thats Steph and The Illistrated horse which is Deb Loveless also look for halfastfarms. That is Myla Pierce. All lovely people and well known. also they are all different and they all kick butt. I sold Myla a body and she painted it and got $650 for it. I think I am in the wrong end of the buisness . oh yeah , what did you do to Virginia Hey? Can't help it I gotta ask? When I was a kid the junk man in Detroit had a horse drawn cart. My mom would just freak whenever I got near it. He had the softest nose. The horse not the junk man. Stargate is on and Farscape is next. ttyl Karenetta. You can look me up on advanced search on mhsp it has my last horse on it. The one Terra is painting for the buyer.

G'day Kat Thanks for the interesting info on the horses,You have given me a few really good ideas that I might be able to make afew bucks. So do think people would be interested in woden horse heads like maybe in a greek war horse pose? I suppose I could just have to try one and see how it goes, Who know's it might sell, I heard that someone sold the father ghost for $65,000 US over "Gezz they will buy anything there!" So anything is possible you think? ;D ;D Oh while I remember! The thing that got Virginia really nuts. What I did was, one day I asked her out for some Dolphin Steaks and some Whale hambergers, And she went off her nut about and wrote half a page on the evils of hunting dolphins and whales.Yep and she still pretty mad at me!But it really was pretty funny at the time,Unfortunatly she didn't see it the same way. hehe Oh well must be off I have that Tripod I'm itching to do! Talk to you soon Kat Bye Oh PS I found some really nice posters of Virginia "She really hot too!Hmmm It's To Bad about our dinner date though! ;D ;D" www.scifidesktop.org.uk/Wallpaper/Actresses/T-Z/Virginia/Virginia_Hey(1).htm

Gooday Bigrin!! [did I get that right?} Well did you get started on the tripod??? Do you have any good pictures of Moya and or Talon? I was thinking of carving a Moya. Have not done anything like that for a while and I really love her shape. Dolphins and whale huh? No wonder you ruffled her feathers. Don't think I could eat one of them , but we eat deer. Yep. Bambi on the table and in the soup. Way healtheir than beef, and they eat my sweet corn . grrrrh. You might just carve the head of a horse and leave the bookends part off. One of the best horse artists in the world lives in Oz.[is that right?} She has a place called Westerly Designs. Her name is Karen G. I can't spell her last name.She won a huge award here for her work. Do you see the people from farscape very often ? Send them my best ok? I gotta go , I have to write to someone and tell her when I am sending her horse , I forgot all about it. Katz
