Instead of spamming the forum every time I got a new pet, I decided to whip up a little website for my Julip collection and their stories. The eccentric gentleman's not-so-eccentric grandson contacted us again, and now we have a few new pets and a new pony  |

It looks as if your new 'pets' have settled in nicely, I love the new website They sure have. I think they were all glad to see their old pen-mates again And thank you very much. I just used the Julip ID site as a template and changed the colours. I do like a good template |

We've got a few new ponies here at Farfrae! Their story and profiles I think I'm going to need to paint that "trailer" grey or something next time I have the airbrush out. The black is just too dark, but I had a can of black spray paint handy at the time |

Three out of five of my vintage restoration models have been completed. I had intended to do a more in-depth story about their restoration, but kept forgetting to take progress pictures! The process was essentially, mix Milliput, spread Milliput, smooth Milliput, cuss at Milliput, leave it to dry. Sand Milliput, mix Milliput, spread Milliput, smooth Milliput, cuss at Milliput, leave it to dry. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Sand, sand, sand, sand. Paint, paint, paint. Clean airbrush for the next half hour. Hair! Pictures! Anyway, here's the first installment of Call the Vet! and pictures of the new Vintage horse page. I'm gingerly prodding the Pony Mare and Jumping Horse and eyeballing the new box of Milliput, but I think I might take a little break for a week or so while I work on the ID site and some new photo stories. |

WOW! Definitely worth all the effort, it looks like you went back in time 40 years and just bought some brand new ones. Cheeky has the cutest expression well done for giving then a new lease of life. |

Thank you everyone! I'm really tickled with them myself. I debated with myself about the black legs on the foal, but I have seen some around that age that look like they were airbrushed and I think it looks so much nicer than the hand-painted legs he had before.
The remaining models are very scary - incredibly soft and stuffing coming out everywhere. I'll try to be better about documenting their progress.

Mr. R has just completed some wicked awesome Julip pets for me! The pictures aren't anything fancy as I was just too excited about these guys to wait until I could do a more elaborate set-up. The Three Ages of MalachiBeautiful Joe (there's a new family member) |

That parrot! How adorable! And I love the puddycats that's such a sad story about the doggy they're absolutely beautiful pets! Thank you! I couldn't be more thrilled with them. It is a sad story, but he did live a long and happy life with his family and his story did a lot to raise awareness about animal cruelty. After Mr. R's recovered from this lot, I'm going to order The Three Ages of Tobermory and maybe another character from Beautiful Joe. |
