Hello i want to know how tall the Thoroughbred is?(from hoof to ears and withers aswell) As on the website it is saying its almost the same as the Cob Stallion which ive got at home and he is quite small. If anyone has got any pictures of the TB and Cob Stallion together that would be great Thanks

Hi, it doesn't say how tall they are from the withers.

The Thoroughbred is 15cms to his ear tips and approx. 12cms to his withers and the Cob Stallion is 14cms to his ear tips and approx. 11cms to his withers

Really? As that would mean the Thoroughbred scaled up to real life would be only 14 Hands.

Are Julip on the smaller side of the 1/12th scale? Thanks

I think Julip may in the 1:14th scale as that would make the TB 15.3 in real life  , thanks for your replies I love finding out what models are if they were real haha |

Either that or in-between 1:13/1:14th I reckon

Honestly I think Julips are closer to true 1/12th scale than the Breyer Classic range - when paired up with doll's house figures the Breyers absolutely dwarf them! XD

XD That's interesting, I just assumed that the Breyer classic was correct 1:12th because it was a Breyer, the dolls house accessories that are available on ebay normally seem about right for the Julip models, except the people/figures sometimes seem a bit too tall. |

Even Breyers aren't consistent in sizes, most of the older Breyer classics are smaller than the newer mould ones (the Hagen Renaker mould ones were smaller and I think the mustang moulds from the Mesteno range are smaller too).
I've bought quite a few dolls house items that are supposed to be 1/12th but they've turned out to be far too small, in some cases more like Schleich scale, about half the size they should be (like the metal radiators. They're tiny). Yet I've had a few supposedly 1/12th scale items that are huge, more like 1/9th scale. There doesn't seem to be much consistency with sizing anywhere.

You have to bear in mind that Julips aren't even consistent in Scale with each other. The old shire mould is very small next to other mounds when you compare it to what you'd expect, for example. I think it adds to their charm  |

I definitely don't think Julip are 1:12th as that would mean the TB would only be 14hh if that and the cob only 12hh, they are about 1:14th as that would mean the tb is 15.3hh and cob 14hh, breyer are definitely 1:12th if you work it out with the scale conversion calculator. I know they aren't in consistence but I like to work it out as if it were real to as close as possible ahaha. |

Elli's right, you can't really accurately scale any of them tbh as the very nature of their construction and moulding means that the models shrink over the lifespan of the mould, and they're all pretty varied to begin with! XD

XD Yeah that's true I suppose, just trying to get a rough idea as trying to create a mini me rider for the models and trying to get it the right height for the scale they are. Just wondering when the mould shrinks to very small does it get re-done? |

Usually! A Julip must be sacrificed in order for a new mould to be made so if it's an old mould it can be a bit of a moral dilemma! XD

The Julips are never going to come out a consistent size even out of two (what would seem) identical moulds they can vary, everything is hand made including the plaster moulds that they are cast from, so two similar models are never going to be exactly the same after they have been poured and buffed down.
And as Elli says the different models have spanned so many decades that there will always be inconsistencies with the various breed sizes due to their origins, shrinkage and the different people that have sculpted them.

I did see a post somewhere on here that showed a mould line up in height order, I cant seem to see the pics anymore, would it be possible to bring it back up? Not sure if it was in height order based on withers or not though, thats what I'm after |
