Five of my thirteen rainbow models are customs. Sheer happenstance has them nicely grouped into two distinct sets, so I'll talk about the first group today.
These two customs were painted by my friend Heather Jackson-Lain of Soul Pony Studios.
Before BreyerFest 2019, she posted a CHIN sales preview on her studio page on Facebook, and the pastel rainbow G5 Chrome immediately caught my eye. I wasn't sure if I'd get to her room in time to buy him, but happily, I did!
The Sherman Morgan Mini Whinnie was also obtained from Heather in an unofficial trade a couple months later. I had sent her some blank medallions that I was never going to get around to painting, without expecting anything in return; I just wanted someone to get some enjoyment out of them, and who better to send them to than a hobby artist who was up-and-coming at the time? But Heather had paid attention a few days prior when I’d gushed on her studio page about some rainbow Sherman Morgan Mini Whinnies she’d already painted, and sent me one as a surprise thank you for the medallions. He likes to hang out between his larger deco buddies Crescent City and Carpe Diem on the shelf.
