I thought this was REALLY fun to paint. It isnt durable at all, though. It is made out of different material than regular breyers (kind of glass like). So don't buy this if you want to play with it afterwords. I accidently gave mine a REALLY light touch to a chair, and the leg came off. But it is VERY fun to paint!

I purchased the Breyer Horse paint kit for my 8-year old grand-daughter. As a horse rider and horse lover, she planned out how she was going to paint her horse, took her time, changed her mind, took her time!! She had fun in doing this kit. Although not artist-perfect, she was very proud to add her "own" Breyer to her Breyer horse collection. Will be purchasing another one for this year as well.

This model is made out of a different materials than other breyers, not a big deal to me, but if you want to play with it after painting I would not recommend this. The horse its self is a little fat, so it looks a little weird (thats not meant to be critical but its really noticeable so I thought I would mention it) I understand they were trying to make this easy, but really the craters for the numbers and lines are huge, you can really seen them through the paint which bothers me. It does not come with enough paint in my opinion of course I was trying to cover up the huge number and line craters. I didn't follow the preset design and made my own design. I would not recommend this for people who are impenitent, you have to wait for each section to dry before painting more that is if you want it to look good, which like I said I did my own design, but if you follow the preset design it will take some time. I actually bought this because it was a cheap unpainted quarter horse mare resin in a nice pose, so it fit the bill for me and I would buy it again, but if your buying this for a child then it might not be so good. If your someone whos getting into painting resins (models) it would be a nice beginner model.

If you have ever done a piant by number (whatever kind) you'll find that it really is difficult to get the picture, model, whatever to look good, as is the case here. All of Breyer's craft kits are EXTREMELY difficult, they always try to make it sound/look easy, but I have yet to find a kit that is easy. In all of their painting kits, I have purchased professional model paints in order for the model to look good. It is not worth the money or the time I spent.

Don't mind Sour puss here. Breyer's kits are fun and enjoyable they teach you how the model painters feel when they paint their models. Breyer's kits bring out the professional in you to paint a horse. It's dosen't matter how bad you think it it is a childhood tresure to chrish forever.
