If you could design your Holy Grail...
If you could have any favorite model, whether plastic, resin, OF, or custom, what would it be? For example, would it be a Deputed Duke resin in bay blanket Appaloosa? Or would it be an OF Breyer Goffert (Friesian) in palomino? Maybe it already exists, like an old OF Breyer Wedgewood in great condition or the new Ruffian resin sculpted by Kitty Cantrell and painted by Caroline Boydston.
This is always a tough question for me because I love so many colors and it's hard to choose just one or two great sculptures. I spent a large part of my life involved in Arabians so I often dream about having a really nice Arabian sculpture with *Muscat's distinct color and markings. But I think the sculpture would have to have *Muscat's build for it to be really appealing, and there aren't many Arabian resins out there with his body type.
What model(s) do you dream about? If you post your comments as "Anonymous," please consider including your name in your post. ~~Kristin

Oh, goodness. What a tough question!
I have to say, the resin "Tuvaksholeh" in just about any color is high on the list (because when there are only six in existence, my chances of getting one are so far below 'nil' only quantum physicists can calculate them)... But while I'm dreaming, I'm going to say golden bay or silvery dun/grey.
Ditto all those other Akhal resins out there-- Apple Techie, Sergei, and Kiska too. :D And I want at least one of them painted a really lustrous, shaded true-blue-black, and one in a rich red bay.
OF-wise, there are a couple that already exist (Sir Galahad, High Wire, Merlin, the QVC glossy mahogany Sherman Morgan), and a few I'm just keeping my fingers crossed; the latter includes a Huck Bey in Uncalled For's colors. :D
In addition, though less specific than "this mold in that color," I'm just hoping for some GOOD new molds-- I was really disappointed by Goffert and Kennecbec, who seem stiff and stylized, and very "solid" compared to the detailing and open spaces on, say, Huck Bey. I'm also reaaaalllly not fond of models that rely on stands, so the Warmblood and Smarty Jones don't do anything for me either.
Assuming they produced a gorgeous new mold, I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it came in that beautiful dappled grey that Ideal is done up in. :)

I'd like to see a great show Morgan {although I love Covenant Kept...he's old style } and that's not whats winning in the show ring now!
Neat Morgan English/Hunter type Morgan for performance ...something between a little bulkier breyer NSH and Miz Charisma! Color ...either a great black, shaded dark Bay or a liver chestnut like my sister's good mare
{dappled milk chocolate with slight red undertones!}
