BODY PUMP 74

BHR horses were introduced to the model horse collecting market in 1994 and are made of high quality polyresin, material that is combined in liquid form with a mixture of porcelain dust. The mixture is pumped into a silicone rubber mold under vacuum conditions. Because the rubber mold is an exact replica of the original, all of the details contained in the master piece are captured in the copies.

These resins are very heavy - each weighs about 5 lbs, and are solid! These were designed with the model horse collector in mind, and are not toys!

Each mold had a variety of colours available. and were finished by hand. A final clear coating is given to make the model scratch resistant. All are laquer based and high gloss (most people think these are ceramic when they see them!). There were (very few) some models produced in a matte finish.

Most weekends in TorC we have a half dozen yard sale opportunities to
check out. Today (Friday) there was only one yard sale about six miles
from our place. We scored a Poppery electric popcorn maker ($50 value
due to it's ability to roast coffee) and a vacuum sealer both for $10.
Wendy bitched at me all the way home since we should have spent more
like $3 for this stuff. Anyway the vacuum sealer was a risk, but it
works great. We have been wanting to purchase one, but generally they
go for $100 new. This vacuum sealer should help us with preserving
more of our food with a little less need for canning. If the unit
holds up we might even purchase the mason jar accessory which pumps
all the air out of the can.
