Frequently Asked Questions

As a small start up business, I do not currently reach the turnover threshold which requires me to register to charge VAT. For this reason prices appear as "tax exempt". No VAT is accordingly due on any of my sales.

Of course. Although all molds vary in their exact size I hope this helps give a rough estimation of sizes. I have taken these sizes from the front of a Breyer catalogue.

Traditional

Approx. 12"L X 9"H

1/9th Scale

Classic

Approx. 9"L X 6"H

1/12th Scale

Paddock Pal

Approx. 6"L X 5"H

1/24th Scale

Stablemate

Approx. 4"L X 3"H

1/32th Scale

Miniature

A body is a poor quality model horse that usually has breaks, rubs and scratches.

As standard we will do minor seams, seals and the removal of OF paint jobs.

Unfortunately we do not. If your model has breaks or a custom paint job or anything else that we will not prep then we recommend that you contact Hunters Moon Models for an excellent prep job.

No worries! Just send an email to catriona@chestnutridge.co.uk and we will let you know the size that best fits your model.

We estimate around 2 weeks depending on the level of orders and other commitments.

Yes. We seal all our model with a high quality sealant and use gloss to highlight specific areas such as the eyes.

Usually not as they tend to be my own model that I don't want to work on, or that need large amounts of prepping.

The terms G1, G2, G3 and G4 are codes given to the Stablemate molds made by Breyer. The G4 horses are the newest range. The codes are simply in place to distinguish between different molds with the same name (for example the G1 Arabian, G2 Arabian and G3 Arabian).
