Glück gehabt

Als Breyer das War Horse Joey auf dem Man O'War mold rausbrachte, war eigentlich klar, dass ich den haben möchte, damit meine Conga ein Mitglied mehr bekommt. Blöderweise war mir entgangen, dass das Modell limitiert ist und so war ich beim ersten Schwung zu spät, alle Modelle schon weg.
Doch der MPV hat nochmal welche reinbekommen und deshalb hatte ich nun verspätet Glück. :) Mano Box

Carl ist natürlich auch glücklich- endlich mal wieder ein Vollblüter für seine Zucht. Hier sind erste Bilder des Hengstes Storm Warning

(Den Namen hat er bekommen, weil er gestern ankam und wir eine Unwetterwarnung samt dazugehörigem Gewitter hatten.)

English Summary:
When Breyer announced that War Horse Joey would be released on the Man O'War mold, I was elated because a pretty bay would be just right for my Conga. Unfortunately I missed the fact that the model is limited so when I got around to order one finally, the German sellers were already out of stock.
I groused and decided to wait, because sooner or later one of these would cross my path, I was sure. And I was right- the MPV got another batch of them in store. There was no way I would miss out again at that excellent opportunity and so I ordered one.
I have not regretted that - just look at the gorgeous shadings (lets not mention the overall quality, though..)- what an awesome horse.
Above you see a picture of the boxed horse as he arrived here, then just below my updated MoW-Conga-line.
As to his role in my herd- Carl was very delighted to finally see a Thoroughbred move in again after all those ponies. *g* His name is Storm Warning now and you can see some first halter pictures above.
He got this name since we had a storm warning through the radio broadcast and an impressive thunderstorm later that day, yesterday, so this was kind of the ideal incentive to name him.
