In case you haven't noticed, I am finally updating. The move is complete. I still haven't built my hobby room, but it's working it's way through city approval.
There is a little section on the left called Latest News. Notice I'm working my way through the Traditional Adults updates right now. Since the move I've bought a few too many models (only 150-200 or so) plus visited two friends and photographed their rare models. Lots and lots of updates. I've spent three days so far just on the Trads and I'm only up to "R."
I made a math error. It's more like the last 400 models added to my collection being uploaded....
Sad but true, I now have every color and variation of FAM ever made, almost... and about six new PAS/PAM in dapple grey, and a herd of brown pinto indian ponies both with war paint and without. *sigh* I'm going to need to weed out duplicates when the collection gets unpacked.
4-4-2013 -- Finished updating the traditional adults. Going to start working on the traditional foals.

In May, after 2 months of packing my model collection, we put our gorgeous, airy tri-level Arcadia home up for sale. Those people who've seen me limping around Breyerfest for years know I have a bad knee. But last winter I couldn't climb the stairs without serious pain. We bought a nice single story ranch style home in Duarte and moved in at the end of September -- almost everything went in the garage. I can't find anything. The contractors finished the remodel on October 30th. I'm taking a few weeks off to regain my sanity (what little I have) before calling in Tuff Shed to build my collection room. I'm thinking 16' x 24' might hold my 4000 models plus give me a little room to grow. In the mean time, my collection is STILL in storage off site. I'm using a closet for my recent purchases. Now I just need to find my camera.
Breyerfest was hot, humid and fun as usual. But I had to hurry home, escrow closed the beginning of August. I did manage to photograph almost everything on hand before the move, plus visit some friends for more hard to find rare Breyers. These will be going up now that I don't have to babysit contractors, sit in plaster dust, paint dust, sawdust, etc.
More on Passage to the Pacific after I've had a chance to think on it. It's going to be long. I LOVED it! Friesian Focus was my dream stable with amazingly friendly horses and people. Scripps Miramar was fantastic. They pulled old carriages/carts out of storage just so we could drool on them. I don't have enough positive adjectives to describe that day. I can, and will later, go on and on about watching Friesians performing dressage in the mist and feeling like a child watching the circus come to town at Scripps Miramar ranch.

18th - Just finished uploading all the classics. For the moment, they are done. Until Breyer announces something else.
21st - Only have Stablemates and Traditionals left to update. Okay, that's a lot but I have the time. If you like Livestock be sure to visit the Texas Longhorns. Photographed a complete collection of Brown #75 - now have normal, eye whites, chalky, pearly and end-of-run 80s versions.
