“Dibley” Leopard Appaloosa

This stunning little pony has a subtle “hair” texture within the white areas that is hard to appreciate with photos! Must see in person if you are visiting Kentucky for Breyerfest. This is a rare paint job for me, as he is almost entirely “hand painted” with very little airbrush work - a technique that I rarely use as hand painted acrylics can be extremely time consuming. Airbrushing was used for a little shading here and there, but he is about 80% hand painted with the remainder little touches of airbrushing to enhance shading. A unique departure from my typical paint work. 

His auction ends about the same time as the Artisan’s Gallery ends on Friday, so you will have many hours on Friday night to view him in person, before bidding. Not attending Breyerfest? Please check out the videos of him on my Instagram page @ studio_sommer

The videos and photos can’t really capture the details of him in person, but if you bid and win, but are not attending Breyerfest in person, I will ship him to you, possibly directly from Lexington (if I have the supplies to do so) or I will return to Arizona and ship him to you about a week later.

There is a 10% “cash and carry” discount off the total final bid, if you can pay cash in Kentucky, and walk off with him at the event.

TRADES? While no trades are needed at this time, I will make an exception if you have already purchased a “blank” Dibley resin. I will credit $450 (Yes - $450 which is much more than his issue price!) towards an unpainted blank “Dibley” resin, and this may be applied as a down payment. 

Time Pays: Payment in full is preferred. Time pays are available, but ONLY if you have all “green lights” and no “red lights” on any hobby boards. A non refundable deposit of $500 is required and payments would need to be totally completed by Dec 31, 2026. There are no refunds on time payments; please do not bid if you are unsure you can pay off the resin in that time frame. Payment by PayPal Goods & Services is also available, which may be able to offer long term financing.

Item may be picked up by buyer in-person in Lexington, KY on Saturday night before the close of the Artisan's Gallery. If buyer is bidding from home, and not at Breyerfest, resin will be sent fully insured via USPS at the earliest possible date after the event, or shipped after payment in full, if there is a time payment arrangement. Sorry, no International shipping available at this time on OOAK items above $500 value, due to Insurance / Liability / Tarriff issues. Exceptions to International shipping may be made for shipping to Canada, for approved buyers with verified feedback, as I have thankfully had success shipping there recently. Please check before bidding.
