Resincasts
homas Bainbridge
is one of our hobby's "hottest" artists, and has been
doing models for many years. In the past he didn't advertise his
work, but nevertheless, he slowly gathered a following over the
years through word of mouth and from one judge to another as the
handful of hobbiests who had his pieces campaigned their models
to victories in countless photo and live shows.
In 1995, Thomas finished his first resincast, an Arabian he named Renaissance (see photo above). Advertisements showed up in many of the main model horse magazines and, for the first time, the entire hobby population discovered the remarkable and talented artist behind Triangle Productions. Thomas debuted his new resin at the 1995 Breyerfest, also bringing with him an astonishing assortment of repainted and customized models for sale, as well as the master for his next resincast, a Hackney pony stallion named Libertango! I don't know exactly how many models he brought, but I'd say it must have been at least 25-40 horses...he didn't go home with more than a handful, if any!!
