rlin Robins is the only artist
I've ever featured who isn't part of our hobby, but who is planning
to be in the near future (circa 2000). This talented lady works in bronze for
the most part, and her pieces are good enough that they attracted
the attention of the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. She is
currently working on a Classic-sized Pegasus which will be cast
in resin, and also plans to release a trio of Littlebit-sized
"Itchy Colts." The photo to the right shows her stunning
bronze dolphins that greet visitors at the entrance to the Mirage,
and the view above shows what they look like looking through the
archway. All of the photos in this gallery have larger linked
photos to see the detailing in each piece.

Pegasus Mare & Foal
This exquisite piece was a limited edition of only
25 and were first sold for $500 and are now worth $5,000 each!
I *WISH* Arlin could cast this beautiful piece in resin! 
Pegasus
This beautiful piece is an older but popular; she's
sculpting a new one right now which will be even nicer and will
cast it in resin!
Whatcha Doin' Ma?
Many mares are kept in box stalls to have their foals
and afterwards are kept inside for a few days before letting the
new pair outside. The mares usually won't roll in the stall because
they're afraid to hurt the foal, so the very first thing they
usually do when let out with their baby is to drop down and have
a good back rub! The babies react one of two ways: they either
buck and kick, running all over the place, or they stand stiff-legged
and bug-eyed looking at their moms, like this little fellow, wondering
what the heck she is doing! This piece is also Littlebit sized.
