Welcome to the
SUE
SUDEKUM GALLERY
ue
R. Sudekum has been an active hobbyist since 1973, showing and
creating more horses with every passing year. The first model
she ever laid brush to was an old Hartland 9" Five-Gaiter
which she painted black with India ink. Fortunately for her, and
the hobby in general, she got a little more adventurous and over
the years has become reknown for her spectacular Appaloosas. She
works in exclusively in acrylics and has created many stunning
models which have gone on to win countless championships not only
in America, but also Germany and Australia. Although not a household
name, her consistent creation of quality and affordable customs
has made her a worthwhile contributor to the model horse hobby.
This gallery shows only a fraction of the hundreds of horses
(and other creatures) that Sue has created over the years. Many
of these horses are still owned and shown by her at live shows
across the country, and still bring in the ribbons. Other models
have been created especilly for their owners, and are portraits
of living horses. Even others are purely figments of Sue's imagination...can
you tell which are which?
As you look at these images, perhaps you can see the subtle
change in styles over the years. A rolling stone gathers no moss,
and neither does Sue. Almost each new model has a new technique
or shading idea applied to it, a new way to reposition, a new
sculpting or hairing technique. It is this dynamic evolution that
keeps the hobby of model horse customizing and showing as vital
and significant today as it was in the beginning!
The mutant model above is a clear indicator of Sue's wild and
crazy personality...she doesn't take the hobby so seriously that
she can't have some fun by creating such a glorious monster! To
