First Post of the Day
Breyer awards volunteers who help with BreyerFest and other events an "ambassador model" to thank them for their service. Since I taught a virtual workshop this year, I was given one.
The 2026 model was Vegvisir and done on the Rhenish Draft/Georg mold. Two of the three colors were revealed at BreyerMidwest in Kansas last February:
Vegvisir in dapple palomino,
and in dappled buckskin.
The third color was not given out to volunteers then- it was a surprise to be revealed at BreyerFest.
My BreyerFest ambassador model arrived yesterday. I opened the box to find a heavily bubble wrapped model inside.
I could see a faint yellow color so I assumed I had gotten the palomino version. But that was incorrect.
I'd received the cremello, the third piece that had not been revealed until BreyerFest!
He is beautiful and if I'd been given a choice, I would've chosen the cremello.
Thank you, Breyer - he's lovely!
I've now taught six workshops for Breyer plus I have helped with Breyer Boot Camp and the Breyer Resin Futurity a couple of times. Here's a look at the other ambassador models I've received.
Salud, 2025
Worth It, 2024 (I love the Bluegrass Bandit mold!)
Chevaliere, 2023 (I am not a fan of the Croi mold but I absolutely LOVE this model!)
Zeitgeist, 2022 and one of my favorite pieces of all in my collection. She is gorgeous!
Ben Nevis, 2020
I view teaching workshops as a way I can give back to Breyer to thank them for the years and years of fun I've had with my models. Take away the ambassador models and I'd still volunteer to teach or help out Breyer.
These models are the cherry on top for volunteering. Thank you, Breyer.
