Along with more traditional pieces, Paityn also offers custom model portraits of alpacas. She does not sculpt the piece herself, but takes Safari ltd. models, and will resculpt, repaint, and otherwise edit the model to look like an animal supplied by a portrait. The result is an OOAK model that can be as fantastical or realistic as you would like. These models come in two sizes, Adult(3.75" x 3.75"), and cria( 2" x 2.5"). An adult, custom piece starts out at $15, while a cria starts out at $10. Halters, leads, blankets, collars and bandanas can also be ordered, depending on buyers preference. These range in price of $1 - $3, depending on the complexity and colour of the tack, and if a name is to be included with it.

The models are a solid, rubbery-type plastic, durable enough for use by children, and detailed enough for use as a stand-alone sculpture. They are first primed in gesso, then sanded down, resculpted with any manufacturing imperfections such as seams, crooked limbs, or uneven legs fixed. Fibre, features, even anatomical parts, can be added with epoxy, or, other features can be changed or even removed as the portrait calls for. They are then re-gessoed, and hand painted in acrylics and pastel, to be sealed in matte krylon spray, with the eyes glossed to look lifelike. An undercoat of iridescent medium can also be requested, to suggest brightness within the coat.

Airbrushing is also an available option for models, however the finishing time may increase.

However, if a custom portrait isn't what you are looking for, premade generic customs are available on our products page range in a wide variety of colours and patterns.

An example of a first gesso coat primed adult and cria can be seen here.

Other models can be requested, both for dogs as well as horses. Depending on the scale of the model, and its availability, prices may vary. However, in general a classic size (1:12 scale) model can be customized and repainted in your choice of acrylic, airbrush, pastel or mixed media for approx. $75, not including tack. A traditional scale (1:9) can be similarly customized and repainted for approx. $100. Model horses and dogs are generally modified from Breyer, Schleich or Safari models. Examples of some previously customized pieces can be found here, here and here. These models will rarely be available as generic premades, though you can keep an eye on the products page should any become available.
