A Salute to Copperfox (and Dreams!)

It’s been said that we are not given the power to wish without also being given the power to make it come true.  Many of us are Dreamers, and we work hard to make things come true.  Opportunities are created in a myriad of ways, but effort and a little luck often lead to success.  When help comes in the form of community support, the results can be nothing short of amazing, and a successful example of crowdfunding in modeldom is the Copperfox company.  Using Kickstarter, a small but mighty company was launched that brought us some lovely molds and quality models over several
years.  Here is my “Founding Fox” Connemara (who had better dappling than most), and I will always treasure my little copper fox pin!


Several molds were produced and finished in various colorways to represent British breeds.  Here they are depicted as mini Resins (produced by Seunta).

                                      

While production costs proved to become too much, the concept of high quality was maintained and eventually the decision was made to end their production.  Whether the molds will be utilized in the future remains to be seen.  We were lucky to have a dream realized.
                                  

“What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?”  Keep dreaming big and working to make them come true!
