Whether you plan to show miniatures, simply display them at home, or create them for the sheerpleasure of the craft, Rio Rondo is the place to shop for the most unique selection of horse-relatedminiature supplies. Most of the specialty items found in this catalog are Rio Rondo exclusives—designed by and produced for Rio Rondo—items you simply cannot find anywhere else! Rio Rondohas been providing supplies to model horse enthusiasts since 1983.

So . . . take a few moments to browse through our latest catalog, and enjoy! You’re sure to end upwith many new ideas for your miniature projects, and we’d love having you as a customer in the nearfuture!

Size & Scale . . .Traditional Scale (Trad.) includes Peter StoneTM and BreyerTM model horses of the larger size, as well asother brands and molds of similar dimensions.

Classic Scale (Clas.) is approximately 1:12 (dollhouse) scale, and includes mid-sized plastic models andaccommodates some ceramic brands such as Hagen-Renaker, and the Peter StoneTM Pony.

Color ChoicesPlease specify the color of items you order where applicable. Many kits containing strap goods such as bridlesand halters may come in several colors. The basic color choice key is:

K=Black B=Brown R=Rust N=NaturalFor metal items that come in silver or gold colors the key codes are:

S=Silver Color G=Gold ColorOrdering Example: KH1t-b = Stock Halter Kit/Brown color B12s = B12 buckle in silver color

If no color choice for items available in several colors is indicated on your order form, we will ship the mostcommonly requested color for that item.

Units . . .The “UNIT” column on your order form means how the item is packaged and sold—for example, “each”, “set”,“pack”, “pair”, “sheet”, etc.

Etched ItemsIf you are ordering etched items such as buckles, slotted rings or hardware sheet assortments, we stronglyrecommend that you cut the pieces out of the sheets, rather than bend them apart. Any small pair of cutterswill do. Start by cutting one or two edges of the ‘frame’ off of the sheet, then remove the parts in strips, andcut the strips apart. Sometimes bending the parts off the sheets will cause the parts to warp or break.

Special OrdersSome items not shown or expressly offered in our catalog may be special ordered. Most notably, this wouldinclude items available in gold such as lacing, wire and sheet stock. If you have a need for these items, pleaseinquire.

When it comes to collecting and the hobby arts, resin-castsculptures are in a class of their own. A step up from plastic,resins are often issued directly and exclusively from thesculpting artist (or their business partners) and the moldingquality and details are exquisitely faithful to each original.Unpainted resin “bodies” (as we offer here) will require someseam preparation and priming before they are painted.(However, some people like to collect resins “as is”!) Some of the best tools for removing seams on resins andmany other items are our Carbide Scrapers, found on Page 16.
