Featured JAH - 4/13/2024, July/Aug 1999

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! This week's edition is July/Aug 1999. I'm definitely ready for summer here, so let's get going! 

On the front cover, Zippo Pine Bar and the Jack Russell Terrier make their debut! On the back cover is a similar scene featuring a foal and a pug. Aww! 

In the Editor's Desk, Stephanie talks about model horse shows and hangs out at the Rolex Kentucky. On page 3 is the beginning of part 3 of the airbrush painting article series continued from the last issue. 

The airbrushing article continues on page 4 and wraps up on page 5. 

On page 6-7 is a short story by a young writer.

On page 8-9, the Companion Animals make their debut! It's kind of funny that they tried to disguise one new mold as three (the different colors of Lab) by just turning it different ways. I didn't have any of these particular models, but I do have the border collie and the Dalmatian. 

After skipping some information about companion animals, on page 12 we have a Breyerfest update, and on page 13 is a Blast From the Past featuring Stud Spider and a Just About...Breyer Animals! featuring the Bighorn Ram. 

After skipping a judge's clinic and the photo show results, in the centerfold we have the photo show champions in full color! I've never been partial to haired models, but I do love that Clydesdale in the center. 

On page 22-23 is a Brushstrokes article about the creation of the Huckleberry Bey mold. Huck really was a revolutionary model - I don't think we'd really seen anything with his level of detail prior to his release. Nowadays, things like carved frogs, open areas in the mane and tail, and other fine details are things we take for granted, but at the time it was pretty mindblowing. 

On page 24-25 we have an article about Zippo Pine Bar, the latest Breyer portrait horse.

On page 26 is Dear JAH, and on page 27 we have the beginning of an article about Montie Montana and Poncho Rex.

On page 28 is the rest of the article about Montie Montana. The first page of Horse Trader is cropped out. 

After skipping some Breyer jr. stuff, we have a Who Am I? on page 38 featuring some kind of Ideal Quarter Horse, and a paint variation of the palomino Rearing Stallion. On page 39 is the first page of this issue's Vintage Point article, featuring Pluto! 

On page 40-41 is the rest of the Vintage Point article, and that brings us to the end of this week's issue! Check back next week for Sept/Oct 1999.
