More shed finds (edit:cleanup picks)

[vinzydesigns]

I found a bunch of old ponies, covered in grime, in my shed.

I am kinda sad that as a child i wrote on them, and cut thier hair, but, i was a kid.

 Gusty (I think) doesnt stand right but I dont care, I will keep her as a personal collection pony.

These will be washed, rewashed, washed again, and scrubbed, hopefully, I can fix them up. I know I may not be able to save them all, but I plan on trying.

One cleanup pic so far, still have some to go

Thanks! I am uber excited about this! I figure they could ALL be restored with careful painting

Oh wow congratulations! I know, I treated my ponies pretty roughly as a child too lol but boy didn't you have fun at the time! I read in a tutorial that putting boiling water in ponies helps them stand right, I did it on some of mine that wouldn't stand and had dents, and it worked!

Congrats!

You might not have to repaint.. try sunfading first. Take the pony, cover everything but the pen area, and pop it in a sunny window. Use something like tin foil, and wrap the pony, covering symbols, eyes and hair. It can work wonders, it just takes time~

[vinzydesigns]

Oh cool, I'll try that asap!

Congrats on digging out your old ponies!  It looks like they're cleaning up pretty nicely

That's what I was just about to say!    Sunfading might be able to take care of the pen marks without you having to resort to paint at all!
