Hi!
I've ALWAYS wanted to custom a style size G4, I've always loved them.. everything except the wings of pegasus xD.
I was SURE that I saw a tutorial on how to cut down their wings to look more like the normal smaller counterparts.
Or maybe it was just a post that someone made showing their process? Anyway if anyone knows what I'm talking about, and where this post is, I would love to look at that again!
Meanwhile Ill just continue my search. :p
Thanks!
So I decided to just go for it, it really wasnt so hard after all, apart from me not having nearly the right tools for the job lol. I think this would go so much easier with an X-Acto and a dremel, or at least thinner bits of sandpaper.
So here is our poor victim, Sorry Fluttershy. :c
