AnnaPommes and I discussed a private custom swap many years ago but it wasn't until last autumn we agreed to finally do something about it! Anna already sent me a gorgeous pony earlier this spring, and I was finally able to complete my half of the trade, although I have yet to ship her to her new owner.  

Meet Sunny Bunny, inspired by the G1 merry-go-round ponies!

I was originally planning to do a pastel yellow pony with yellow hair, but after coming up with the carousel idea and deciding on the bait to use - a core pose Rainbow Dash - I thought I would keep the blue body. She had some highlighter marks which were not covered by the sculptwork so I gave her a full body repaint. All sculpting was done with Apoxie Sculpt. I think my apoxie (and my sealant likewise...) may be past its best before date, haha. It begins to cure very quickly so I must work fast. The results aren't quite as neat as I would like but it was good practice and I'm pretty happy with the overall look of my first MGR pony! I'm much more confident when it comes to painting. Sculpting is fun but painting tiny details makes my heart sing.

The pony was rehaired with Lemonade, Gingerbread and something which I though was Caramel Cream but was probably a blend of two colours in a mislabelled bag... I managed to use up some of my old stock!

Her head still turns and I love how poseable she is.

Ooo!  She's gorgeous!  I love her color scheme and the tiny carrot details on her trappings.
