Hi ! Lovely restoration, she looks so much nicer now. Congrats. =)Yessss. I loved your cotton candy restoration when I first saw it posted. Such delicious eye candy! I hadn’t seen your other ones though! Thanks!!
If you want to see restorations, here's this thread : http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,388848.0.html
And since I love restorations too, I've documented this 23 pics step by step restoration process : https://imgur.com/a/tmxv5
AND there's a bunch of "before/after" or WIP pics of my ponies on my own collection thread : http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,389656.0.html
And as a bonus, I've cleaned up bits of the Paradise Estate I recently found in a flea market. =D http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,389917.15.html
Hope you'll have your dose of satisfaction, have a great day !

Ditto with Safflower and KottonKandy, I really don't like tons of pics out of spoilers for the technical and practical reasons mentioned above. I simply don't go to overloaded topics anymore and that's sad because I miss some interesting ones. Since I do know old computers and weak bandwidth exist, I think about others and put all my pics in spoilers. If it's not, that's because it's a single and small one in the whole topic, it does no harm.
I think these two are still my favourites. :D
The damage was minor, but I'm happy with it! This was my first experience with deep "maim" on the body of a pony.she looks great! what is "Maim"?

she looks great! what is "Maim"?A permanent wound or injury, often the infliction of. The lion maimed the zebra grievously.
oh, I misread what she had said, I thought it was some new "process" LOL ---duh! :blush:she looks great! what is "Maim"?A permanent wound or injury, often the infliction of. The lion maimed the zebra grievously.
I'm really bad at documenting mine but here's a coupleWhoa. Isn’t that SS Gusty?!? I had no idea that sunfading would work on SS! To be quite honest, I don’t know much about sunfading in general. I have a few who could benefit but I’ve always been too spooked to try it. :blush:

And how difficult is it to rehair rainbow (or any multi-color) ponies? I’ve not had one come to me yet that needed it and I’m completely baffled as to how one goes about it. Is there a way to tell how many plugs in the mane gets each color? Or do you just count/eye it from the remaining hair you’re replacing? And is there a rule on separating the colors for the tail? Or not?
Anyways, I am humbled and impressed with your restoration skills! You do all the things I’ve been too scared to do lol! :biggrin:
Ahh, that’s really clever to take a pic beforehand of the mane. I can be kinda ditzy at times so I probably would’ve removed all the hair then be completely dumbfounded on what to do. :blush:Whoa.

Thank you! I didn't know if it would work either since everyone says it's the glue that is yellowed and won't sun fade but Paradise whitened so well I decided to give it a try. I don't get great sun light here in Canadian winters so she sat in a window being rotated for at least 6 months. She could still go a little whiter but I was impatient and she turned out really nice compared to her before.
For the hair placement of multiple colors I trim any remaining hair as short as possible and take a photo so I can count the plugs when I rehair. For the tail I try not to mix up the colors too much. I take an equal amount of each color and pretty much layer them in the order they look the best to me. If I want a certain color to be more dominant that goes on top.
Thank you so much for the compliments! I need to get better on my hair cutting skills so for now I've left the manes longer. It just takes practice and experimenting. Start off with a pony that is bad enough that it won't matter if you mess up. :)
Hopefully this works - I also haven’t posted pics since the Photobucket days...Goodness, she looks amazing! I wish we had good enough sun in the UK to perform sunfading. Or at least, where I live. I can't believe how different she looksSpoiler
Sunfading is amazing :)
