Lookit those little suckers!  So adorable!

[Mirnyj]

Oh you are quick!  Looks fabulous so far!

[Sarahlacewing]

Ooo looks good!

[Sukeile]

Thank you so much! I used a pencil on the suckers, like Sarahlacewing suggested, worked like a charm!

[NoDivision]

I am in love with this pony already!

[Shenanigans]

Wow, she looks awesome so far!

[Uninu]

This pony will be gorgeous, I can tell already!

[FluffleNuff]

Really looks like she is coming along well! Good work!

[achab1984]

That is coming along really good!

[Sukeile]

Thank you so much again! I am actually surprised because I was sure I would have messed it up somehow by now, haha
Well I still have the painting still to go, I'm really looking forward to that part!

Awesome work hun!!! Have you read about cutting a V shape out of the plastic on the neck plug? It makes it easier to get the head back onto the body and you don't have to manhandle and squish the head to get it in. I almost always need to be kinda rough to get them together if I don't make the V cut. It was just a thought since you do have clay on the head, I'd hate for it to pop off at this stage.

Haha, the clay did pop off when I reattached the head
Thankfully it is intact so I think I shall just glue it back on after painting.

But this is really good advice that I will remember for the future!

Just remember you should glue any pieces on before you paint a lot.  The logic is that you should be gluing to the pony and not to the topcoat of paint.  If you glue things on to several layers of paint they are more likely to fall off again and take the paint with them since the clay is bonded to the paint layer.  But if you glue so that the sculpting is adhering straight to the pony there is less risk of this happening.  Does that make sense? I don't know if I am explaining it well.

Oh, that makes sense! I hope I did not paint too much all ready
I only put a light layer of paint on, do you think it might still be okay?

I better glue it on now before I go any further, thank you for your advice again Sarah, it is most helpful!
