Title: How to go about maing a moomin custom pony?
Post by: kingluke on October 17, 2019, 12:38:18 PM: Hey everyone,

I recently got a bait lot of g1 and g3 ponies and want to do a moomintroll pony custom.
There are several options to go about it but i'm not sure which is the right choice. I would love your advise on this.

this is a moonin in case you don't know what they look like: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1364&bih=661&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACYBGNQoadwbgVJVWcs99eLoZm1gy0SnFA%3A1571340896837&sa=1&ei=YMKoXY7fMo7XwQKfhoroCQ&q=moomin+and+snufkin&oq=moomin+and+snufkin&gs_l=img.3..35i39j0j0i30l6j0i10i30j0i8i30.15860.15860..16197...0.0..0.119.119.0j1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.MumZD7_fEnU&ved=0ahUKEwiOj-j_hKTlAhWOa1AKHR-DAp0Q4dUDCAc&uact=5#imgrc=b0Tne-_5RnMgtM:Here are my ideas:

1: A g1 pony with sculpted moomin ears/tail. No hair and completely white. So basically a moomin/pony hybrid if you will.
2: A moomin themed pony. Like a regular pony with moomins and stuff painted on, almost like the pony is a blank canvas.
3: a takara fakie moomin custom. It has the same aspects and ideas of the first one but has the correct body shape. However, I don't have a takara fakie and the are expensive/hard to come by.

Any ideas on how to go about this?

I would love to hear more.

Also I love snufkin. Just wanted to get that out there :)

Thanks,

Luke

Perhaps make a cast in resin of the Takara fakie then modify it :)

Love pkw xx

I found some ideas you might like on google for mlp moomin customs as well

I'm a huge moomins fan too and would love to see if you make the custom
