Hello :)
« on: March 30, 2014, 04:44:54 PM »
I want to start collecting and restoring ponies because I always thought the vintage ones were so cute and pretty as a kid but I was never really allowed to have them :(
I was wondering.. what are your thoughts on enhancing them? Like both restoring and customing.. Say adding some pearl hues to a white pony, giving it's cutie mark glitter to match the current shades, things like that?
Anyway, that's the main reason I joined to figure that out..
I'm really new to all this, but I'm 25 so I remember the vintage ponies and honestly I feel like it's a part of our generation's childhood that should be preserved. So I'm ordering a bunch of them to clean and beautify.. they are Glory, Majesty, Swirlypop, Moondancer, Stardasher, Cherry Blossom, and 2nd set TAF Wysteria. I think. Lol I just went with the ones that I liked best and wouldn't be too hard to restore because none are too "baity." They have tail rust and stuff that looks pretty basic and no rehairing issues or anything.
So yah lol Hi nice to meet you and thanks for accepting my request.

Hi MidnightViolet :wave:

I am all for enhancing or customizing a pony, so long as it is really run-down and not a rare or htf one.  There are heaps of tips and tutorials in the Custom forum to help you get started.  I hope you enjoy the Arena and decide to stick around and get to know us all :frolic:
