My First tutorial! How to Re-Tail a BnG Pony

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

I've now done my very first tutorial video. Please let me know what you all think, and if there's anything else you'd like me to go over on it as well :3 I have some pictures I can add to this page too if you want more visual references.

This is also a sneak peek at my latest custom project :3

Also please feel free to browse around my website, I just put it up a week or so ago and I'd very much love to know what you all think and if any of you have suggestions as well :3

here is a link to the video on my website :3

Your custom pony is so cute! What's his name?

The tutorial seemed easy-to-follow once you watch it through. I only got tripped up when you put the mechanism back in the body (which way to face the hole), but you addressed that later (where I see it should be facing up, with the middle groove facing up too). My only "disappointment" was that we didn't get to see it in action at the end.  All-in-all, I enjoyed it! And you have a nice voice.

  thanks i've never liked my voice

I haven't been able to think of a name for him yet sadly.

And I was going to show the action but it was very hard to see

I also discovered that his tail is longer or thicker than normal bng ponies cause it doesnt get as short llol

I'll add in some pictures to clarify positioning

Clicked, bookmarked because i have two who desperately need new tails and have been waiting FOR EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR for this! THANKS! (I hope I can follow it, not watched yet, my 4YO is watching MH on my pc lol) <3 Also yeah, cute voice!

I'll have to watch it later, not that it will help me right now xD The BnG I have I ended up breaking her thing a long time ago.... I wonder if I can replace it... hmm

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

Do you know how it is broken sd? I was able to repair one that no longer worked before. I could give yours a shot if you would like

Looks good but your lighting throws shadows when you need to not have shadows.  Might need to play with that.

Ah what is going on in the background after you have it together?  It is a rather loud back ground noise.

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

I have poor lighting in my apartment sadly

and that noise would be my furnace -.- it's very loud and kicks on at random

The tabs in the top are completely broken, I might be able to fix it but I don't know since I cannot find the tabs now

which tabs? the ones on the little cap? or is it something inside?

On the little cap at the top

the ones that hold it onto the rest of the mechanism?

I believe you called them prongs in the beginning of the video

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

yes I believe I did

hmm... I could see how that would be a problem. If you could find the tabs it might be repairable.. but I think replacing the cap would be the quickest solution if you can find someone with a spare mechanism
