Nate's Restoration/Spa Thread (image heavy)

[Draikinator]

I'm taking the ol' bandages off a bunch of horses today and I had the foresight to take some before and after photos. :3c i'm really excited to share! When I was a child I was not allowed to have my little ponies and as an adult my favourite pastime is to collect old, ratty, bait-level or trash-level ponies from flea market bins and yard sale boxes, loved quite heavily at a time I might have loved them and to restore them to the most beautiful condition I can. I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows the feeling. <3 Anyway I wanted to share!!

This one was special. My boyfriend's parents basement is a huge mess and I was helping him clean it out and put stuff out on the lawn for a yard sale, and we found this in a milk crate. He says it was probably one of his sister's, but they moved out 15 years ago and he let me have it. I'm VERY proud of the work I did on her.

Gosh, what a fun one. SO many straws lol. The photos dont do her justice, her curls are SO soft and fluffy

I've got some more to take photos of later, once they've had a little more time to set. :3c

I love seeing Before and After's of really filthy ponies, it is so satisfying to see them all clean and sparkly after a bath! Great work on the Glory
