Title: Spanish NC Pinwheel, symbol repaint?
Post by: Tiara546 on March 17, 2017, 02:54:21 AM

Just got a pony in which looks odd to me, it looks like the symbols were repainted but would like to know what you think before dropping the seller a line. The symbols on NC Pinwheel all look different both in the Nirvana Gallery as well as the wiki.
Your opinion? ^_^

The DS symbol looks to have the upper two pinwheels' golden part still original, the rest repainted:

There is a metallic version of her and a glitter version of her :)

Your pony's symbols look like the metallic paint version and from what I can see look very much like those of MOC Pinwheel.

There is always the chance that she has been repainted at some point :( however it is worth remembering that most of the NC/Spain ponies do seem to be almost one of a kind. I have seen many slight variations of each pony.

Thank you pkw, I already stumbled upon that picture but it is just too small to really tell... :-/
Still, your comment about OOAK versions is helpful already. But the two upper pinwheels on display side look much more accurate and "factory" than the rest, is such variation on a single pony really that usual?

I can see what you mean about the top pinwheels looking factory and the bottom two looking more hand finished.

I checked my own Pinwheel, but she's got glittery symbols.

I'm hoping others might be able to share pictures of their ponies so we can compare.

I think it's not repainted. More than the metallic paint is coming off in some parts. Very normal with the metallic symbols. ^^

ETA: Oh wait.. I hadn't seen the fourth photo...  :wonder:
