Some of you may remember that last year I made my husband a Serenity Custom for Christmas (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/lizstaley/Custom%20Ponies/Serenity/001.jpg). Well he decided that I HAD to do more of his favorite ships for him, and this was the one he wanted next. It was supposed to be a birthday present for him in April, but it ended up taking me all year to complete and I gave it to him after Christmas this year.

I don't even remember what pony she started out as, but oh boy was she baity. I had to patch some chew marks in her face! She got some wire and aluminum foil bases for the sculpting and then was sculpted, sanded, and carved as best as I could do with my mediocre sculpting skills.

Her flight pods on both sides do actually say "Galactica" on them. Really hard to see...

NDS. She will stand on her own, sorta, but she has a tendency to fall over if you bump anywhere near her, so I made her a base. To attach her to the base I cut an X in the bottom of her hooves that are on the ground, marked where they fell on the base, put screws in the top of the base and then slipped the heads of the screws through the cuts on the bottoms of her hooves. This way she's actually removable from the base with a little wiggling!

Painting her was a pain. I can't even remember all the different colors I used on her, but it was probably at least half a dozen or more.

She certainly is a Grand Old Lady!
The next ship pony he wants in Enterprise D! Oh dear...

LOL I got that a ton on my Serenity custom last year too. It's definitely interesting trying to take a pony and turn it in to a spaceship.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
