How do you make those awesome wings for the wingers!? Or are they originals? They look amazing either way:)

They are not original I made the templates from originals though. They were done with transparency sheets

She was done for a friend of mine but she said the hair didn't stay tamed after a certain amount of time

Most of the stains were removed with Oxyclean, sunfading and soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide. I repainted her symbols and gave her a new mane and tail.


And this reminds me, I still have to finish the rest of the ponies that I found with Scoops. ^_^;

My mind can't even comprehend this transformation, what an improvement! 

[butterflybuttons]

Wow!!! There are some fantastic restorations!!!

[rybett]

Agree, what did you do to Sunribbon?  WOW!

[butterflybuttons]

Here is a bump with one sad girl.

Major hair cut, missing ear and foot, yellowed, and teeth marks all over.

I sunfaded her, gave her a new mane, I was able to salvage the tail. She had her holes filled in with a custom blended white sculpy, and a new ear and foot sculpted.

Wow BFB! The ear sculpt looks perfect!

[TexasGal]

I am so stalking this thread.  I should have a few restores of my own soon.

*o* that first one i can not even understand! do you mind sharing how you did it?

Lots of work, lol. Basic clean up and sunfading is mostly what I did, plus repainting the eyes and symbols... and rehair. Honestly it's been so long since I did her I kind of forgot

On another note I have one more now that I'm proud of! Some of you have seen her before but she's getting posted here again
