What about Slugger? There is more than one blue and more than one yellow around. E.g. maybe sunset yellow rather than lemon? Will make froggy green? Idk. Also, Slugger often has cancer but cleaning and drying a pony can stabilise plastic breakdown for a few years so that might increase your options.

Only not Slugger! I meant the American Football one lol. He's blue  :blush:

Quarterback! Also has the curly hair. I also noticed that 4-speed is lighter blue so might be better if you want to re-hair in the yellow as well. Personally I would wait around for a full bait of either of those.
I think for dying it's easier to go from light>dark, afaik it's nearly impossible to go dark>light. Leapers kind of a yellowy green so I think quarterback with yellow dye would end up too dark. Maybe not though 🤷

Is there a reason you can't use paint?

I agree that Pepper Jack is too green for Leaper. Plus Tex has that pose with his hoof turned, like Leaper.

What did you use when you've dyed in the past? I've only ever used powdered RIT. I did get a couple bad results but most were successful and the dye is still stable after 10+ years. I hear RIT Dyemore is much better for plastics though but I don't think they have the same range of colors as the powder.

I could paint, but I prefer the most "natural" factory look possible. I've had some success with airbrushing ponies before, but I worry about getting a consistent color all over, ponies have a few awkward nooks and crannies. I think I used the liquid RIT dye in the past, they always sorta come out grungy and dingy looking.

Hi all, I'm working on starting the next part of my little-brothers-grown-up project, and I would like to do Leaper. Obviously there's no green big brothers already available, so I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on options for modifying a base. I see one of two options:
1. Get a bait Tex (or white blank from HQG1C when available...) and dye.
2. Get a pepper jack from HQG1C and use that.

Obviously even finding the nastiest bait Tex will still cost me. But I worry that  pepper jack is simply TOO green. I also am *not* confident in my dying skills... I've not had very much success with it in the past. Pepper jack vs. Leaper for comparison. Opinions?

I collect lots of stuff. Biggest contender to the ponies is my glass collection, my mom and I both collect vintage glass. She prefers Early American Pattern Glass, and I prefer depression era glass. I also specialize in covered candy dishes shaped like chickens! :silly:

« on: July 16, 2020, 02:35:32 AM »
I've seen this article circulate a lot, but I think in reality it doesn't change your sign that you were born under. And Ophiuchus isn't a new constellation at all. Its the name for the larger constellation that Serpens is apart of. The constellations themselves are not the same as the signs. The constellations are all different sizes- virgo being the largest- but the signs are all the same amount of time, or 30° of the sky, about 30 days.

this chart is a great visual, you can see Ophiuchus poking its head in between Scorpio and sagg. The sun crosses Ophiuchus for a short amount of time, but it doesn't pass through the whole constellation, and anyways it would disrupt the neat division of the other zodiacs. Additionally, the sun's path through the zodiacs HAS changed, but not because of some "new" constellation. But because of the earth moving away from the sun, the equinoxes change. We're in the age of pices right now, but 2000 years ago it was the age of Ares, and the zodiacs were actually one month behind. In like, 2060 or something it'll be the age of aquarius. And our zodiacs will be two months behind the age of Ares. So, if we were like, Babylonians, I would be a libra. But I'm not a Babylonian. So I'm a Scorpio. Whatever date you were born dictates what you are, it won't ever "change".
So don't fret. Youre still an Aries through and through :+)

TLDR; I didn't mean to type so much 😂 basically it hasn't changed, don't panic. If you want to think about what it could've been, just go back one month..congrats you're a Babylonian !
