Title: My Very First Rehair/Restore!
Post by: PurpleCheeseStick on July 27, 2013, 02:34:41 PM
Well this took me forever to do, mainly because I put off sitting down for hours with a needle and hanks of hair cause... I didn't want to sit down for hours with a needle and hanks of hair. BUT I finally got her done; Rosedust was one of my most wanted G1 ponies and my favorite flutter pony. I got her from a family friend whose children had long since grown up and moved on, leaving their old VERY WELL PLAYED WITH ponies behind. I got a whole small lot, but Rosedust was easily one of the worst of them all.

She was completely covered in what I'm assuming to be red nailpolish which spanned over her whole body over her symbols and her eye paint. She was missing her wings (of course) with the tabs still stuck inside the holes where they'd been ripped off. She'd received major haircuts and dread locks, and to top it all off she was covered in a layer of grime and dingey dirt.

BUT... After much work she's finally been restored to her former glory, and so without further ado, here she is :D

The nail polish was removed with acetone, dirt washed away with a magic eraser and inner rust cleaned out with Oxy Clean. She's been rehaired in Dollyhair's "Pussycat".
I'm just so stupidly happy that she's done, and I know my activity on here is spotty at best but I wanted to share her anyways  :cry:

She looks great! You did an awesome job :) If it wasn't for the "before" pictures I never would've guessed that she was in such terrible condition before :)

Thanks Mikeysgrrrl! I'm certainly glad I did remember to take before pictures, most of the time I forget to do that until it's too late and I've already started a project.  >_<

:lol: She probably sat around on my desk, bodyless for almost a year before I finally rehaired her. Time actually kind of flies once you sit down and start doing it!  :blink: You can do it!  :frolic:
