They measure only 2cm tall~!

I've recently re-worked my mould, so Applejack is a little bulkier than the rest. But I'm super glad I managed to make her hat!

If you're interested, you can check out my Etsy store where they're on sale. (http://'https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TimataeTrinkets?section_id=12967724')

Or individually-

Twilight Sparkle - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/205927707
Applejack- https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/205917672
Rarity- https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/205927707/
Fluttershy - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/205918096
Zecora- https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/205931281/
Lyra and Bonbon as a discounted couple! - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/166745639

I also take custom orders! Although I do plan to get the main 6 finished and sold as a group on a sculpted background, but I'm in my 3rd year of uni at the moment so that might not be viable..

But I am looking at working out how to make the princesses next!

Here's a pic of Celestia and Rainbow Dash, before painting, with blind bag Twilight to give you an idea of their tiny scale!

I love her super curly hair <3
Also, trying to imagine some ponies hair in a 3D way is crazy. I find Pinkie Pie the hardest to do! For some reason she never looks quite right..

Would you make a tiny discord and celestia together?  :blush:

So cute <3 you should also make them as earrings, and keychains <3 <3 <3

Oooh my gosh Saphraira, that is such a good ideaaaaa! That is going to be my next miniature pony project, eee!

Rainfeather, I plan on making them into earrings and maybe necklaces! My only problem is, whilst Zecora would be quite safe as she has no big, sticking out/fragile parts, a pegasus like fluttershy I'd not be able to. I'll have to do some redesigns. But I definitely want to try it!

Pony Queen - You have my Mother to thank for that! She has her own business in miniatures, and encouraged me to sculpt animals that were in scale with her dolls houses! From there the only logical step was to move onto ponies! Hehe!
The ones I sculpt are in size for 1/12th scale houses. (You have to pretend they're as big as G1 ponies though, I can't sculpt small enough to replicate a G4 x_x )

Quick edit to add a wip of the princess pony pose! and my first test of how I'll make them into necklaces! (Photo not yet on tumblr! MLParena exclusive ;D :freak: )

I just fav'd your Etsy shop.  I would love to get some teenie little ponies for some of my smaller dolls.  :)  I could take such cute pics!!  :D

I loooooove miniatures! My old pony room had two dollhouses in it. I even tried making miniature clay ponies like yours many years ago... I never finished one, I started making foods instead... In fact I need to post pics of my dollhouse set up in Calico Critters thread...

anyhow, yeah, love your miniatures! Will def need to add one sooner or later, but which one!! lol!

Quick note to say I've made a mould of the princess pose,  but I'm on my phone so you'll have to check it out at the tumblr link on the previous page!

Pony queen - I think I attempted to learn how to make food, but the nuances of coloured fimo was too much for me! I much prefer to sculpt then colour, mostly because I always seem to dirty the colours or blend them where I don't want them!

Took a short break from Celestia to make a quick test for the necklaces. Because they'll be 'used' a lot more than the figurines,  they have to be more durable,  so I wanted to take one that I can wear for a week or so to see if anything needs adjusting.

I'm going to try and upload a photo for luna, but I'm on my phone so it might go horrifically wrong, if so my facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TimataeTrinkets) has the photo up so check it out there! (And maybe give me a like? :3 )

And thank you all!
Ponyqueen - I actually made molds of the wings because I didn't think I'd ever be able to sculpt them that well again, lol!

Thank you all for your lovely comments! I'll admit I haven't been able to finish Celestia and Rainbow Dash just yet - I'm in my final year of Uni and have a month left until my deadline. Which seems like a lot until I realise I have to finish 12 full spread illustrations, aah!

Palais - Thank you for the follow! <3
Storm runner - I am available for commissions, just give me a shout any time ;]
