Title: Removing horn from G4 unicorn head
Post by: SunPony on September 12, 2020, 08:15:18 AM

I have a regular brushable g4 unicorn bait, and I was wondering if it is possible to remove the horn and still have the head look decent.  Maybe I could extend the hair line over the horn area?  Or can it be sanded flat with the very fine-grit sandpaper? Have you ever done this and how did it turn out?
Thanks!

I think I've seen a few customizers will make a v-shaped hairline to cover where the horn is chopped off!
I should have some earth pony baits laying around if you're willing to trade should the task be too daunting, but I've seen people do it!

I've done that. I've cut the horn, sanded the forehead to make it flush witht the rest of the body and then painted my custom. You really have to closely look to notice anything.
This custom was originally a Rarity.

Thanks for your help!  I went "a-head" with it, thanks to your thoughts, and lopped it off!  I'm making a Cranberry Muffins from a Lyra Heartstrings body, so I wanted to avoid a fbr.  It looks like the horn area cleaned up well enough that with some hair over most of the area it won't be really noticeable.
