Customs / When you do an alt. gen custom...
« on: February 21, 2012, 04:02:54 PM »
I'm curious. For those of you that have made customs on alternate generation baits, for example G1 to G4:


Do you keep everything about the original pony - including the eye style/blush/hair style - or do you take the style of the bait and just keep the colours and symbol?


I'm doing some G1 to G2 customs at the moment. I'm planning to use the colours and symbols only - eyes will be an attempt at G2 style and the wings are sculpted so not matching any generation.

Pony Corral / Your biggest splurge..
« on: February 21, 2012, 12:44:16 PM »
I'm curious - what item in your pony collection cost the most? You don't have to share how much it was unless you want to but feel free to include pictures. ;)


For me, it's a custom by LoveLauraLand - [size=78%]http://lovelauraland.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=72#/d2jo4sh[/size]


One of those "I have got to have this" moments where I put her in my favourites and if she was still available when I had the funds then it was meant to be, but I caved and asked whether LoveLauraLand would take split payments and she is now mine.

Customs / Substitutes for Modelling Mesh
« on: February 13, 2012, 12:20:44 PM »
Are there a good substitute? I wish to sculpt feathered wings if that helps, so I thought that it would make an ideal base for the feathers. If I sculpt apoxie wings onto apoxie-flat-wings I think that it would end up very thick.


Mine looks like it might arrive too late for me, but I'm a bit skint to buy some elsewhere as it's a £10 jump in price for a larger quantity (my seller was doing individual sheets).

Argh!


I bought some modelling mesh on ebay so that I can make some wings. I did a BIN but it wouldn't let me pay. I tried twice yesterday a few hours apart, but was getting an error message saying that the seller's PayPal was unable to accept the transaction. I never got as far as logging in to PayPal. I sent the seller a message last night saying that I wasn't able to pay and did they have any suggestions.


Today, still not working. I didn't pick up a message from the seller as I was at work, but on my phone I tried to pay again and nothing. I did however notice that it now says the seller is away until March 2nd.


I've just checked now that I'm home and the seller replied to my email. They have said:


Quote
Hello,Paypal are running some routine security checks at the moment and so have put our account on hold. We are hoping to resolve this matter as soon as possible so you can fulfil your payment.We hope this hasn't caused any problems.



Well it is a bit because I was hoping to have the stuff this week; I want to get cracking with these customs. I'm glad that they got back to me, but a bit concerned because I've never heard of PayPal putting a hold on accounts accepting incoming transactions before for routine security checks!


Seller has good feedback - 99.4%, link here -
[size=78%]http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/thest0recupb0ard/?_trksid=p4340.l2559[/size]


In two minds about what to do, any advice? It's only a £3.00 transaction so right now I'm more bothered about not getting the mesh in a timely fashion but to buy elsewhere I have to get larger quantities circa £12.

Pony Corral / Conversation
« on: February 05, 2012, 02:59:23 PM »

I am Katie and Om is my other half. ;)




Katie says:
 You know when we get a house
 Can I have one of these?
 http://mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=230867/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=0.html
Om says:
 *palace
Katie says:
 Maybe not in the first one, well if it's a palace then there will be room
Om says:
 I dunno....
 This person was patient and kept all her stuff in boxes
 Or most of them...
Katie says:
 Where is this leading?
Om says:
 flipping hell it keeps going
Katie says:
 I don't think that I'd ever have a collection that big
 I'd want a really big cabinet with glass doors for my customs though
Om says:
 It's going "You keep taking yours out of the box"
 But yes. Glass cabinet.
Katie says:
 What does me deboxing my ponies have to do with whether I can have the room?
Om says:
 Well. You know. It'd be totally worth it if they were all mint in packaging.
 But if they're -out- of packaging... a whole room seems a bit much!
 They don't deserve the whole thing *nods*
Katie says:
 Err no
 I have this vision of my perfect pony space!
 It's one big room but there's like an archway which would separate my customising area from the display, just so they don't get all mucky
 I'd have to have a working sink etc in the customising area and a lot of work space, plus massive amounts of storage
 Then all my ponies would live in the other part of the room
 On nicely lit shelves with a lot of space so they aren't all crammed in
 And I'd have a huge cabinet
 Probably the size of my book case
 With glass doors to display customs
 And I'd have lots of room in there and a sofa and stuff so that I could have pony friends round!
 And there'd be black out blinds and stuff to stop the sunlight damaging my ponies, and a dehumidifier thing
Om says:
 Uh-huh.
Katie says:
 I have it all planned 
 mostly I'd like to keep them contained in one room
 As I'm sure you would too
Om says:
 Could we have it so the door is hidden to the outside viewer
Katie says:
 I'm pretty sure that when we first move in together I won't be able to bring them all anyway
 Yes
 With a lock on it
 When we have children I do not want them getting their hands on my ponies or worse, my craft knives etc
 It'd be the attic or something that we just use for "storage" 
Om says:
 I like how you remembered to put knives above ponies there.
Katie says:
 It was a conscious decision
 Instinct told me to put it the other way around
 Self preservation - i.e. the knowledge that you would disapprove - told me to change it
Om says:
 Actually I probably wouldn't have paid attention. 
Katie says:
 Bet you would!
 But too late to test that theory now 
 I'm sure that when it came to it I would be more concerned about kids getting their hands on the knives etc than the ponies
 OMG
Om says:
 oh dear
Katie says:
 What if they got their hands on scissors and the ponies?!
 Definitely need to lock the door!
Om says:
 you'd get the joy of rehairing them all

Pony Corral / Going through my posts on the archived forum...
« on: February 04, 2012, 10:33:59 AM »
I need to update my customs blog which means adding in all the ones I haven't blogged about, so I've gone back to the archived forum to 2009 when I first started customising. As well as the customs, I've seen some of my old posts. And I quote:


Quote
I don't collect G3s


Quote
I only really collect G1s


Quote
My new found love for G2s


I now have collections of G1, G2, G3 and G4! I even have the makings of a G3 army  :drunk:


Has anybody else changed their collecting habits over the years?

Customs / G3 body colour match for G1 Beach Ball
« on: February 01, 2012, 01:32:56 PM »
Is there a G3 (earth or Uni) that has a similar body colour to G1 Beachball? My collection of G3s is too small to tell! :)
