Customs / Golden Morning - Masquerade pony for WeepingPiano!
« on: October 03, 2012, 04:53:08 PM »
This is Golden Morning, WeepingPiano's Masquerade pony!
WP said she wanted a pony based off the masquerade scene from the Jim Henson's the Labyrinth. Her chosen colours were white, red or black, so I went for white with red and gold acccents. The mask was the first thing I've ever sculpted, hah! It didn't come out perfect, but the slightly rough look suited the goblin Labyrinth style it was based on anyway! Phew! She was painted in acrylics, with gold gradients and a ribbon look up her legs. It's hard to se in photos, but she also has a pearly red iridescent sheen to her body. I gave her swarovski crystal accents around her symbol and eyes. Her hair was a mixture of about 4 Dollyhair whites, with a small amount of Sunlight through it, and her hairstyle also has swarovski crystals, swarovski pearls, a brass flower/leaf adornment and, if you look closely, you'll see the goblin king's, uh, balls.
...
Moving on.
I was calling her Golden Morning since WP said she particularly loved the line "I'll paint you mornings of gold, I'll spin you valentine evenings." from the song "As the World Falls Down" from the Labyrinth ball scene.

I'm glad you like her, WP! And much relieved she arrived in one piece!  :)

So, here she is!

Customs / Truly pose bait wanted
« on: October 03, 2012, 04:14:03 PM »
I'm looking for a bait in Truly's pose - so either Truly, Magic Star, or Skippity Doo. I'm kind of fussy about my G1 baits, so pretty much the worse condition, the better - as long as there's no missing vinyl, chew marks etc. Anything else goes, age spots, regrind, pen, no hair, whatever!
Thanks!

Pony Corral / When you list an item on ebay and it doesn't sell...
« on: October 02, 2012, 04:19:47 PM »
So, you've got a pony listed on ebay. You currently have it listed for approximately two or even three times what it's worth, and what other recent sales have sold for.
Your pony doesn't sell. You must be so surprised!
Do you:
a. list it again for the same price
b. list it again for a lower price
or
c. list it again, for one and a half times the price you had it listed for earlier! Yeah! That'll work!
 -_-

...some ebay sellers truly baffle me.

Pony Corral / Wingers - Hong Kong vs China
« on: September 30, 2012, 05:06:42 PM »
So I just noticed that I most of my wingers are made in China, but I have a Buzzer who was made in Hong Kong. Is there any significant difference?
Hong Kong is a darker colour than China, and her symbols seem slightly bigger and a little less opaque.

Customs / G1 Rainbow Dash
« on: September 17, 2012, 05:48:33 PM »
I just finished my G1 Rainbow Dash - well, I pretty much finished her months ago, but I had to wait for a hair shipment.

Bait was a very sad symbol-less, hairless, pindotty and marker stained Firefly. She was given a full body repaint in blue acrylic. Eyes and symbols were also painted in acrylics, and sealed with glossy modge podge. Hair is a rainbow of nylon in Cherry Pie, Nectarine, Golden Delicious, Envy, Bobby Blue and Sour Grapes.

Question, though: how should I style her hair? ( I tried show accurate-ish - it didn't work. :P)

MLP Nirvana / Frustrated
« on: September 16, 2012, 04:53:05 PM »
It seems at the moment that I can't win any of the nirvanas I want that are on ebay! This morning I got outbid by two people in the last TWO SECONDS of the auction. Argh!

It feels like it's not about how much you'll pay, but whoever manages to sneak in at the last second - and as much as I dislike last second bids, if so many other people are doing it, it doesn't leave anyone who wants to win with much choice but to do the same.

I'm sure my bank account's pleased I didn't win, but I'm not!  :P

What Nirvanas have you just missed out on lately?

Customs / Apoxie Sculpt questions
« on: September 09, 2012, 04:00:26 PM »
So I have a few apoxie questions. First, how much do you estimate you'd using doing either 2 simple G1 MGR ponies, or one complex one?
Second, where do you get your apoxie from, and how much do you pay? There only seems to be a few places that sell in here, and it's not cheap - about $50 for 2oz. Is that unreasonable?

Thanks!

Pony Corral / Ponies who went for more than you expected
« on: September 07, 2012, 09:18:58 PM »
I just missed a Dream Beauty on Ebay who went for $60! Dammit, that's about $35 over what I thought she'd go for, and $20 over what I bid. :(

Who have you wanted lately that's gone for more than you thought?

Pony Corral / Whitening discoloured hard plastic - Dream Beauties
« on: August 31, 2012, 02:45:32 AM »
Does anyone have any ideas on whitening severely discoloured hard white plastic? I have a very yellow Sky Splasher Dream Beauty - I assume sunfading will only make it worse rather than better. If there's no reliable way, I'm going to try and steal her mane and tail for my other Sky Splasher, who is white but has a bad mane/tail trim. But other than the discolouration, this one's in good nick, so I'd love to try and get her looking better first!
