Customs / Gauging Interest: Music Interpretation/Appreciation Swap?
« on: March 05, 2013, 02:13:52 PM »
This would be a swap where we list our top 5 (or 10; either one) favorite songs and then the partner listens to them, chooses a favorite, and then customizes the pony based on what he/she felt or experienced when listening to it.  What color, or what imagery comes to mind?  Put it on the pony.  Got a favorite lyric?  Incorporate it somewhere into the pony.  That kind of thing...

It might be a bit tricky since everyone has different tastes in music, but it would be a great way to share opinions and ideas, and appreciate music better as an art form.

Someone else might have to host it, since I don't meet the requirements for hosting yet.

Let me know what you think though.  And don't be afraid to tell me this is a bad idea, 'cause even I'm a bit uncertain of it. :blush:

Pony Corral / What is/are your favorite color combo(s) on ponies?
« on: March 01, 2013, 08:04:34 AM »
Exactly what it says on the tin. :)

Mine would have to be yellow body with blue hair.  Or green hair.  I recently fell in love with UK exclusive Cascade for this.  (Price check on her, by the way?  Anyone?)
Also, to a smaller and pickier extent, blue body and purple hair. :)

Your thoughts?

The Dollhouse / New doll is a bit... off...
« on: February 25, 2013, 01:16:08 PM »
I just puchased Dance Class Lagoona today and she's absolutely gorgeous!  However, there are some things that have me concerned: 
1.  Her arms and hands are fully painted.  I think it looks absolutely horrible (mainly because it's a sloppy job).  Is this normal?  I've never seen it on another doll before.
2.  One of her legs is really super loose.  Like 360-degree turn in its socket loose.  Any way to fix that?

Customs / Prepping Celestia?
« on: February 23, 2013, 03:56:38 PM »
I have the Celestia from the Royal Castle Friends set, and I have the head off and plug out, but now what?  How do I get to her tail to take it out?  Also, is Luna's mold the same way?

Customs / About to pull my hair out... (Paint help?)
« on: February 16, 2013, 10:22:44 PM »
Long story short, I despise FBRs in yellow.  Thought I had a trick worked out but it's failing me.  So, if you don't mind...
1.  How do I get FBRs in yellow/white done faster and more efficiently?
2.  How do I prevent paint lines (because watering down the paint isn't helping)?
3.  Is there a way to smooth paint out after it's on and dried?  Rubbing alcohol?  Sandpaper?

Please help...

Customs / All right, everyone...
« on: February 04, 2013, 09:49:41 AM »
I took on a big project last night involving lots of sculpting, and the result sucks majorly.  I've asked for help in certain areas of this thing before but now I need all the advice you could ever give about sculpting and sanding!  Tell me all that you know, and all that you keep secret (please? :P)!

Even though I'm at the point of no return on this current project (unless I go for a second baking), it would help for later customs.  And sanding advice could help on these because they are really rough.  Here's one specific question that I have:  how can you sand properly on flat, fragile pieces like fins and ears?  Both around the edges and on the surface.  Is there a better option than just elbow grease and regular sandpaper?

I'm using Sculpey, if it helps to know that.
Also, is there a softer, more malleable sculpting material that I can use?  I think part of my issue may just be how hard Sculpey is. :/

Customs / Best Way to Sell Customs?
« on: January 24, 2013, 09:01:16 PM »
I know that the market for custom buying isn't that great, but I do have some that I want to get rid of eventually.  I just don't know the best way to go about doing it.

My customizing skills are amateur at best, so that makes it harder.  It's difficult to compete with people who have been doing it for a long time, have steadier hands, have more resources, etc.

Any ideas?

Customs / Is it safe?
« on: January 22, 2013, 09:06:10 AM »
I did some sculpting on a pony and baked it, only to find out afterward that she has a huge rough spot on her neck that I missed.  Would it be safe to bake it again?  I mean, would it harm the pony or burn the current sculpting if I baked again?

The Dollhouse / How common are most male dolls?
« on: January 19, 2013, 09:06:05 AM »
I saw a Scaris Deuce and walked away, but if he's rare, I might go back and get him and sell him later on.  Are the boys typically really rare or sought after?
