Customs / My Re-Hairing Tool Broke! HALP!
« on: March 17, 2012, 08:52:57 PM »
I had just started rehairing my Baby Lucky Leaf and the needle snapped!  Dollyhair seems to be behind on needles, as is pop-girl, judging from the link in the Stickied thread.

Does anyone have rehairing tools for sale?

After a VERY long dry spell of not buying any ponies at all, I finally had some spare funds for a pony spree.

Why, who is THAT back there?

MIMIC!

I do already have a Mimic, but this girl was stuck in a lot with Braided Beauty and Daddy Sweet Celebrations. Only one pic and it was hard to tell her condition. So I gambled and won the lot for $69.

She got here today and she's actually in better shape than I thought. I just gave her a bath and need to attack a few marks with acetone. I *might* touch up her faded spots on her symbols. But her hair is lovely, just needed a wee bit of conditioner.

Once she's all cleaned up, I'll prolly put her or the one I already have up for sale (depending on who's nicer).

And I have expanded my small Italian collection with that Italian Starflower!  She's SO pretty! I have to say, I much prefer the metallic symbols on these Italian girls to the sparkly paint we had in the US. She'll join my small Italian herd of Applejack, White Tootsie, Bubbles, Seashell, Peachy, and Sparkler. Hooray for my first Italian Rainbow pony!

Baby Lucky Leaf is one of my little grails! She's just so cute!  This little sweetie is in serious need of a rehair and I just ordered some hair for her.  It's hard to see in the pic, but half of her mane is chopped up and her tail's been snipped as well. Besides, my ponies mean all the more to me when I've had to spend an hour or two rehairing them.  Just ask my Lemon Treats. :)

Baby Alphabet is so cute!  I never realized she had freckles before!  I picked her up from the same seller when I bought Italy Starflower and Baby Lucky Leaf just because I like to pick up several ponies at a time to save on shipping.  And I only have one other UK baby. Baby Bow Tie was lonely! Now to find a Baby Applejack!

I think I spent roughly $100 for all of them, including shipping. Seems like a lot, but considering Mimic can go for that all by herself, I think I did pretty good!

I'll post pics again once they are all cleaned and styled and (in Lucky Leaf's case) rehaired.

UPDATE - 3/24/2012

OK, here they are all cleaned up and styled.

These lovelies didn't need much other than a bath and some styling. I still can't get over how pretty Italian Starflower is!

Baby Lucky Leaf here got a full re-hair and she looks lovely! She still has some marks on her NDS that I may try to sun-fade. Mimic here cleaned up nice too!  Still has some ingrained dirt on her hooves that I may try to muscle out, but she's looking fine, huh?

Trader & Shipping Support / Shipping OOPS! UPDATE!
« on: March 09, 2012, 07:30:05 PM »
So I bought a lot of three ponies off of ebay and only realized AFTER they'd been shipped that Paypal gave the seller the wrong address. I updated my info, but for some reason Paypal still insists on reverting back to my old address. I forgot to double-check before sending payment.

So I have a tracking number and everything, but they are headed to the wrong place!

Any idea what I can do?  I have been getting my mail forwarded, but I think they only do that for two months and not for packages anyway. I have no idea if someone else has moved into the old place or not. I suppose I could sort of stalk the place for a few days, as it's not far from where I am now.

UPDATE 03/17/2012

Got them!  I got home yesterday to find a pink note in my mailbox that something was at the local PO for me. As I am expecting a few different packages, I wasn't sure which it was. Picked it up today and it's my missing girls!  Mimic, Braided Beauty, and Daddy Sweet Celebrations are safe with me!  I already alerted the seller and left her positive feedback on ebay.

Thanks for your help, everyone!

Customs / G4 TAF Sugarberry
« on: February 26, 2012, 04:01:22 PM »
So this is my first attempt at a G4 custom and boy did she put up a fight!  This used to be G4 Plumsweet. I accidentally bought two of her, forgetting that I already had one. So, I decided to de-box one and make her into a G1 pony. Using a poll here on the Arena, it was a landslide vote for Sugarberry.

I haven't decided whether to sell her or not since I *might* be going to ACEN in April and will need stock to sell there if I do. Still, I'm open to offers if anyone *really* wants her. :)

Customs / HALP! How in blue blazes do I get her head off?
« on: February 24, 2012, 03:55:22 PM »
K, so I'm making a G4 Sugarberry.  And I can't get Plumsweet's head off! Or rather, I got her head off, but how do I get the plug that's still in her neck out without destroying her neck in the process?

Any ideas? Pictures? Tutorials?

Bueller?  Bueller?

Customs / Who Should I Make?
« on: February 20, 2012, 07:17:54 PM »
So, I accidentally bought an extra PlumSweet, not realizing I already had her. Rather than return her, I was thinking that I should (finally!) try my hand at customizing a G4. Since she's already white, I want to keep her body color original. And I'm not up to sculpting, so she's staying an earth pony. (Although if you think I should make G4 earth pony version of a peg or uni, feel free to suggest it!)

I've already got hair for either Sundance or Sugarberry.  But I need to restock my hair supplies anyway, so don't let that limit you. :)

So who should I turn PlumSweet into?

Wanted! / SS Bouncy
« on: January 27, 2012, 05:01:09 PM »
As a housewarming present for myself, I am looking for one of the last few So Softs I need to complete the collection!

I need a SS Bouncy! I'd prefer little to no flocking rubs on her. No haircuts. If she's a tad frizzy, I can always fix that myself.

If you have a SS Bouncy for sale or trade, please drop me a PM with pics and your asking price/wish list.

Thanks!

Rose
