Deviant Art customization

This was bound to happen eventually 

I need a Twinkleshine pony!  Preferably loose, accessories optional.  She's for a custom.  I have ponies from all gens to trade as well as pony merch.  If there's something specific you're looking for, just let me know!

Pick something of comparable value (up to $8) from my website, my Etsy, my sales, or my classifieds

I noticed that nobody has made easy to read reference charts for the new blind bag figures since the purple waves.  Personally, I download these references to my phone so I can easily look up what ponies I need when I'm in the store.  Since I couldn't find these anywhere, I made them.  Feel free to use, distribute, upload to MyLittleWiki, or whatever!

Hehehe... I just got this lovely e-mail from eBay:

Dear XXXXX,

Congratulations! You've achieved Top Rated seller status, meeting eBay's US seller performance standards. To make buyers aware of your commitment to customer service, eBay will identify you as a Top Rated seller and provide some boost to your listings in Best Match.

Having Top Rated status also makes you eligible for these additional benefits on any of your listings that offer a 1-day handling time and 14-day or longer return policy with money back option:

    20% discount on final value fees
    Greatest on average boost in Best Match for your fixed price listings
    Starting late September, these listings will also have a prominent Top Rated Plus seal

To make sure you maintain your eBay Top Rated status, check your Seller Dashboard regularly. Remember, in addition to satisfying other evaluation criteria, to maintain your Top Rated status, you will need to continue to upload tracking within your stated handling time on 90% or more of US transactions.

Note: The August evaluation looked at transactions from June 1 to July 31 to determine if you met the tracking upload requirement. The September evaluation will look at the period of June 1 to August 31. From that point onward, we will look back at the previous three calendar months of transactions to determine your tracking upload rate.

Again, congratulations and thank you for your hard work as one of eBay's best sellers.

Pay special attention to the "Note" section of the e-mail:

Note: The August evaluation looked at transactions from June 1 to July 31 to determine if you met the tracking upload requirement.

If anyone remembers the horrible hassle I had with eBay last November/December, then you might know that I quit selling on eBay after that. So, how did I earn top rated seller status? They think my handling time is 1 day and I upload tracking 90% of the time; 90% of 0 is still 0.

Silly eBay, you won't suck me back in that easily!

This want list is mainly for swaps.  If I want something badly enough, I might be persuaded to trade;)

Please keep in mind, this list is tentative and will be edited around the end of August after I move.

Hubby got a new job in Miamisburg, a suburb of Dayton.  We're going to be moving there very soon!  Hooray!  I'm so excited about this.

But, we don't know anything about Dayton.  I'm hoping there are some awesome people here who can help us out. What area should we look for an apartment in? What areas should we avoid? Do you know of any houses/condos for rent?  What's the name of a local newspaper that we can look in for rental opportunities?

  Thanks for any help!  I'm so excited to be closer to my Cinni pony peeps 

Yup, I'm one of those lucky 600,000 out of power in Ohio.  I think the number is way down from that initial estimate now, but I still don't have power. Since I'm out in a rural area, I don't expect to have power before this weekend or next week even.  Until then, I'm checking e-mail once daily with my phone, but I can't do any sales or trades at the moment.

I'll update when I get power back!

At the past Equine Affair, my younger sister noticed an ad in the program for a Peter Stone Custom Horse.  She said we could both chip in and pay for it and make it look like Squirrel, our older sisters mare that passed away last year.  I thought it was an awesome idea and agreed.  After much searching, we found the booth and checked out the details. It would be over $120 to get the horse just right.  The guy at the booth mentioned we could buy a factory second for around $30 and I could paint it to save money.  Sounded like an awesome idea, so we went for it; my sister paid for the horse and shipping and I'm doing the customizing.  We looked at all the Peter Stone Models and decided the long mane and long tail stock horse was the perfect one. It was even a mare to boot!  At least, all of the stock horse ones at Equine Affair were...

I got my factory second in the mail about three weeks ago.  This baby needs work! I've already trans-gendered it (HOW did I get a stallion when every one at the show was a mare?), removed all the seams, smoothed out the back and belly where the two molds didn't meet, filled in holes and dimples, built up atrophied muscles, and added a little more forelock.  Today, I want to add the frogs and even out the hooves so it stands properly.  None of this has caused me any problems.  But, I've got one HUGE problem!

That stupid tail has a seam across it. I tried smoothing it out with the dremmel and probably made it worse.  I don't have any really fine, pointed instruments to try sanding it out with.  I'm just stuck on how to get this tail looking right.

What would you guys do?  Leave it as is and decide it's not that big a deal?  Sand it?  Sculpt it a little? Cut off the tail and make an entirely new one?

Here are the photos of the issues in question:
