Hey everyone  I've got a Blueberry Baskets that I'm about to begin restoring. Problem is she has yellowed so much! I was just wondering if there's anything I can do to make her a little more blue again? I'm a huge fan of sunfading in general now since I've used it on so many ponies with great effect, but usually just on stains and ink ect. As her problem is that she has yellowed naturally, would sunfading work on her or make the problem worse? If not, what about hydrogen peroxide? Can you use hydrogen peroxide on coloured ponies? I've only ever seen it done on white ones. Thank you so much

Hello everyone! I've been waiting to post this for weeks  My Mum has finally got the customizing bug - and here is her first (complete) custom! She's actually been working on several the same time, but this is the first one she's completed. For anyone who might be interested in her, she is for sale on ebay (to my annoyance *grabby hands* I've already claimed a couple of the others though, so I had to relent on this one  ): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171384809637Now the next step is to get her to sign up on here.....  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hey everyone, Just wondering if anyone could help me with a quick ID. I recently bought a lot of ponies that had been stored for years by their previous owner (as was evident by how pink the hair still was on most of them!). They also came with most of their original combs and ribbons. These were also in the box. I wondered if the cupcake one might be something like Starwberry Shortcake or something, but so far I can't find anything. Just found out it's a Cherry Merry Muffin comb As for the other comb, I thought it might have belonged to the Brush Me Beautiful Boutique (2nd ed. Grooming Parlour) as the colour is exactly the same as the BMBB brush (Which also came in the box along with several other BMBB accessories), but upon looking it up online it doesn't appear to be MLP after all. Any ideas? visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hey everyone Here's a new... Uh... Actually, an old custom. I know I had her 99% finished around January/February, so shows how long it's taken me to get around to posting her  Please forgive the unimaginative name. I wanted Lovey Dovey, but a certain G3 had already claimed that name *glares at Lovey Dovey* Literally nothing else came to mind so I went with Love Dove Anyway, just thought I'd share her. She is for sale on ebay in case anyone is interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201104185194?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

I was just looking through on ebay when I stumbled on this. Is it a KO or a serious factory error?  It's from a seller in Hong Kong, but the other ponies they're selling look legit, not like KO's. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hey everyone, I got a spanish Sweet Tooth a good few months back. I had planned to keep her, but circumstances have changed and I now need the money, so I will be looking to sell her and need to know what to ask for her. Another question, would she be worth more as she is or restored? If restored, how far do I go? I could just rehair her and leave it at that, or I could touch up the symbols/eyes ect. I need to get the best price possible for her as I've just found out that my rabbit is ill and it looks almost certain to be uterine cancer  Update: Anyone who might have read this and was worried about her (I know there are some bunny-lovers on here  ), there is just a chance it may have actually been an infection causing her to bleed (or she may also have had a kidney stone which has passed) as I haven't seen any blood for a day or two. I'm desperately hoping so as I really don't want to risk an operation at her age unless absolutely neccessary - update: Turns out it was just an infection - she was just giving me a scare (she likes to do that once in a while to prove how much I love her ) Please note that she hasn't been touched since I got her and may come up better after a wash, which I will give her later tonight (will update pictures - probably tomorrow): visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Yes, I know.. I've done another Dolphin custom  This is the last one I'll do for a while! At least for a good week anyway...  *just remembers there's a half finished G1 dolphin custom in the other room.. Decides not to make any more promises about dolphin-themed customs*Anyway, here she is. I know, not a very inventive name. I think I've used up every name that's even close to 'dolphin' now. As always, criticism is more than welcome She is for sale on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201069097789?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hey everyone Just wondering if I could get a quick PC on a reverse hoof heart Minty I? She is in pretty good condtion (there are a couple of tiny marks, but I think I'll be able to get these off with acetone). Her hair had completely faded to white, but I've just repinked it (not sure how repinking affects value?). Tinsel is a bit crinkled and she had some tail rust, though I've manged to get most of it out by scrubbing it with lemon juice (just from the outside - I haven't removed her head) I don't have this version of her so I'd like to keep her, but I've apparently gone a bit too far buying ponies recently, so if she's worth selling I'm thinking I might have to and I'll get her again later. Thanks

Hey everyone I've been meaning to post this pony for a couple of days. I'm really unhappy with her pictures (her eyelashes don't look wonky like the pictures make out, for a start!  ), but I've been taking pictures of so many ponies lately (trying to sell all my doubles and a few customs before we move house!), I really don't think I can be bothered to take new ones  Her hair is Pink Gin saran. As always, criticism is more than welcome. I know she's not perfect, but as I always say - I'm no artist! . I tried to make the peaches look fuzzy - did that come across, or do they look wrong (please be honest!  )?

I'm not too experienced with accessories, so I was hoping someone who is might be able to help me? I got a few new brushes and combs recently from someone on ebay. However I noticed something a little strange when they turned up.. The new combs that I bought are significantly bigger than the ones I currently have (I've pictured them next to Sunlight's pink brush and comb for comparison), and the bristles on the brushes are much thicker. There's also a number '6' on the brushes, whereas I can't see any number on Sunlight's brush. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginDid I buy fakes?

Hi everyone Got a new question for you all So I've bought quite a few ponies lately (mostly in lots), and I've decided that I need to sift through and sell off my doubles. One of them was this Snowflake. I thought I'd refer to all you expert ponies for your opinion She's marked Hong Kong. When I put her up against mine I noticed how different the snowflake shapes were. So my best guess is that she is a regular Snowflake whose symbols have been repainted (presumably by a collector)? She's been washed twice now in pretty hot water (the first time around I didn't even notice her symbols ), and survived that, so if they are repainted I'm guessing they're something like humbrol enamels or something as acrylics would have come off the way I scrub ponies . What do you think? I have more pictures if needed. I really feel that she must be a restoration, but I'm curious to know if she was done by someone on here? visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Been trying to get around to posting her on here for ages! I wanted to try something subtle instead of contrasting. I was stuck for a name, so my Mum came up with this for her. So here she is. Criticism, as always, is more than welcomed She is for sale on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201038373521?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hey everyone. I'm here to bother you all with another question Not sure if this really belongs here or in customs as I forget where I posted my last thread asking for a hair match Anyway, I've got a Princess Amethyst/Sparkle with a good body and okay-to-good symbols. Only problem is, she had no hair! Not sure if she was being prepped for bait or restoration as I bought her like that, but I would like to restore. So I need to find a match for both her hair and her tinsel. I was also wondering about the chrome on her symbol. It's not too bad on one side, just a bit rubbed around the edges, but the other side is pretty worn. Is it possible to rechrome them? I feel like I should know this as I was going to start customizing Transformers years ago ( still haven't got around to it), and I'm sure I knew something about chroming plastic once. But I have the memory of a sieve, so... Thank you so much for any help!

Hello everyone! I recently bought a lot of ponies which came with both G1 Applejack and Baby Applejack. They're in pretty good condition overall... Aside from both being covered in patches of what looks like blue ink! I've tried to remove them, but so far to no avail. I was wondering about sunfading them? Or is there another method I could try? Thank you so much
