Pony Corral / Mystery Fakie Solved
« on: January 20, 2012, 06:24:14 PM »
So several weeks ago, Vintergatan, posted a topic trying to solve this mystery fakie

With out any luck at the time, and only the company name to go by... I gave up trying to find out anything about this fakie till she made it through the mail here. So I just got her today, examined her, noted a few interesting things... then it hit me!

I did an image search for her... before I did this but I forgot one important thing... she's not just a pony... she's a UNICORN! So I did a google image search Simba-Toys Unicorn... one of my hits? Nearly the exact same unicorn with a doll but another color! She's from the Steffi Love Evi toys it seems.

Here is the interesting points about this Unicorn:
  • She has wings
  • She has a clear horn
  • She -does- light up
  • Her wings.. move?
Ok so why am I posting this? Because I figured there would be others with similar ponies out there that have not the foggiest of where they came from. There are also other variations of this pony from Simba-toys but from the same doll named line. I did see another pony similar to her posted over in customs in the "Save the Ponies!" topic... same symbol and mold just without the wings and horn!

Customs / I learned a very important lesson with my Airbrush
« on: January 19, 2012, 12:37:01 PM »
Well I've only been using this new airbrush for not a full yeah (on and off) and these last few times I was wondering why I wasn't getting much paint out if it.
So the first time I took it apart and for once managed to get the two tip parts (not sure what they are called XD) off to clean them out and it seemed to work well after that.... Then today well barely anything... even water... tried to clean it several times till I found out what part was clogged... Yay for the help of a beading needle!

So I can fully say I've learned how to better clean this thing xD Clogged Airbrushes are not fun and frustrating :| But now I can work on this one fakie that is begging to be worked on XD

Pony Corral / SHS Twinkler: is she supposed to kind of lean?
« on: January 16, 2012, 07:08:16 PM »
Hey guys, I asked this before on FB while the arena was down with only one response so re-posting it here.

Is SHS Twinkler's pose supposed to look like it's leaning to one side? I did have her in a block to try and fix the legs if they could be....

Customs / *pokes her Fabri-tac* Why so slow D:
« on: January 16, 2012, 06:32:38 PM »
Ok so the last few ponies I've worked on I've used my fabri-tac on the inside of the head to secure the hair. I noticed that my current bottle of it moves very very slowly when trying to get it out of the bottle (the bottle I have is not the normal fabri-tac bottle) as opposed to the other fabri-tac I still have in it's normal bottle.

Is it possible that the more often the glue is exposed to air it will do this or just the fact it's older? I have a habit that after putting glue in the pony's head I let it drain out into the larger bottle (which is the one having problems). It still works it's just... yeah slower than I'd want it to be and harder to get into G4 heads I:

Customs / DH, how long does it take now to get orders?
« on: January 15, 2012, 04:43:18 PM »
Ok, I might be over worrying about this... but it's been at least 10 days since my last DH order and no email about the order being shipped... I had to do some looking to figure out stuff since I don't order hair a lot..

My last order looked like this:
Nov. 25: placed order/emails confirming order
Nov. 28: Payment taken out of bank (under the new payment system for DH)
Dec. 1: Order Shipped email
So this was in about a week span... but it was also all Nylon pony hair and a larger order with two blended hanks

Current order as stands:
Jan. 5: Order placed/emails confirming order
Jan. 9: Payment taking out of bank (under the same payment system as the last order)
And that is where I stand... No email yet... this order was all Saran, two blended hanks...

So am I just over concerned about not getting the email too quickly :yikes: ?

Edit: I am aware that some orders before took about 2 weeks, I might have just been lucky and got some of mine in a weeks time... but still need to be sure.

So I have posted at least one of these but I'm going to post here again! I have two WIPs to show and one that I'm still working on... They are all kind of on the back burner till I can get hair for some of them.. So here they are!

Waiting on hair and working on a charm!

No symbol but you guys can see how she is going to look XD (That white line around her head is a possible map-out for more hair XD)
