What's your dirtiest fixer upper? Do they have a bad case of rust or lots of pen marks (maybe even Sharpie)? I'd like to see how well they've been fixed.

Currently working on a Tex right now that I originally thought of baiting but after I got him, he looked too nice for it. But he's got an awful case of rust, which I'll post pictures for soon once he's clean.

And this was the result. (sorry for the desk picture)

I found her in my bait box and had to take a picture. I decided that I'm going to clean her up and style her hair, so right now I'm letting the conditioner sit in her hair for a while. (She also had tail rust)

I'll post some pictures after I'm done!

Is there a huge difference between these two kinds of paint besides colour selection and price?

Apple Barrel is about 60 cents cheaper so if I can save that amount per bottle when the pain is just as good, I'd rather do that. But I'm not going to sacrifice the quality if it's horrible for painting ponies with.

Bubbles has become one of my favorite G1 and I'd like to see her in others collections. Officials or customs, doesn't matter to me!

Also I suppose since she's got a bubbly cutie mark we can include Drama Pony too.

Okay I need some opinions on clay here, along with their pros and cons.

I've personally used regular Sculpey on one only to have it crumble after baking. I'm not sure if I didn't bake it enough or if it just sad in the wrong environment for a while. (I left it sitting on the top part over my desk for ages) Either way, I'm not willing to sculpt it all over in Scupley again if it's going to continue to crumble.

So recommendations on types of clay and techniques would be appreciated. I've looked up some tutorials but I'd really like more insight. I'm just worried since one custom I have planned is going to be rather clay heavy (Ace Hardlight from Ratchet: Deadlocked) and I don't need him falling apart on me.

Thank you.
