Hi guys, so I have a few G1's whose symbols are almost completely gone, so it's not a simple painting over sort of job.
Have been looking at possibly investing in a Cricutter to create stencils for airbrushing them on. Anyone had experience doing this?

Just getting my materials together to bring a few custom concepts to life, and have trawled through ebay and etsy for decently priced bait g1's.
I have enough earth ponies and babies to last me a while, but I am looking mainly for pegasus, unicorns (not majesty's pose) and flutters.
Happy to pay UK postage.
Many thanks

Hey, so long time lurker here!
Over the last couple of years, I've been in a bit of a flunk, and my other half said I needed a new hobby, so he has graciously retrieved my baits and paints that I started to get together a few back. (...had to put it all away in his parents' attic when we moved in with friends briefly).
I shall do a go over on my previous attempts from years ago, but in the meantime I have an ambitious project to start me off.
I won a poor Princess Sparkle as part of a bundle on Ebay, fibre optics fallen most of the way out the crown, LED missing from the component, missing saddle, bow dimmer switch broken and missing, and tinsel absolutely unsalvageable. I would post pics but confused on how to from Dropbox!
I have a working theory of how to replace the electronics, can make new saddle and bow dimmer swtich, and but what would people suggest about the hair and body?
There a dark blue marker pen near the battery compartment that I just KNOW is going to be a pain to get rid off. Do I put a clear blue glaze on her to help blend the mark in?
As for the hair, the tinsel is just shot! Any pointers on comparable tinsel so I can rehair her please?
Many thanks!

Popping my custom cherry. Tropical Breeze from my errant Ebay seller finally came today, and woe is me, she has a bit of pony cancer (my fault, didn't check the photo's out close enough, it just looked like grime). But since I should be having a well-looked after Tropical Breeze from a flutter bundle coming soon once I get the updated invoice for the shipping cost, I thought I shall start on the creation on my Storm Fury flutters.
Since Tropical Breeze is already blue, I shall start with Mistral, who is a mid to dark blue flutter, and shall have "Meteorite" nylon hair from Retro Dolls UK.
I nipped into WH Smiths after work and picked up some acrylics, and I will dismantle my flutter tonight, de-hair her and appply her first coating. Despite it stating on the paint box that the acrylics have a "buttery smooth" consistency, I think I shall water down the paint a little before applying. Pre-paint wash, I shall hibiscrub the heck out of her before hand, and blow dry her.
I think just for a photographic record, not just for myself but for other noobs, I shall take shots of each stage, much like what I have done for my astrophotography, which I have found useful to go back through to see what did I do to get best/worst results in the past for the present.
So watch this space! And if anyone has any tips along the way, please post them, as I am forver in the need for educating!
Much Love, Toilandtrouble

The lovely pinkkittywinks has tried to help me generate my Etsy badge into my signature, but I still can't get it to work. Can anyone help me?

If anyone knows if the Ebayer seller faery81 is a member on here, please ask her to contact me, as I have been messaging her and no reply, also she has received payment for items won via straight bank transfer on Sunday (Barclays has issues regarding PayPal transactions on my account atm), yet a case was closed stating no payment made, thus indicating I may not be receiving items..... I need her to reply at her soonest convenience so I know where we both stand.
Thanks xx

Next month I'm going to start creating some custom flutter ponies, which I think I'm going to call the Storm Furies. I'm envisioning they'll have dragonfly wings instead of the original-esque repro's, as they won't be as pastel-coloured and pretty as their flower-named sisters, and I think the dark veins throughout the wings will offset their colours better.
Their names shall be Tempest, Thunderhead, Twister, Cloudburst, and Mistral. They shall have cutie marks symbolising the powers of the elements that coin their names, in colours the likes of mid hues of green, blue and purple. I'm getting the vibe that they'll be having quite the no-nonsense attitude as that of Honeysuckle, although not as bolshy.
I would like to think that their Utter Flutter is stronger than the others, hence their names, and are more aloof than the usual Flutter Pony, preferring to chase storms. But I'm stuck on how to explain their existence in my Ponyland - anyone got any ideas?
Cheers xx

Hi, kind of new to this community although I've been obsessed by G1 My Little Pony's all my life. I have a list which I'm looking for to join my collection, and the ponies on my new Etsy shop ToilandtroubleGB are all also available to trade, not just for sale. Please do take a moment to check shop announcement for new additions arriving from either my storage boxes at my nan's house, or from bundle buys, which I don't need as I already have them. Thanks xx nb. Grails in bold - Baby Tippy Toes-Baby Ballerina

Hello there, I'm new to this site. I live in south east England, and I collect G1's only. I signed onto this site to locate missing ponies to add to my collection, and also to get hints and tips on restoration and customisation. I have only just for the first time ever used Etsy to purchase something a few weeks ago, and really liked the ease of the whole process, that last week I set up my own shop on Etsy as a gateway for people to see what duplicates/baits are available from my collection that they may be interested.
