Those are so awesome! I can't imagine being able to sculpt something that tiny so perfectly!


Edit: It's not often that my husband likes ponies, but I showed him these and he said "DO WANT!" LOL

She looks beautiful! Love her!

Wow, thanks everyone!

I have a secret on the clean lines... I used a Pentel Pocket Brush pen for them. It's a pen that has a bristle-brush tip (not one of those felt "brush" tips!) and an india ink cartridge. I regularly use it to ink sketches in my sketchbook. Then on my G4 Mimic I thought maybe I could use it on ponies to make doing the eyes a little easier, and it WORKS! So I thought it would be perfect for this custom too. It made doing that black line between the green and the blue so simple that it probably should be criminal.

heftysmurf, I'm so glad that you like her!

I'm going to have to keep my eye on this. I love Steampunk and would love to do a Steampunk pony, but I've had some bad luck in swaps so I'll have to really think about it first.

I had the pleasure of meeting heftysmurf76  at last year's MD Pony Meet last year and we decided that we wanted to do a Cartoon Swap with each other. We didn't get started until late last year when we both had more time, and decided on mid-January for shipping. Well I just found out that he got the pony I made for him, so now I can show of pictures!


One of the things on hefty's list was the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. This jumped out at me and so... Mystery Machine was born!

(It was windy and extremely cold when I was taking pictures so her hair is all over the place...)

Apoxie flowers for her symbols, of course.

At first I wasn't sure about her orange eyes, but then when I got them all done and her hair in, they were PERFECT.

Rehaired in Tangerine, Daquiri Ice, and a Katsilk color called Nitro Lime, I believe. Again, I wasn't sure about the blue hair when I started doing her mane because it just looked really odd against the green without the rest of the blue from the pony. But then I got the head on and realized the color was good.

So glad that she arrived safely to Hefty and that he loves her. I had a really hard time letting her go, I think she's so beautiful! But I know she's at a good home so that makes it a little easier.

Some of you may remember that last year I made my husband a Serenity Custom for Christmas. Well he decided that I HAD to do more of his favorite ships for him, and this was the one he wanted next. It was supposed to be a birthday present for him in April, but it ended up taking me all year to complete and I gave it to him after Christmas this year.

I don't even remember what pony she started out as, but oh boy was she baity. I had to patch some chew marks in her face! She got some wire and aluminum foil bases for the sculpting and then was sculpted, sanded, and carved as best as I could do with my mediocre sculpting skills.

Her flight pods on both sides do actually say "Galactica" on them. Really hard to see...

NDS. She will stand on her own, sorta, but she has a tendency to fall over if you bump anywhere near her, so I made her a base. To attach her to the base I cut an X in the bottom of her hooves that are on the ground, marked where they fell on the base, put screws in the top of the base and then slipped the heads of the screws through the cuts on the bottoms of her hooves. This way she's actually removable from the base with a little wiggling!

Painting her was a pain. I can't even remember all the different colors I used on her, but it was probably at least half a dozen or more.

She certainly is a Grand Old Lady!


The next ship pony he wants in Enterprise D! Oh dear...

What a handsome guy! His face sculpt looks spot-on. Really great job!
