Broken horn help

[DemureGirl]

Hi

I have a Moondancer whose horn is broken. The top segment is missing. I think I might be able to tidy it a bit with sandpaper, or a nail file. Is this a god idea though? I don't know enough about sculpting to give that a go and I'm not sure when else to do.

It is a real shame as she is in mint condition besides this.

Any help would be really appreciated

If your're going to file it I would use a metal nail file - don't use sand paper.

Ok, metal nail file it is, thank you

I am simply not talented enough to offer help on sculpting either but a glass nail would probably be more gentle on the plastic...

Good luck!

There are some people in the UK that restore ponies. You can open a topic in the custom forum if you want and ask if someone would like to restore her  for you
Obviously, it would cost you, at least the shipping, so this is only an option if you *really* want to fix her up

Alternatively, you can ask for someone to guide you through the sculpting process, if you want to try it out yourself?
just some suggestions ^^ but whatever you decide, good luck!

Thanks again for the answers ^^

I am pretty competent using clay, but have never tried with the stuff I have heard the customizers talking about (aproxi sculpt or something like that?) Maybe I'll head over there and ask them for some advice ^^

Best of luck repairing her!

You can use apoxie, but you could also go with Sculpey, too. It'd require baking, but as long as you're careful, it'll be fine. Good luck with that horn!♥
