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.

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!

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