My first real restoration: Firefly's new tail!
« on: March 13, 2013, 09:17:35 PM »
I picked up a rather baity Firefly at the local flea market. She was dirty inside and out, her symbols were almost completely faded, and the poor girl was missing her tail.

Between a broken-up denture tablet and the awesomeness that is Magic Eraser, she cleaned up nicely. There's a pink marker scribble on one of her hind legs that I couldn't get rid of, but I'm just happy that her "lipstick" scrubbed off. (seriously...did every kid in this city draw makeup on their ponies and store them with markers? :rant:) Here she is all clean and minty fresh!

Her symbols were repainted with DecoArt Dazzling Mettalics Ice Blue, and her new tail is Dollyhair Water Nixie. I know the match for Firefly is supposed to be Atomic Turquoise, but that would have been a little too green. I guess this girl has faded over time. She looks so much happier now! ^.^

For good measure, here's my collection of display-ready g1s. Rosedust and Baby Sundance aren't ready for pics yet.

Aww thanks guys! :good:

I have some more complex restorations on the horizon, which I will be sharing here. Rosedust will be getting a new tail and new wings, and Baby Sundance will most likely become a twinkle eye...once I manage to get their heads off. (If boiling water doesn't work, I'll try the string soaked in acetone trick.) I have a few special projects coming up as well, so keep an eye out! ;)
