i want to straiten the ponys leg

[bluemoondreams]

If this dosen't belong here I appologiise, it's not a custom question so...ANy way move it if need be. This pony also arrived in the bait lot, their is nothing hugely wrong with her asside from the obviouse missing tail and main. However one of her back legs stands at an aquard postion, it sort of crosses inwards almost touching the other leg, any one got any tips for straitning it? Other quesion should I just rehair her with hair simular to teh orginal colour or do something else oppions on that would be cool. Thought I'd pop in a picture of the poor pony.

My Mommy Apple Delight had that same problem. I think it's common with that pose..?
I put a FolkArt 2 0z paint tube between her legs.

I heated her legs with the hairdryer on LOW, till they were just a little warm, then when she cooled I removed the tube and viola!

I agree with what was said so far. Put something between her legs then apply a gentle heat.

 Hope it works for you!

As far as the rehairing goes....I think she'd look AWESOME if you gave her hair the same color as the leaves on her apples!

The boiling water tip works well. As you already have her head off, I would fill her with boiling water - repeat as the water cools and then when the plastic is soften gently manoeuvre her leg into position; hold it there with something soft [curlers or packed bubble wrap] and which will not stain or indent the plastic further. Then toss her in the freezer for a few days. Bring her back out and she should be fine.

You can substitute the warm water for a hair dryer directly on the leg if you prefer. And in very severe cases I have had to repeat this process a couple of times.
