Most of the stains were removed with Oxyclean, sunfading and soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide. I repainted her symbols and gave her a new mane and tail.


And this reminds me, I still have to finish the rest of the ponies that I found with Scoops. ^_^;


Wow, that is so impressive! The before pony looks like it's been through some hard times. ):

Poor Hidden Treasure was just a mess when I found her at Savers. She even had marker IN HER HAIR.

After the Wishlist swap, I REALLY want to find some baity ponies to restore. As in, get a bait lot of dirty ponies with haircuts and possibly even symbols that need restoring. I've got a tailless Moondancer with faded symbols that I'd like to try once I can get the right hair color, at least. Once I get the time I've also got a really messy Starsong with red marker all over her that'd look lovely if I can get it off without damaging the rest of her.

Great Job, everyone !!!!

Personnally, the restoration I'm the proudest about is Italian Sunstone.
As she's a nirvana girl, I wanted to keep her in as original condition as I could, so I cleaned her and sculpted her a new horn, but removable. So nothing was definitly added or removed.

She was like this :

Do you guys think this could be saved? My Boyfriend wouldn't let me bring her in the car...but is on my family's property so I can go back any time if she can be saved...

I dunno. She was one of my childhood ponies....I'd like to save her but I dunno if it is possible...

Yes, try to save her, there's nothing wrong with trying to clean up a pony, no matter what they've been through!
She may not work any more after you get her cleaned up (I've never taken a DNP apart, but I'm sure her insides are....yeah.... rusted out....). 
There's no restoration challenge too big for a pony collector...

I think she can be restored to a satisfactory condition! It looks so far like a lot of dirt, really. It would be a challenge, but I think she could be brought back-- don't leave her, please! :(

GO GET HER!!!!!   Post lots of before and after pics.  Even if she still looks yucky some of us might have some suggestions for you on how to fix her!

Ignore the one on the left (I bought her from Emery!) and also the blue one.  I never thought I would have the nerve to touch these two's hair but they came out beautiful!
