I'll go get her when my boyfriend isn't looking! Its a special trip but it will be worth it, its not TOO far out of the way.... I work 8-5 tomorrow so I will sneak by.  There might be a chance there are more, but I do not know. The house is destroyed and has no chance of getting in. I think that is where the rest of my childhood collection is (my intro post explained: the ones at home were burned).

Wow Elish2, Gusty sure looks great now that she's white again!  Great job!!!   I really need to learn how to sun fade so I can get my Gusty's white again too.  (I'm so afraid of doing something wrong to the paint or symbol. O.o)

Only 2 of my Argies arrived in lovely condition with original wings.  I cannot tell you how amazing the repro wings are in person!!!  The fabulous Isabella Klein specially made the wings for me, and they are breath-taking in person. 

Please keep these pictures coming!!!!!  I need to see more:)

Yeah she was my first one, I was worried too, but she came out great.

Wow, you guys are amazing on restoring ponies :shocked: I can only wish I had your skills!

I don't even know how to fix frizzy hair XD But I'll look into it once I start setting my ponies up :P I doubt I'll be even half as good at doing anything with ponies though as you guys are!

When I got these I definitely didn't think they'd come out this good.

These are amazing.  I never even knew this existed until I read this thread.  It makes me want to go hunt some old ponies down and save them.  Where are you getting the before ponies from?  Thrift shops and garage sales?

This thread also makes me realize that when I think I am fixing my daughter's ponies' hair nice, I'm really still leaving it a mess.  I guess I need a hair guide.

I wish I'd taken pictures... one time at the mlpfair I was digging through a box of baits and found some dingy Flutter ponies for like, fifty cents each as custom baits.

Bought them, cleaned them off, turned out that except for a symbol rub on one and some frizz, they were pretty much minty.

These are so amazing :heart: 

I haven't done any impressive restores, only some de-frizzing and rehairs. I have a couple of ponies waiting for me to fix them, this thread is a great source of inspiration!
