The Grail Swap- All done! Thank you!

hmmm - anyone want to offer up knowledge if an italian G1 takes a RIT dye well?  than again... I won't have the time I like to have it set... still I have a ton of peachy that would lend some authenticity to the custom

oooh SDstang :-) thanks loads for the eyes pics = yep that is definitely the fun of doing nirvana customs :-)

Hmm, I might make a blind bag extra instead of a full size custom, I just realized the shipping fees for two ponies might be ridiculous thanks to Finland's post office's prices 

ETA: I'm ripping my hair out with this bait. I have tried everything to get the original hair out but some of it stays no matter what. I'm starting to wonder if I should take another bait.

ETA2: Took another bait of same pose and the hair came out without a fight

[Sea_Breeze]

I was only planning on one as I'm still new to customising, I want to make this one PERFECT, but the blind bag idea sounds fun too, I'm sure I have a spare somewhere

Aww heck, I painted the pony but it didn't turn out too good  For some reason my hands shook badly and the symbols didn't turn out as good as I hoped for. Also the base color turned out a bit too dark  Luckily there is lots of time, I can do another one if I decide this one is not good enough.

ETA: Yeah she's too dark. Booooo. I will paint her again once I get more paint, one of my colors ran out.

Sometimes when that happens it's best to walk away for a bit. I've been painting for years and sometimes my hands shake too much for me to do details, so I leave it alone for a few hours and come back.

I've done nothing with mine yet. I don't even know what pony I'm doing.  I've been preoccupied though lol

so far ive just prepped all the bait ill need, still need to prime them tho, snowed yesterday so i didnt want to risk the primer acting up (it gets goofy if you use it when its too cold.) hopefully later today itll warm up enough so i can run outside and spray quick, else ima just make the house smell funny spraying in the basement =P

[BerryMouse]

Was able to order the second bait - so as soon as it arrives I'll start customizing again =)

Also the first one needs a symbol but it gets dark so early and I want to paint at daylight so I'll wait till the weekend =)

[SDstang]

I'm glad you guys like the eyes pictures!

and I havn't even started yet! I'm just getting everything together, cause I know once I start it won't take me long to finish.  and I want to make sure shes perfect

[Sea_Breeze]

I ordered my hair last night & I'm about to go pay for my bait.. Why is it when your after a bait that you end up buying more than just ONE pony from the seller

[LadySatine]

Those are the rules Sea Breeze! Lol

Because the one pony would get lonely shipping alone, and everyone knows you HAVE to use the buddy system to keep from getting lost!

Ottlight... best christmas gift ive ever gotten. =D

bait is primed and finally not too tacky/sticky feeling (was too cold out when i did it) so ill be able to sand and start primeing. went thru my hair box and the hairgods smiled upon me. i have everything i need! woot woot

[PandaBerryInSpace]

Started the FBR for Pony #1! It's not done yet, but I'm tired... I'm going to finish it up tomorrow.

[Raindrop]

Yea!  I was able to get the bait I really wanted (I wanted one in really baity condition, so I wouldn't be wasting a good pony as my pose is HTF) and some other supplies.  **settles down with leftover Halloween candy to wait for the mail**

[PandaBerryInSpace]

Well... The FBR didn't go exactly as planned. :\ I'm going to rethink things a little bit...
