Amazing restore, I've never seen pen mark fade out so well.  Must try this formula 911 stuff.  I am sorry to hear about your beloved pet *hugs*

Wow - she's looking fantastic! Nice work  :)

Sorry to hear of your wee dog. The photo frame with the little pawprint...  :cry:  But that is a lovely way to remember him.

Yes they did the plaster cast paw print in the frame for me at the crematorium. I would highly recommend heavenly days crematorium.
They were so wonderful and caring and treated pets with such care. They even offered to have someone pray over him before being cremated. I don't own property so burial was not an option plus I would rather have him with me incase I move. I also ordered this albumn off etsy. It came out amazing. He was the friend of a lifetime to me so I went all out finding ways to remember him.

The process I used was a combo of a lot of things.. With white acrylic paint I covered all the areas that should not be exposed to the sun. I treated the inked and marker areas with remove zit with one hour applications exposed directly to the sun and then would remove with formula 911 while the plastic was warm.. The ink and marker seem to remove nicely when the plastic is warm. Its a very long process and took 3 months of constant attention to make sure no damage to pony's plastic would occur.

Wow what a weird pony! I have a soft spot for the MGRs and didn't know this one existed. You've done a great job cleaning her up and it's lovely that she reminds you of good memories as well.

I think she was probably rescued from the bin where they dispose of prototypes and variations by a worker or pony designer and given to His or her child who then named her Lucky and got all pen/marker happy.

Ill probably try to sunfade the remaining marks a bit further.

I think you could sun fade her a little bit more, but you have done a great job already.

I have been dying to see how she turned out
I'm glad the pony helped you
Oh and I was one of the other crazy bidders ha ha
So I love her as much as you
And I understand the connections with pets because my 5 year old dog has put me through some scares with his health and I have been the one tending to hi and his will to fight and somehow I think he has come out threw it due to the connection
I so get it so lots of hugs to you for I feel your pain and I know the loss because losing our 11 yr old dog Mickey before I got Bandit was hard and not fun at all
Treasure Lucky oh and I hope your sadness turns into just happy memories

She cleaned up well!

It occurred to me, she's kind of similar to the alt pose Billie and Susie in that we can't work out where they came from, but I think all were found in the UK? I probably wouldn't consider her a protoype per se withoyt more information, but she is one very cool and unusual variation! Given the UK's historybof selling weird error ponies, it does make you wonder if that is their origins :)

Good thinking ladyg :)

Prototypes do tend to be resin or clay, where as Lucky is a "proper" pony like you Baby Billie :)

Yes, the UK did get lots of weird and wonderful things.

I think she's a late stage proto.  Like an initial test run. Anytime you think
of putting in large scale orders you always do a test run ordering at minimum one at most five (at least in the design world) to see how they will look and show the decision makers. My guess is most of these were destroyed once full scale production began.
I think baby Susie and Billie are also Late stage protos
