Thankful for this cold, rainy day I had off from work.  Much progress was made today!

The sculpting is done (much more sculpting than I originally planned on) and the hair has been ordered (intended to order earlier, but was torn between a color scheme and waiting for dollyhair to restock so I could place a mass order). I am soooo loving this particular pony project!  All that's left to do is priming, painting and rehairing.  And then a few fun, top-secret details.  Muahaha!

On another note...

Anyone have any useful tips/tricks/suggestions for shipping a somewhat fragile custom pony?  (Besides gobs and gobs of bubble wrap and a super sturdy box) ?

Sunshine - you could try double boxing, that is the method I use for fragile porcelain figurines. You wrap the item in bubble wrap, then it goes into a small box. You then place that small box inside a larger box and pad it (I use packing peanuts). It helps add an extra layer of cushioning. Use enough bubble wrap that the figure does not move around, and enough packing peanuts that if you shake the final package you can't hear anything moving around inside.

Good to know! I was pretty much planning on double boxing anyway. Thanks so much for your help!

Oh dearest partner, I seem to have purchased an extra nurse redheart when I hit up Walgreens. >>() If you are not a fan of g4s disregard this question, but if you DO collect g4s do you already have her or would you like to receive her as an extra?

[cloverofmist]

I'd love her as an extra..

I finally managed to get one to display and one to keep in box so I'm good. But I may still get one to mod.

YES! None of my Walgreens show any sign of her!
