lostpony's new G2 herd arrives! **After-spa pics update

[achab1984]

Congrats on your new ponies!

[kiwimlp]

I only started liking G2 ponies because of all the lovely brag threads I saw about them.  No I really like them and even have a few in my herd.  Your girls are beautiful.  Thanks for sharing pics

You should try the cubic zirconia in the eyes for any of the G2s that are missing gems~
That would be beautiful!

[lostpony]

I have, Chelsea7!  The Sky Skimmer with the pigtails (twintails, high ponytails) has zirconias and there are some 3 single eyes to replace (haven't done yet but will before packing them all up).  The original plastic G2 gems are so good you can't even tell the difference without direct sunlight...

Wow, as you can see I always read the fine print 

But she looks gorgeous! I love it! I have a G2 Ivy who needs new eyes, I'm considering trying it at some point

Who is that large plastic Clyde looking horse? I totally need to get one of those in my life.

Maddie it turns out that's Belle's horse Philippe!

I had to ask in a thread and members helped me ID him.

Pikashoes posted this image of him in package:

So he might still be findable somewhere.  Other versions of him aren't this nice. 

This one is as snuggle-able as he looks, yes a snuggleable hard plastic horse!  Good luck!

Chelsea7, it was much easier than replacing TE eyes.  Just use the tiniest bit of strong glue in the socket (very sparing, apply with a pin or toothpick in the very back of the socket so it doesn't squish out when you push in the gem) and drop in the new gem and push it firmly...I used Loctite Fabric and Vinyl Repair Cement which is very strong and flexible and seems to be holding OK.  I think my zirc is slightly bigger than the original but it's fine as a pair...might look funny on my single-eye-missing G2s but I don't want to try and pry out the original remaining eye so haven't proceeded so far.

  I know this is a site for ponies, but here goes. And I do love ponies, just so we're clear! I'm probably one of the biggest nerds on this site!  Cause I'm not gonna ask you about your ponies, Oh NOO, I'm gonna ask you about your rocks!  I can't help it!  I love rocks too!  So, anyway, in some of the photos you have ponies standing on a tree stump.  Is that a real petrified tree stump?!  And in other photos you've got ponies standing on a dark green stone (that is a stone, right?). What is that?  Malachite?  Ok so, um...yeeeah! Now that I stand out, I'm... gonna go!  Byee! 

[lostpony]

Carebearnmbr46, thanks for asking!  Are you a Maud fan?

No non-pony questions allowed.  This is not a pet rock forum.  Just kidding!

The tree slice is some piece of wood, alas not petrified.  I do have some thin slices of petrified wood, so I will endeavor to pose ponies with some of those in the future...I like ponies to have a nice setting and that's a great idea, thanks!

The green rock is a chunk of broken countertop...I have three pieces and I don't know what sort of stone they are or whether they are reconstituted.  I asked my resident geologist, the Fire Chief, to have a look.

If you like big rocks in their natural setting then please lookup my brag thread in Yosemite.  I would say Really big ones but once you've been to Macchu Picchu, Yosemite's granite doesn't seem quite as big anymore.

I love rocks, too! I have obsidian that I found in my old backyard, geodes found in the wild, and a collection of polished ones.

Good info to know, thank you! I'll keep this in mind when I do my replacements

The cement I keep talking about is actually named "Loctite vinyl, fabric, and plastic flexible adhesive   transparent"

Beautiful job on the repinked Twilight btw, her symbol is so bright too!  Makes a great avi pic.

Noted!
And thank you so much! She was a pleasure to repink!

[lostpony]

Got any tips for me?  Soon I'll be trying to repink some of my many faded ponies and everypony seems to agree that your Twilight is great results so I want to copy what you did.

[Chelsea7]

Sure! Let me send a pm so I don't clog up your thread~
