Hi, I'll see if I can get down to the basement to find her out for you later.When I was experimenting doing a baby Mimic a few years back, I think I made her base colour up with a touch of neon green mixed with a creamy ivory, but those paints are all locked up in storage at the moment. The colour was close, but I couldn't get rid of the brush strokes no matter how thinned down the paint was so I gave up.
I'm not even going to attempt a full-body repaint...I don't trust my abilities enough to achieve a factory look without brush strokes!

Exactly the reason why I gave up some years back! Then my fiance said that I needed a life outside work and a hobby as an outlet, so he bought me an airbrush, and I've been spending the last few weeks stripping down my old custom attempts and learning how to airbrush.I've loved the finish I've gotten on my Fortune Teller Mystic and Baby Parasol so far!Shall take photos with flash on and off for you to try and get as accurate colour shots for you xx
I already took a photo like that for another thread quite some time back. I'll see if I can find it.Edit: It's probably not the best image but here it is anyway:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAlthough I would say good luck doing a colour match without the pony in front of you. She's not a pony whose colour photographs very well. I think you saw it before, LadyA, but anyhow.The BB pony is apparently peach sweet. She seems to be the closest colour match in my collection at least.Also, in my experience green things tend to sun fade to blue, not the other way around. O.o.
I took a photoshoot of Mimic with several Baby Frostings a few years ago, because IMO they make a great mommy and baby set! This was taken outdoors in daylight, without any editing since I don't know how to do that yet. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login IDK if this will help, but it'll offer another data point for you at least!
The Baby Frosting and Mimic family are just too cute!!!I've just had a brainwave - when my fiance finds out my Dream Castle box from the basement, where I think Mimic is (too many spiders for me when I went down yesterday!), I can take her to our local Homebase after payday to see if they'll do a colourmatch for me and I can get a couple of bottles made up, and send one to you if they do?
