Hi folks. I thought I'd show this girl off.
This was for a "Beast to Beauty" contest where the goal was to take an original beat up pony and make her beautiful.
Here is the "bait" pony doll I started with:




Notice the complete lack of a front right leg, the missing ears, the hole in the head and the horrible condition of the flocking.
This is what the doll looked like after I prepped it for restoration and customizing. I used 100% pure acetone to remove the flocking and paint.


Here's a mid-restoration pic. I used Aves' Apoxie Sculpt / Fixit-Sculpt epoxy clay to re-create the missing parts.



And here is the final restored and beautified pony:









I used Fixit-Sculpt for the belt and dress (which was made so the pony could stand. It originally had a plastic base that was not included with the bait pony.) It was painted with Ceramcoat and given a matte coat of Mod-Podge, and the mane and tail were re-rooted with nylon hair from Dollyhair.com (a great site, imho.)

Hope you enjoyed the pics~

Nicely done.
I do admit that I know very little about My Little Pony customization. Normally all I see is stuff someone does on Deviantart making them into horrorish things like zombies or Xenoforms (from the Alien movies).
Yours is definitely much more refined.

Great Job.................... I like the finished look. I have also seen Barbies restored like this.

Hi LuckyCat,

Wow,  you really did a great job! I am impressed with the result. Even better than the original, even before it got all  mangled and destroyed. Great job!

it looks great that you can repair it. Never heard of it.

Wow what nice work.....you really make them shine even though they start out as a piece of coal.....thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Ha ha, I actually have 2 of the more-often "hit" xenomorphs on Deviantart (my username there is Eruna.) I liked this particular pony because I was able to employ a lot of real restorative techniques.

WOW!!! Excellent work. You definitely made a Beauty out of a Beast.

I'm impressed!  I am glad you shared the process with us.  I had not hear of FixIt Sculpt so did a google search.
http://www.avesstudio.com/html/fixit_sculpt.html  It looks like a pretty cool product.   Are the final results plastic like?

What a wonderful restoration! I probably would have just tossed it!  Thanks for sharing!!
