Got scammed but ended in restoration (with video)

[Coveredbydust]

Hello everyone! this is my second contribution in the mlptp comunity. A few weeks ago I bought some ponies from 3rd generation online. Turns out I recived other ponies, at first I was angry about the scam. Then I realised I couldn't do much about it, but that's other story. I would have bought the ponies I ended up reciving for the same price, but the action from the seller was horrible. (Disclaimer: I only buy ponies that need restoration and a lot of work, basically the ponies no one wants haha) Anyways, that's the story for this new post. I decided to restore these ponies since I didn't have them either and experimented a little with my video skills and had fun making a video about it! I actually ended up loving the result and although making the symbols gave me nightmares I loved the result.
These are the before and after pictures:

This is the video I made from the restoration process:

Fun fact these are the first G3 ponies I have. So I hope you like the restoration and how they ended up looking! I'm very happy to share the results with this wonderful forum!
Stay safe and have a wonderful day/night wherever you are! ♥

Ooooh I love this! And the video is awesome, although I was sitting there gawking at the sheer precision of that paint restoration. They look lovely, but definitely way out of my league lol

I enjoyed watching your video! Something so satisfying about making grubby toys look like new again and I am envious of your painting skills! They came out fantastic!

Absolutely amazing! Especially your paintwork, you’ve done really well with those.
Also your colour mixing looks spot on too
The video was interesting and enjoyable. I think you’ve done very well

Amazing job! Getting those tiny symbols so precise must have been hard. 0_o

Thank you so much! The painting was the hardest, because of the symbols these ponies had haha, Star swirl gave me nightmares. I don't show everything on the video but I had to do the painting 3 times before it looked quite decent to be honest!

For me restoring things contected me to the pony world. As I always say, I am creating my own pony asylum haha.

Thank you so much, yes luckily I was able to get the right colors! Even though I don't have a physical version with no damage to compare I think they are fine now at least for my personal collection.

I had to do them 2 or 3 times to get them right haha

I loved the video! You did an amazing job!

thank you! The video was experimental. I hope to create more on the future I have some G1 I would like to record the restoration process.
