Stole this thread idea from Mana Minori over on the Arena.
For those of you who like to interact with your ponies, take them off their displays or out of storage and play with them and/or do photoshoots with them, what lengths do you go to? Do you tend to spoil them with frequent spa treatment? Do you build sets and props to photograph and play with them with? How far do you go?
I love to take mine out and play with and photograph them. And I have made sets (well, only one finished set so far) and props and whatnot, and am working on more.
Some of you might remember this room, I posted it six years ago. The SNES is a download I found on DeviantART here.
The TV, I made myself. The base structure is a simple measured, cut, and glued cardboard rectangular solid. The buttons are a length of matchstick that's been notched. The speaker grilles are cardboard rectangles with crosshatches scribed into them to make them look like old-school speaker mesh. But the best part is the screen. The acetate used for the screen? Is only glued at the sides. Meaning I can slip different pictures behind it to show different things on the screen.
I've also got a set for an arcade in the works, prompted by me getting one of those mini arcade machines for Christmas. This one is going to be a bit more elaborate, having different pieces for different areas like the snackbar, inside and outside the entrance, and such. Although there will be recycling going on, like using the same floor pieces but with different machines set up on it. Shown here is the WIP facade.
More recently, I made these paper hats for Molly and Baby Sundance.
