I have been asked to try some G4 ponies. While I work on a couple of new projects and look for bait ones, I decided to at least honour G4 with a G1 custom :) I present... My Little Pony G1 Nightmare Moon! (Princess Luna) I'm not entirely happy with the colours, I'll be honest. I think it should have been purple :/ But I really enjoy doing customs and I take this as an opportunity to learn. I also think the eyelashes would have worked better in white or silver. What do you think?
