Recently, a friend asked if I could make models of her horses and ponies. I've gotten quite good at toy restoration over the years, so I gave it a try. She showed it to some of her friends, other people asked if I could make some for them, and here we are! I offer personalized models of horses, ponies, pets, farm animals, even dolls in both realistic and fantasy styles! What makes me unique is that I work with toys, not just model horses, and a variety of mediums, giving you an assortment of options.
I strive to offer quality toy models and superior customer service. If you would like to order a model, please email me at mlppreservation@gmail.com After I receive your email, I will provide my phone number so that we can speak directly about your preferences such as how you interpret your animal's coloring and which poses you like. I will send you in progress photos as well as a final photo to approve before your model is shipped. I am happy to make as many adjustments as necessary until each customer has the model of their dreams!

Would you like a doll that looks like yourself, your child, or an imaginary friend? Maybe you would like your child's dolls re-stylized to look more realistic and child-like. There are many options limited only by your imagination.
This model was customized from a Chelsea doll to resemble the customer. Her eyes were repainted, and clothes from another doll altered to fit. Her hair was detangled, washed, trimmed, and styled, as well as pink highlights added. I was also able to track down a riding helmet for her at the customer's request.
Prices Vary
I can sculpt or craft many accessories and clothing items for various animals and dolls. However, many toy companies have already made great quality accessories and there are plenty of customizers who specialize in these items. Many times it makes more sense for you to provide these items for me to alter to your preferences, versus re-inventing the wheel. Prices for these services vary based on the difficulty of the request. There is a $5 finder's fee if you would like me to locate accessories for your new model.
Would you like a fantasy creature such as a jackalope or a green unicorn with pink polka dots and purple hair? I offer fantasy style models as well!

"Sheba"
"Luna"
"G1" My Little Pony based on the horse "Sol".
I prefer not to customize the vintage My Little Ponies, known as G1's. (I do run an entire website about restoring them after all.) However I can be convinced if the pony base is common and in bad enough shape. I prefer to use what pony collectors call "G3's" for projects like this. They are more common and available in a variety of poses. These ponies can be painted and re-haired to meet your preferences.
