Watch me get carried away talking about Egyptian mythology while I customize a mummy pony! :D I thought it would be a good idea to do a Halloween project. And, since I received some positive feedback from the Minoan Pony video (thank you!!), I found another excuse to talk about history. In this case, Egyptian history... in the context of a MLP G1 custom. If you're new to the channel... yep. This is a vintage My Little Pony project voice-over-ed with a whole load of facts about the Book of the Dead, canopic jars, and spells accompanying the mummification process!
First of all, thank you again Elegoo for the FANTASTIC Mars 3 printer. Wonderful machine. Here is a link to it and to the resin I use in the video:

- Preparing the pony: 00:35
- Fixing the ear with Milliput: 01:57
