Hello :) This week we are going to restore a My Little Pony Lickety Split, made in 1984 by Hasbro. This pony has some damage to the eyes, it's quite dirty and it looks like the head was re-glued at some point. The symbols have faded a little as well, and it looks like the hair used to be much pinker. So we're going to try something new (at this scale at least): Re-colouring the hair!
Quick jump to:
- Intro: 0:00
- Removing the head: 00:37
- Removing the tail and cleaning: 01:44
- Cleaning with acetone: 02:30
- Hydrogen Peroxide and UV light treatment: 03:52
- Re-colouring the hair - Step 1: Untangling: 04:40
- Re-colouring the hair - Step 2: Testing the dyes: 05:55
- Re-colouring the hair - Step 3: Actual dyeing: 08:11
- Retouching the paint: 10:43
- Removing the metal washer and fixing the tail: 12:10
- Hiding a secret message: 13:53
- Results (before Patrons and fan art): 14:42
- Results (after Patrons and fan art): 14:50
