A long awaited piece for this piece is done in walnut, ash and pine for the pony, rainbow and cloud respectively. I'm afraid that, while flying, Dashie can only be posed in a couple of ways, especially for a sonic rainboom, so she more or less looks like the other two diving Dashies. I originally intended to raise this entire piece up on the cloud side to leave Rainbow Dash free hanging so that she could dangle off the edge of a desk or shelf or whatever, and to this end I made a bottom half for this cloud weighted with lead shot. But to counterweight the rainbow and the pony the base ended up being huge, so I ended up just using Rainbow as one of the supports. On the whole, eh, not one of my best pieces, and not one of my favorites. I did it over the course of a week and a half and I don't like doing projects piecemeal . I like to take a day off and just do a single woodwork for like fourteen hours, but it just can't happen these days. So here you have it. Want to see more? She has an expanded gallery over at My Little Woodcraft.
Okay, WOW. The platter detailing on the cloud and at the end of the rainbow looks absolutely fantastic. I love the whole dive bomb idea, and the wings are absolutely beautiful. You may not believe this is one of your best works, but the originality is just wonderful. I can't wait to display her proudly up on my shelf.
well I would agree it's not the best stuff you made so far- but the little 'rainbow splatter' details on the cloud makes it up a little bit! You keep going detailed on the wings, so I got nothing more against this!
