Making custom Gusty blind bag

[Shiromisa]

My friend's favorite pony from when she was a kid was Gusty. I've been batting around the idea of making a custom past-gen blind bag pony for a while, and this looks like a good one to start with! Google images tells me she's a unicorn with deep green and pink hair, and a leaf cutie mark. Right now, I'm debating these things:

1.) Rarity or Twilight mold?
2.) 1 or 3 leaves in the cutie mark?
3.) What kind of paint/primer/sealant should I use?

Any info would be appreciated, thank you! :LOL:

I myself have never done a custom, but I think twilight pose would be easier, but rarity pose would suit gusty more. As for the cutie mark, I would do three leaves. For the paints and sealants I cannot help, but I hope I helped in some way ^^

I have found that liquid/ink acrylics, finished with a Games Workshop matte varnish, works pretty well
