Hehe, the guessing game has concluded, and the pony has been revealed to be.... Lunarstar, from FlyingPony's Worlds Apart!
I decided to make Lunarstar because she and Worlds Apart hold a very special place in my heart. I discovered the story when I was little, while it was still being written, and absolutely fell in love with it. It had a big impact on me that still carries over to today, having gotten me started on some of my biggest hobbies. I figured no pony could possibly be more suited for my first ever proper custom than her.
Progress thus far...

I've started working on my custom! I'm posting update images as I go along, but so far I've not revealed who the custom pony is! Some of you will certainly know her, let's see if any of you can guess. :b
Guessing Game - One Rule
One question at a time per player - you may ask another question after I have answered.
Original Post:
So I'm finally starting my customs journey, after long looking forward to it! I know where to get the hair from, and I have my own bait pony ready to get started, but there are few more things I need and want to double-check (as a chronic over-thinker/mini Twilight), and I was wondering if you all could give me some of your recommendations?
Edit: Updating to mark off the items I no longer need:
Main thing I need:
Other things I need:
A re-hair toolTo know what size needle to use for said re-hair tool (I will be using G3s)- Tinsel and glitter that are as close to the official G3 types as possible
I will be using acrylics, but I want to thin them out a bit so they don't create so much texture on the pony. Should I use water or something else?Would Elmer's glue be fine for re-gluing the mane? Should I use something else, or no glue at all?I'm pretty sure you definitely need to glue it, right?- And any recommendations for getting the head off a pony who's neck is glued, other than the exact-o knife method? (going to try Lilykin's suggestions)
- Oh and I guess any recommendations for airbrush stuff too, I may not mess with that immediately though
