Ok... I think it's pretty obvious who my FAVORITE pony is...

So I figured it was high time I started a "brag" thread for her... especially since she's the main reason I've returned to actively collecting and customizing ponies...
Yup... it's a GUSTY Brag thread for me!

I'll try to keep all of my brags related to her, contained to this thread...
**
UPDATE: 12/20.... A few new members to my Gusty Army! **

YAY! I have a few new Gusty's to add to this thread!
First up... I received a box from hannaliten... and inside... Rehaired White Unicorn goodness!!!
If I wasn't headed outta town for Christmas... I'm sure I would be upstairs in my studio... painting on these gals! I can't WAIT to see them all done!!!
Thank you hannaliten!

You are a star!!!
Next up... a pleasant surprize...
I received a SS Gusty in the mail this week... and she was in less than stellar condition. For some strange reason... I decided to try deflocking her. I didn't intend to deflock her all in one shot... btu once I got going... I could see hints of how pretty and white she was underneath her nasty flocking... so I just kept going!
I just LOVE how her eyes are a slight different color than Regular US Gusty... AND UK Gusty!
Last... but certainly not least...

NBBE Gusty joins the army!!**
WOOHOO!!! I still can't believe it! It this what it feels like... after almost 30 yrs... to FINALLY add the ONE pony you've ALWAYS wanted... to your herd!?
All I can say is... *SQUEE!!!!*

:cheer:
How can ANYONE resist that face!?!?
And here she is, reunited, at last... with her momma!
Even though the tippy tip of her horn is a bit chewed on... I don't care! I FINALLY FINALLY haev a NBBE Baby Gusty... and I LUVZ her!!!!
What could POSSIBLY beat this!?
And of course... the token \"Army\" shot!

******************************************
So let's see what I have to start it off...
First up, and main reason for my desire to start this thread... is this wonderful, minty MINT Gusty... that I happily traded a childhood pony for....
Here she is, with my original Gusty (braided tail)... I mean...

She puts my old gal to SHAME!
My camera is still lying... my original isn't as white as she looks... but...
Wow... I'm still amazed at how bloody perfect this Gusty is!!!

I mean... I didn't realise just how... PURPLE... Gusty's leaves are supposed to be!

My poor gal... hers are almost silver these days...
You can see their difference better at this angle...
And look... BLUSH!!!

I dunno WHEN my Gusty last had blush!
And here she is... with her new UK sister too...
Baby Gusty wanted to join in too! (MAN what I wouldn't give for a NBBE Baby Gusty!!! *hopes*)
GUSTY.... POWER!!!
yup... I didn't get carried away at all.
Next... my Dollymix Gusty finally arrived today! (I won her a few weeks ago on ebay...)
She's so... TINY!

I dunno why I thought she'd be bigger... but... come to find out she's just TEENY!

I love her!
And here we go... an \"army\" group shot...
I can't wait until I have some new customs... or new G1 additions to show off!

Still looking for a nice SS Gusty... and *sigh* a NBBE baby!
That's all for now.

Thanks for letting me share.
