I don't really post customs here very often, but thought I'd share my custom Corps female figure. I was so inspired by the look of the MTF Valkyries I wanted to do a Corps version. I cut off her shoulder pads and dremeled down her torso pouches and backpack. The hair was cut off and I sculpted her a new shorter hairdo. I sculpted some wrinkles as well as the shirt collar. I mainly do custom Corps figures because my love for that brand (had a lot of the o-rings as a kid) and the easy custom swapping ability of parts (yes, I am too lazy to crack open a modern Joe torso and I enjoy just unscrewing the back lol).
Here is her backstory for those that care to read it. Dr. Kate Dunn was head of Research and Development for Defense Management Alliance. She did not set out to be a weapons engineer for a private military contractor, but falling in love with its founder wasn't something she planned on either. Dunn worked closely with Conner Bradic (AKA Bolder) at his former tech company. The research on nanotechnology was cutting edge and she saw the potential for both good and bad with it. As Conner set out to save the world with his research, Kate was lured away by Daniel Burke and Defense Management Alliance to head up the research and development's nanotechnology division. Top secret advances were already being made at DMA prior to learning that Plague, formerly known as Shadow, stole Bradic's research to develop super soldiers. Dunn, who had been trained in weapons and defense by Burke since her arrival at DMA, knew her research needed to be protected at all costs and carries that research with her wherever she goes. With her trusted silenced firearm, she not only protects her research from The Curse, but also is taking the fight to Plague as part of DMA's allied forces with The Corps! |

that's a pretty amazing transformation. I don't know how you paint eyes that well, but if I could do that I'd be terribly happy.

Big thanks to everyone for their kindness and encouragement. As a new customizer, it's nice to hear feedback from others and it is much appreciated.
I do paint eyes, but I can't take credit for these as they are still the factory paints. Thanks for the kind words! |
