After a slight shrink on the Building a better Bombstrike project I'm working on I decided to try my hand at the SDCC Baroness head. Although It's a little stylized for my tastes,it is quite nice. Only issue is once again it's too big. It got the 5% shrink,and a repaint just like Bombstrike. I think I'll mod the 50th body to look more combat ready? To better fit the head with the Mic. still waiting for the glasses to dry,then I'll add gloss coat to the glasses lenses..
Gonna lower the head a little too...just don't have my dremmel with me:(

Wow, the original looks like a bobble head compared to the 5% shrink.

Too be honest the figure looks great as is. The head size looks good and the neck should be slightly visible otherwise she looks like she has no neck with the high collar on her top. Or just send her to me, I'll give her a good home

That is incredible and your painting skills are top notch. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind a quick explanation for how the shrinking process works. I've asked this before in some other thread but think it got buried before it got answered. I understand the basics of casting, and am a pretty knowledgeable customizer, but I could not even hazard a guess at how you accomplish a shrink.

Thank guys! It's meh to me,..Not my best work,and I'm spoiled by the detail in the larger figures now. Something hasbro just can't compete with.
As for shrink casting in a nut shell "evaporation". Either casts that shrink or molds that shrink...I try to avoid casting questions on this site. I try to keep it more about the custom then the actual production to keep within the rules of this awesome forum
