Thanks. That's really encouraging.

Thanks! Yeah, I should have planned out the figure design and colors BEFORE ordering parts

The nibs that help keep the halves together usually break off, but a little Crazy Glue around the edge takes care of that come re-assembly time.
Also...seeing you painting Cover Girl’s head helped me make the decision to use that same “Athena” head for my Scarlett custom and give her the Ginger treatment.
Great job! I’m looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.
Thanks for the advice and how to. I'll try that next time I get a torso. And good luck with the Scarlett custom. Something I might tryin the future is just taping/masking off the skin/face to make painting easier.

Thanks, but I guess I should have just ordered it with blonde hair. How about I tell everyone the blonde was sold out so that's why I started with brown
Thanks again everyone for the advice, feedback and encouragement.
