Hey everyone! So, thanks to Dod Ear, I'm posting here with a recent custom I've wanted to try. Like the Bolo Hale figure I put up, this is another character from a story I did. And much like Bolo, I have a miniature I made which is like a guide for what I want to do with a figure:
Yesterday my order of female figure parts came in. I've never worked with the female build of figures before, so I got some parts I feel sort of match, but could be used as practice pieces. And since I'm going for an 80's flashdance type of shirt, I was thinking about sculpting one. I haven't used Green Stuff or any other processes, so I wanted to try it with sticky tack for practice, just to see if it's possible. This is the result:
I think it came out alright. I've tried it a couple of more times with the sticky tack. I also tried to make the bracelets. That's more complicated.
Dod recently let me know Vitruvian Armory had the pants I was looking for and directed me to a couple of shirts that I could use to accomplish the same goal. I ordered them.
My main concerns now are finding a good female head to match, figuring out the shirt problem, looking for throwing knives in this scale (the only reason she has the big ones in the miniature was because of the limitations in Hero Forge's selection on knives)and the bracelets. I know Boss Fight has snake bracelets that might be close, but I'm still debating that.
Anyways, that's where I'm at with the planning on this third custom. The second one i'm currently working on is just missing the jacket piece and that's coming in the mail
