Hi there!
Well, I had an extra Ms Marvel, and although this is a project I've tried before, this time I wanted to attempt to hand make a fiery phoenix base for her to stand on. Recipe follows: So, she started as Ms Marvel's body and hair. The face is from the Jean Grey figure, with the mask sanded down. Once she was prepped for the operating room, I painted her using various Testors Model Master Acryl and Games Workshop colors. Silver was first, then the translucent green and yellow. The hair was painted Scab Red and highlighted with International Orange. The lips were painted silver and clear red for a shiny look. The flaming Phoenix was made from scratch, and added to the Jean Grey figure base. Lastly, the tiny triangle on her belt was cut from a stencil sheet and painted with clear yellow. Thanks for your time! |

Oh yeah...I suppose I left that part out...
I took a couple of thicker-width twist ties that hold toys in the package, bent it into a frame after drawing a sketch, and then slathered it with hot glue for about 20 minutes. I was afraid it would remain tacky, but once the clear paint hit it it's like plastic! Now I need to figure out what is giving some of my pics that pinkish hue; I don't want to alter them.... Thanks everyone! I don't mean to clutter up your Joe board, but I always get such great responses so I thought I'd share.
