Doing sweatpea first, as soon as i can get the wife to approve the headsculpt (so far both attempts rejected). Then Amber, then Blondie. Then maybe a 2 foot tall Giant Samurai Robot.  |

Thanks B20! I decided to re-sculpt Rocket's head as the crooked nose of the first really bugged me. I hate how I notice these imperfections only after I start painting. Again, i'm still not very good with likenesses but I hope you'll forgive an amateur's pride. I decided to go with sculpted hair this time because 1) I ran out of doll hair of the right color 2)I didn't like how the hair and hat came out the first time.     still on the assembly line...  |

Rocket has new boots. Behind her is the Trench Dio i'm working on. It still has to be painted.   More WIPs of the Trench Dio: This is the first time i'm making a dio so i'm learning as i go. I designed it to be modular so it can be easily moved and/or rearranged. It has three main panels made out of Sintra board (I had lots left over from my 1:1 airsoft MG34 build) and a styrofoam base.  I used balsa for the wood planks, and beat em up with a hammer. I used orthopedic casting material (I was too lazy to make my own) and tissue for the ground layers then applied a white glue-water-sand slush.     The closed i could find to 1:6 scale corrugated GI sheet: corrugated paper. The scale of the corrugations is too small for 1:6 though. Any other alternatives?  I do have a question for you veteran dio builders: When painting, do you prime everything 1st or go straight to the base colors? |

dogmeat16 - yeah! hehe. Finally close to finishing another of the Sucker Punch ladies: Blondie. Funny thing happened with the headsculpt for this one. As usual, I thought my first sculpt looked relatively OK until i painted it...then it didn't look like her at all. When i showed it to my wife, she said it kinda looked like Michael or Janet Jackson. And that's when i decided to ditch the original. I was about to resculpt when i spotted my Sweetpea ver 2.0 headsculpt lying around. I then compared it to the pics i had and, after an intensive nose job and repaint and hair transplant, i came up with what i think is a pretty good Blondie (relative to my amateur skills). From Left to right: Blondie 1st attempt -> Sweetpea ver 2.0 -> Blondie  Her outfit started as a Takara body suit i got loose. Modified it by removing the shoulder armor, lowering the neckline, and adding lots of pleather. The body is a modified Cygirl ver 1.0.
