Thanks for your praise everyone! Man, this customizing stuff is fun. I wish I could work on stuff like this everyday.
Looking good. Here is advice! If your ever going to sculpt on a figure use FIXIT. I had a bad experience ruining figs by sculpting onto them with sculpy. So if your looking to sculpt try to avoid sculpy.
I am turned off by some of the qualities of sculpy, MA. I am not impressed with it's lack of ability to hold itself together after it hardens. These temporary molds I have been making like to crumble at random. I will have to keep a look out for Fixit. Have you had any experience with Miliput? It's a two part bonding/sculpting materiel.
Back to lady Mando. Using the crumbly sculpy, I made some more disposable molds to cast and trim up some more armor for her knees and lower legs. These pieces are going to have to be reshaped a bit to conform more closely to the shape of her legs. That shoulder pad is a casting from a snow ops cw rex figure that I still need to make a mate for.
I did get to try my new molds and while the vizla head had a bubble form in the mold right where one of her eyes is causing a resin glob to form while casting that isnt too hard to carve off, it still kills some of that eyes detail. I may attempt a first time ever fix to the mold of this problem when I make my next mold using some of the wet mold material to fill the little flexible air pocket in the eye area. This head may still turn out to be alright or if I really want her to look tough, I may fashion an eye patch for her. Other than that, I do like the vizsla head. I may have to heat and move some of her lower hair length so that it clears the upper body of the figure a bit.
