So I don't have a new "finished" custom to post on the blog this week, but I do have a new WIP to add to the Nightsister project I am making for Elias' b-day present. Ever since I got home from work yesterday at 11am, I have been I customizing. I can't believe I stayed up through the night. I just want to make sure I get done on time. I took a nap from 5:30am to 7:30am, but otherwise I've been hard at work. I'd really like to have all four figures done by tomorrow, but we'll see. I still have a lot to do. Anyway, here is where the project is at right now:
I'm redoing the soft goods on Talzin and making them longer like they should be. So far I have only cut the side pieces, but the fabric needs to be trimmed and sewn so they do not fray once they are permanently fixed into place
Since the last update we did for this post, I changed out the Nightsister's hands that came with the figure for the Aurra Sing hands which I think look way better.
I also used a second Nightsister action figure to elongate Mother Talzin's legs at the thigh and calves and have started to sculpt them to be more screen accurate. Both legs are sculpted now and I'm waiting for the Apoxie Sculpt to harden on the left leg of the figure so I can start the final paint application.
I just need to sculpt in the straps on Ventress' gauntlets and shin guards. I just finished the hooded Ventress head sculpt and only need to sculpt the ninja mask Ventress head. and then paint them both.
I finished the unhooded head sculpt for this Nightsister.
I just need to make some slight modifications to the hilt of her sword and she will be finished.
This Nightsister is also nearing completion. I just has to wrap up the paintwork on the alternate unhooded head sculpt for this figure and she will be ready for play.
Unfortunately, these figures will no longer be entered into the ISY 5th Birthday Contest. Before the contest was announced, I had posted my two Nightsiters when they were WIP over here at ISY and also over at Yakface because I din't have a finished custom for the blog that week and I wanted to at least provide our audience with something new to look at. When they announced the contest over here, ISY said I could still enter the Nightsister figures because they were not finished figures. Unfortunately, I don't think Yakface read my post and they featured my WIP Nightsisters in their Customizer Mega Spotlight. It was a huge honor, but it put me out because they were featured at another site. At least it was a super complimentary review of the figures
