Here's one of my latest customs in progress. "Calvary" Last-Fight Lilah. She is a commission.
"Those evil geniuses... they get you every time."
Recipe: Matrix Niobe figure. I sanded down her hair and part of her torso. I then sculpted her hair and part of her shirt, and lengthened her pants on one leg.
I have had this figure in my custom fodder box for over a year now, and I finally found a use for it. Not only does she have a great pose for this scene, but her face also has Lilah's facial structure. I only hope it will turn out as good as I want it to.
On this figure I used a new sculpting clay called Apoxie Sculpt. Once you mix the two compounds together you get about 1-3 hours of work time before it gets too hard to work with. It's self hardening, so that means no baking or boiling. It then cures overnight. It works pretty well, the only downside is that it's rather sticky for the first hour of work time, then it gets more manageable. Usually I only use these for my Marvel customs since they're made from a cheaper plastic (that melts easily), but I decided to give it a try on Lilah because of the pose, I didn't want one of her limbs to melt funny.
I will be painting her tomorrow.
