Just a little freaky
Hi All, I am new to the forums, and fairly new to the world of modelling too! I thought i would try to upload a couple of pics of my Ripley custom that I plan on working on. As you probably know it's a Hero Head.... I love what FiguremasterLes and others have done to their HT sculpts...they really are brilliant.... but I do think that this sculpt is a more accurate likeness of Weaver....Whether it looks good painted up still remains to be seen, this is the first time I have picked up a brush in years!!! What I want to do ideally is create an accurate figure of Ripley as she appears at the end of the film looking for Newt, I also plan on scratch building an accurate diorama with lights to display her in, looking at some of the excellent dios on here has been an inspiration! As you can see, I havn't really made much of a start.....although i have washed and mucked up the clothing....one thing that worked well, although you cant see on this pic, was to soak her trousers in water with a little black paint added, then i put them back on the figure, bent the legs and put her on a radiator to dry, this resulted in the fabric losing its new stiffness and forming some nice creases that look very realistic. I REALLY want to find some gloveless hands for this figure but am a bit stuck, someone did suggest that some elizabeth swann hands might do the trick? does anyone have any info on this? Anyway thanks for lookin, this project might take me a good while to complete.... not got much free time at the mo, just thought I would show you what i am up to.
