Awesome! I've got a spare Alice body waiting around for my Selene custom. Glad to see it works so well. Though I'm seriously considering saving it for whatever Alice looks like in the next/final movie, and going with a Catwoman body instead, whenever they get released.

The paint-up steals the show man. The best ever put out by you.

The bash stands up as well too.

I would definitely recommend the new Catwoman body over this one b/c from what I can tell the behind isn't as big on the Catwoman body as is with the Alice body. I also think the Catwoman as more tha a 90 degree bend at the elbow.

Thanks man!

I really really like the paint on this one, especially the eyes. These pics were with my phone b/c I couldn't get any good macro shots with the digicam. They kept coming out blurry

This was a fun custom though for sure. I learned a heck of a lot about hand sewing at 1/6 scale haha. I might give this to the gf who loves Underworld for her birthday but haven't decided yet.

She got friends ?


Well great job here man and yes the eyes are the highlight of the paint-up. Btw, have you thought of retailoring an Obi Wan (EpIV). I'm dead sure you have him on your detolf and I'd love to see a how much of a difference a Robe and a decent paint-up make. (I have seen Marf's but that's a singular example touched by a Master)

I was going to upgrade old been along with my other Obi-wan's, but I ended up selling my entire 1/6 Star Wars Collection. It sucks a bit but I really needed to narrow my collection. I've probably sold over 100 figures now but not just 1/6 but all scales. The only thing left I have from Star Wars is my Anakin PF that I'm not planning on selling at all. Love that piece.

Here are some better pics of the sculpt with my digicam

Wow that's great, love the way she looks with the jacket on. I'd like to see a custom viktor lol wish some company made a version like yours, I'd def get on that line.

I like her a bit more w/o the jacket but that's probably b/c a ton of work went into what's underneath the jacket and I like to see it I'm biased haha

Selene looks great. Well done.

Thank you

Re: *Paint Updates Po.437*-Gipetto's Workshop

For the last couple of weeks I've been working on trying to update my painting skills and using the 2-in-1 Superman sculpt as my practice canvas. I've also further upgrade the costume a bit (pics later of that). But I wanted to share with you guys what for me has been a bit of an achievement in painting these 1/6 figures. I've learned a lot about layering the paint to get different tones and pore like texture on the skin and better painting of the eyes such as a more believable iris (especially in hand).

For those who have been with me the whole way and remember my earlier repaints at the beginning, I want to thank you for all your encouraging words that have kept me going in this customizing hobby! I still have a lot to learn and I hope I can one day be as good as some of the many talented artist on this forum! Thank you again to all of you!
