Hey guys!

Just wanted to share a custom I started last year, but just couldn't find the time to complete (actually its still not complete), just wanted to get some comments and some advice on how to finish it.

The chaps are from a 1/6 Rebecca cowgirl figure, but I don't know where and how to get the silver buttons around the costume. In the meantime, the ones you see in the pictures are just stickers.

For the tassles, I just use ribbons, but I want to find a material that's soft so it won't stick out straight.

For the costume I just bought some leather and super glued everything together. I know zip about sewing, so if anybody here has any skill in putting a costume together, I would certainly use your advice and help. (or if there's any past attempt at a Nancy costume, do share the pictures or customizer, I would really want to get in touch with them)

I'm a first time painter, so this is something I did last night, took almost four hours and I still think there might be something off about it. (the eyes come to mind since that took the longest to do) But in the meantime I don't wanna touch it right now, might mess it up. My wife thinks the eyebrows might be too thin, I kinda agree with it.

It's still far from finish, I'm waiting for the holster/belt from Stevo Toys, currently in transit. I still need to put tassles on the chaps, but I wanna find first a softer material, or just have someone do it for me. And I'm still missing a hat, which I might ask Stevo to do once he accept orders again.

Anyway, will appreciate any and all comments! Thanks for looking

That looks darn good. One of the better proportioned female figures I've ever seen.
 
Re: My Attempt at a Sin City Nancy figure WIP

I like it! Looks really good. I'm really impressed how you got the outfit together, especially if you did the top and sleeves yourself.

Is that a recast of the Sue Storm head? I think the skintone is great, agree about the eyebrows. And might lessen the purple in the lips. Hard to tell on the eyes, but look pretty good to me.
 
Re: My Attempt at a Sin City Nancy figure WIP

Thanks guys!

Yup, use the Sue Storm head, and its not a recast! Yeah, now that I look at it, the lips do look a bit purplish! haha!

Well, here are some more photos, now with the belt made by Stevo Toys!

I love the headsculpt...but the face is a bit small I think, and the head doesn't go all the way into the neck. There's a slight gap between the head and the neck.

head might be a bit small, still thinking if I should get one of those Phicen bodies.

the head looks perfect on the Kumik body....but the body's skin tone is a little pale.
 
Re: Sin City Nancy figure with Kumik head on page 2

Hmm... the new head has more polish, but I think I prefer the shape and proportions of your original one.

BTW, every time I see this I read the title as "Sid and Nancy Custom" :lol
 
Re: Sin City Nancy figure with Kumik head on page 2

wow, this is great, let me ask, how did you do the bra and gauntlets? and were did you get the fantastic 4, is that a barbie uniform, again great customs, thanks..
