My first ever custom. I used Marvel Legends Skrull Elektra for the body and Hope Summer for the head. Resculpted the hands and feet. Sculpted on the details and outline for the clothing. The face is bad though. Pro tip for me in the future: DO NOT mess with the face sculpts. Find a different head if the one you're using isn't quite right. Do not try to resculpt the details yourself. It's REALLY hard, especially at that tiny tiny scale. Paint rub makes me want to kill myself. Especially around the deltoid area. Eventually it got so bad that I had to basically dremel down the deltoid and widen the socket, in order to minimize paint rub as much as possible. I had read some tutorials before hand and learned of paint rub. However it's one of those things you can't really get a full understanding of until you actually start to do it. Especially for a first custom, I didn't know how important pre-prepping the figure was. For the logo, at first I was gonna try to make a stencil by cutting the letters out with an exacto. However, it proved to be extremely difficult to make it clean, especially with that small a font. Eventually I just went screw it and did it free hand. It's not great, but it'll have to do. I think it came out pretty decent for a first custom. Got a lot to learn though. It's very rough in some places. But it's a learning experience. I messed up a lot as I was doing it. Need to keep a couple things in mind for the next time. Specifically paint rub control, better, thinner, and cleaner painting, and a more thorough prepping of the figure before I actually start. ![]() |
