Thanks, Webs. Probably just me being anal, but the arms still bug me. I actually had the top higher on the body because it was a Fire figure, but when I decided to lower the cleavage line I actually had to sculpt the cleavage. I think they came out pretty decent, lol.

Yeah, it's from a folder divider. I credit my wife with the idea long ago when I was working on my first Phantom Lady. I was trying to use a clear piece of plastic colored green with a sharpie to minimal success when my wife came up with the suggestion. I'm now well stocked in folder dividers in multiple colors, though I've only used green so far for three Phantom Ladies and now Cupid.

Thanks. Justbe advised that the Dollar Store ones are thinner and don't adhere well

Packerbacker Customs Twist of Fate pg. 42

Postby packerbacker180 » Mon Nov 09, 2015 10:58 am

Honestly I've no clue what Mattel was thinking with their half gold, half yellow Doctor Fate variant. Well, actually they were probably thinking "we've already got yellow hands, feet, and a cape, let's save money by not making gold ones" because Mattel seems that stupidly cheap when it came DCUC. So make it all yellow or all gold. But both? Yikes. So I knew if I ever got one I'd have to repaint him. Since I was doing that anyway I gave him some New52 Superman lower legs that better fit Fate's more modern appearance. And a bright gold and metallic blue finished him off.

Ha, would've never thought Hector Hall would give him a second glance. Thanks, guys. I think he really pops. Special thanks to Webs for trading him to me!
