Wonderful. Thank you for the help!

I think the biggest challenge with White Witch will be weight: how to sculpt the hair and forearm sleeves while keeping the figure balanced and standing correctly!.

Hey Doc, have you ever tried balloons for sleeves? I did it with my Enchantress and was really happy with the results.

HectorHall, are you suggesting an un-used ballon as the folds of cloth in a sleeve?

Very interesting idea. I would wonder about the balloon rubber tolerating paint and the rubber deteriorating over long term.

Honestly, I sit down with a picture of what I want and start sculpting very specifically. I have to make an "Earth-D Atom" as a commission (?) and I'm doing this with the Nehru jacket on a DCUC Kid Flash buck.

I try to find a balloon with the right color. I did it with Enchantress about two years ago and I have not seen any deterioration. The method is so simple that I would have no problem getting another balloon if they did. Party City and those types of stores have just about every color you might need.

Doctor Fate and Fate of the World ... are the same person ... the reason for two accounts is to add more photographs to this forum.
