ScrollBoss Bonus

Process:

Took the Marvel Select Psylocke figure and sanded it down entirely.

Sanded the chins of each one (of the 2) heads down slightly.

Took off the long pieces of belt that streamed down and sanded that area smooth where it was connected at waist.

Cut the hair into a V on the head with the closed mouth expression. (See photo above for reference)

Trimmed back some of the hair by the left eye on that same head.

Just enough to indent a hole, lightly drilled into the separated sections of hair to eventually shove wire into. (3 in each)

Shoved aluminum wire in hair holes with a dab of super glue.

Sculpted some hair on head including adding a long strand down the right side of face.

After sculpt dried painted top of head's hair with 1 coat to see how it looked.

Using Aves, added sculpt to chest, thighs, calves, and feet.

Added a lil sculpt around each wire. (Also where it connects to hair)

Took purple foam sheet and cut into strips then super glued them between and on top of aluminum wires for hair.

Sanded the figure after all sculpt was set.

Painted everything the appropriate color including both heads and all of the alternate hands.

Drew bands around thighs using a felt tip sharpie to match a similar pattern to sprite's.

Painted the line spaces for the bands.

Using mostly neon pink paint, mixed with water, lightly repainted the translucent psychic effects to give a brighter hue. Note: Even though the hair is meant to be moderately bendable, still use cautious pressure when doing so.

An example of the finished hair that is able to be bended into different positions.

For Your Consideration:

A few extra modifications that you could do with yours to make this fig even more accurate than mine: -A large variety of psychic energy effects and butterflies. -Can try recreating bendable hair. -It might be an even better option to use the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Psylocke to create your custom. It will certainly allow for an even greater range of poses. (If you can think of any more please feel free to comment.)

"Let's go, bub." Logan is his sprite stance pose.

For Your Consideration:

A few extra modifications that you could do with yours to make this fig even more accurate than mine: Add a little more sculpt to bicep and thighs. Trim claws slightly. Get more specific with skin tone and hair on arms. (If you can think of any more please feel free to comment.)
