Custom Action Figure finished!!


A little side project has been taking up a bit of time lately - and finally finished! A custom 9" B'elanna Torres Voyager action figure, missing from the release of official figures - made for a bday present. The clothes/body were used from other figures, but the head is completely custom. Even made of plastic so it squishes a little like the real ones! Now back to armature making!

Hey, just curious... what kind of plastic did you use that squishes? Is it just regular resin, and squishes because it's thin, or some special blend? Sculpt looks great by the way!

Thanks Strider! I used pigmented rubber latex inside a plaster mold, with a little cheesecloth in the latex but not enough to make it too firm, and a core of Model Magic - so it's got a bit of give but bounces back.
