xstoys Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi all, Here is my newest creation, the 1/6 scale custom scratch build "Sailor Minmay." Her outfit is entirely custom made from real "off-the-rack" clothes & hair has actually been re-rooted to match the blue hair color in the original "Minmay Guard" illustration. Enjoy!

ChristopherB Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 You did a really good job! It must have been a lot of work to re-root the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_vandermeer Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 And if folks hadn't noticed, the lock of hair that's twisted and resting on her shoulder is identical too! Now how's THAT for attention to detail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bariaburu Faita Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Very impressive. My feeble headswaps pale in comparison. I long to have true conversion skills like you em/bows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosarioLuv Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 (edited) that is so cool! (are you the isamu creator too? can you pose them side by side?) I like those seamless excellent doll bodies (rubber flesh over plastic endo skelotons), but I wish there was a way to make the elbows and knees bend without making it look like one of those Gumby/Pocky bendy toys. I always wondered if they could have a hollow rubber mold for the body filled with gel that displaces when certain joints are bent (like elbows and knees) sorta the same way our own real skin/muscle displaces to make room for when we bend our limbs. btw, how did you get the skirt to stay like that? Is it sewn that way? Or did you starch it somehow? Or did you just manage to pose it that way? Must be some top quality linens to be able to show those ruffles at that small scale.

bigkid24 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 btw, how did you get the skirt to stay like that? Is it sewn that way? Or did you starch it somehow? Or did you just manage to pose it that way? Must be some top quality linens to be able to show those ruffles at that small scale. I asked him the same question and it's wire in the hem of the skirt. Ah, this is old news. I've already seen it. Just kidding. Great work. More people need to make customs of the characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 One thing that bothers is her legs. They are fine but her inner legs have some stuff that needs to be sanded out or something. Is that how it comes like when you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
