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.

That's a fantastic idea! I'm gonna have to use that sometime!

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.

Love that Mon-el!!!

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.

All excellent all the way!

Have a Happy Hallowe'en, from Lord Death Man:
