This weeks Marvelous Custom was done by
Dravenhart who created a 4" Marvel Universe style X-Force Spiral figure. Here is how he describes the making of the figure:
"Spiral is one of those characters I always thought would be fun to make, but procrastinated endlessly as I didn't want to mess with those arms. Recently, a request came in, so I had to give her a shot. Specifically for her X-Force design. Thankfully. I don't know how I would have gone about her head for her regular design. Whew.
Initially, I tried to make all the arms fully mobile, but trying to get them fitted to the body wasn't working. Kept destroying bodies. So, I asked around, and was given a great tip. If you angle the arms differently, you can secure the shoulders in place for more durability, and still give the illusion of full articulation. Since the upper arms themselves still move. So, I dremeled in and glued the shoulders in place. Then, I sculpted up the fur on her boots. In two parts, so they would stick out better. Then, I gave her the full repaint and some swords to finish her off. Not too bad once I got past the arms themselves. Will definitely look into giving her another shot in the near future.
Recipe:
Body/Arms - MU Valkyrie x3
Hair - MU She-Hulk
