    I want to make that but this is not my figure. Basically I think the foot would need to be heated and made pliable and bent into the proper shape, and then stuck in cold water to hold the shape. Then the heels would be added with a toothpick and air dry epoxy. And cloth to cover the legs and foot. Probably more air dry epoxy on soles and painted.

      I wonder if since lycra is a synthetic it could be manipulated with a heated object like a miniscrewdriver to get it to conform to the grooves between the fingers. I was thinking glue bleedthru would be a problem.

        I think using a different glue--say, thin epoxy--would allow you to press the fabric in between and around the fingers/hand without bleed-through.

        She's exquisite, I'm excited to see how you do her distinctive cape.

          One of my all time favorite designed and performed characters! Batgirl earned her Batty award for Fashion in Crime Fighting. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

            Look how cool this shot is!! I have since added matte to the rim of her mask, where there is a spot of shine.

                Good thinking! The matte looks more authentic to the original material.

                    Is that why nobody is writing to me?

                          This is how I imagined her cape. It is wired for poseability. I just love her!
