custom lady deathstrike

[hakaider]

hola,
this will be my first post on the forums, so please be gentle to the newbie...lol. anyway, i'm about to start on a custom Lady Deathstrike. it's going to be a combination of her Ultimate comic form and Kelly Hu in X2. kinda like this....


i have a good plan laid out for the body, hands, clothing, etc. i was just curious if anyone had an idea where i could find a good female head, with an Asian look, for this project???

[hakaider]

sorry. i really should of posted this one as "custom lady deathstrike question." hope i didn't get too many ppls' hopes up on seeing another cool custom. my bad.

welcome to the forum. The Asian female head is the toughest question in Megoland. About the only sugestion I can make is to find a good Resin head,... then you can manipulate the eye's so she apears Asian. Looking forward in seeing what you come up with.

I recommend Lori's Site...She has a bald Female Head that could be painted to look Asian(and She sells Mego size Wigs).

thanks a lot for the tips, guys. i've actually been checking out Lori's site quite a bit lately. i've found a resin head on there i think i may be able to make work, and if nothing else, i'll just take BlackKnight's advice and do a little "eye manipulation."
hopefully i'll have some work done on it soon, and will have something to post. i'm in the process of moving right now (ugh!), so there hasn't been a whole lot of time for customizing.

What about using this one as a basis? It's from the Space 1999 Sandra Benes figure by CTVT.

i like that head

[The Bat]

I like that Head...but weren't the CTVT'S Space 1999 Heads a little to big for the Bodie's?

[YANOULI]

Yeah, just a bit but it's not hard to shrink it down a bit with Hydrospan.

If anyone wants a copy let me know and i'll do it.
