    Zira's New Hairdo

    I added more hair and repainted her face to get rid of the eyebrows and her lipstick. It's not the best photograph since I work better with natural light. But I think it's more true to her character (my apologies to all you Mego purists)...

    Per Critter2's question below, I used Apoxie air dry medium for the hair, and used a clear auto acrylic primer (learned my lesson, thanks to all involved).

    WOW! That really nails the character. Amazing what some hair resculpting and repainting does. Very impressed!

            Very Nice. It really does bring her together quite well.

                          Remarkable. I always loved how Zira looked in the movie, and while the Mego sculpt has it's own charm you've really captured that look. Bravo!
