    Dinah re-paint

    Not sure who, if anyone, she is going to end up being yet but I had removed all the old paint a couple months ago and she has been waiting for a new face since then. This was a good distraction while I'm waiting for DAREDEVIL'S boots and gloves to dry.

    Holey Moley that's nice--lovely. I'm so envious of the folks here that can paint so well.

    It reminds me of how Mego tweaked the brunette Gals head deco from Wonder Woman to Isis and made a totally different, individuated character.

            That is Uhura all right. I completed the re-root almost a year ago with plans to do an Ertha Kitt Catwoman but am going to do something else now.

              Dang, bro! You are talented! I love it. The repaint really improves the zombie like non expression that figure always had. The eyes look as if they are staring right at you, and the re root of the scalp makes it look 100% better.

              As for the Dinah, she is great. Her eyes always resembled anime or manga eyes to me. Now she has a nice, human looking eye color.

              Now, if you can improve the horrid choice of eye color for the Mego Catwoman figure, and do something with that horrible haircut, you'd be good to go.

                  Wow like two completely different figures, just looks awesome, the Uhura make over is great!!!
                  Eartha Kitt Catwoman was a good idea, curious to know what your cooking up for her?

                    Wow, Dinah looks downright *human* after the repaint. That was quite an accomplishment. She always seemed so stylized, I didn't know that head could be found under there.

                          Thanks everyone. I truly just go into a zone with some of the detail work on painting and sewing. I just ordered some nail brushes on Amazon that have really fine points. I should be able to go even finer on some of the facial detail once I have those in hand. I'll post more pics as I go.
