    Harley Quinn

    Hello everyone. Ever since seeing jessica's incredible Harley Quinn, I've wanted to do one just like it. This was the most difficult head paint up I've done to date; so many places where you really need to stay in the lines. She was a tough one, but well worth the trouble. Head is from eBay and painted by me. Body is a ZICA Yvonne. Neck piece is by me. Suit is from Austin, and I added the cuffs. I tried doing actual ruffled cuffs, but at this scale it proved to be a failed exercise in frustration. Knight shoes are from Doc. At first I thought they may be a little big and clunky for her frame, but I think they worked out well. Thanks for looking.

              Thanks everyone. Bronxboykev, I used Vallejo Model Color on this one, but I've used the cheap Delta Ceramcoat from the craft store also and gotten similar results. Whichever I use, I just thin the paint down to about 2:1 paint to distilled water, and do several thin coats.
