Shi'ar costume
LEFT: This is my first
Polaris custom
action figure. It's not really "mine" because I didn't make it. I just
paid for it. I found a very nice, talented guy on EBay that does custom
figures and asked if he would give Polaris a try. He was more than
willing
and we are both really happy with the way she turned out. If you would
like information on how to order a figure from EDArt or have any
questions
about doing so, please let
me know and I'll be glad to put you in touch with him!
RIGHT: When I ordered the
other figure from EDArt I chose the Shi'ar uniform because it was so
intricate and difficult that I didn't think that I would ever be able
to achieve it myself. Now that I've gotten LOTS of practice I
decided to give it a try, and I'm really pleased with the
results. The base figure is a ToyBiz Aurora figure. I gave
her a bit of a hair cut in the back and filled in the details of her
uniform with epoxy putty before sanding down to a smooth, lineless
base. Her boots and gloves are the PERFECT shade of metallic
black/green (only it didn't show up in the picture. sigh.) Her
collar-thingie is painted toothpaste tube.
