Made my wife into a GI JOE

[raginspoon]

I made a self custom of my wife in joe form as a anniversary gift to her. Just wanted to share it with you guys.

I sculpted parts of the face and the hair from a star wars figure
Torso: Zarana, cast sanded down and sculpted over.
Upper Arms: Lady Jaye
Lower arms: Zarana
Skirt: Custom made and cast
Upper legs: Baroness modded for double joint and sculpted to thigh high boots
Lower legs: cover girl
Boots: movie Baroness

here is a comparison picture if you need one

You have a very cute wife, man.

FYI, you didn't need to steal those lower arms from Zarana. They're the same as the Resolute Baroness!

I would make a custom of us (me and my girl) but there's not a body type for either of us that I would dare make. Haha.

Well that's pretty damn cool Spoon. That came out nice for all the extra you had to put into it. Is that a belly button piercing you put on there? If so good work on the details. What did she think of it?

 

[Keenan]

Very cool. Nicely done.

 

[Homer]

What a great and thoughtful idea man! As geeky as it is, there is no way anyone wouldn't appreciate the amount of thought that went into a gift like this!

How did she like it?

 

[Cloud Strife]

Very cool!! Excellent job on the sculpting and paint!

Thank you sir. I cast the whole thing so I should be able to put the zarana back together. I didn't do any mod work to the original parts. The soft plastic they use on the torso's makes it hard to sand down thin enough.

Thank you too. Yes that is a belly button ring. She loved it. Thought that it looked just like her.

Thank you sir. That means a lot coming from a guy that does awesome sculpt work.

The figure looks great (and your wife is quite attractive). Nice work!

I'm also working on a mini version of my wife, to go with my Mini-Me.
