Once again Mattel
managed to offer fans a figure using generic parts that might not
have been made otherwise. This is a fine strategy. However, there's
simply no excuse regarding how far off some of these paint jobs
are. This
second version of Huntress needed a complete overhaul, and a lot
more detail added.
I used the included
cape, cutting off the neck and shoulder portion. Employing the "wrap
and shape" method, I built up the upper and shoulder portions
of the cape. The epoxy construct was glued to the existing cape,
with some tape hidden underneath for support. A Hasbro Talia donated
the gun holster and pouches. The belt and buckle are vinyl. The
larger boot and arm straps are shaped from Magic Sculpt.
Despite the
appearance of the photograph, the dark colors are dark purple, not
black.
Amazingly, I
didn't do anything to the head, save add some eye highlights.
I'm really pleased
with the results.
