For
my second tentative step into the McGuinness pool, I opted to make
a Cassandra Batgirl, as she appeared in "Public Enemies."
This
wasn't a terribly difficult project. The base was an existing Superwoman
figure, which was just about perfect. I sculpted over the mouth
with Magic Sculpt and added the vinyl "stitches." A little
Magic Sculpt was also used to blend over the thigh-high boots and
create new calf-high footwear. The belt was removed and replaced
with a Mattel Batman. (Turns out it fits near-perfect once one pouch
is removed.)
I've
made a lot of Batgirls in several styles over the years, and this
is one of my favorites so far. The only unusual challenge was spraying
and painting the figure while the cape was still attached. (They
usually come off.)
