Looks great!

She's getting there. Mostly done I think, I still need to do something to her upper eyelid/the shape of her eyeball but I'll be darned if I know what right now.

Looking mighty fine, love it.

Miles better than the HT turd.

Thanks, Seb. You're probably a good person to ask this to, I imagine you've got examples of most brands of body lying around your lab... I've been making her on a Triad body, do you know how much higher the Hot Toys female neck connector goes than the Triad neck connector?
I'd like to make it so my wax master is hollowed out enough to be cast to fit onto the HT Boss figure's neck without requiring extra drilling for each individual casting, but I'm not too keen to spend $65 on a HT body just to check that one little thing so any advice your could give would be appreciated.

Well the length of the triad neck is apporx the same as a HT female body.

The triad neck is a bit thicker.
The little ball that connect to the head is also a bit smaller.

Ah cool, I thought from photos that it looked like the HT ball/peg came up further into the head than the Triad cone/peg did but that makes things easier if they're similar.

Latest little tweaks, as ever her jaw looks wider in the photos than in hand:

I think she's pretty much done now. I'll sculpt the bandanna onto a resin casting later.

Beautiful. That last shot with the eyes and headband is a killer.

She is so awesome. Any idea on the pricing at this stage?

Will this not be offered out as well?

Very nice work on the Boss head. She's looking great. Did you do her clothes too? If so, it looks amazing!

Oops, I thought I'd posted the following in this thread as well, but looks like I only posted in the Snake thread:

"Thanks for all your comments guys! The two leads of MGS3 are really the biggest labour of love I can imagine sculpting, such great characters.

Unfortunately it looks as though I still won't be able to sell any of my castings in the near future. I always feel like a bit of a **** posting pictures and then saying no-one else can have any yet, but believe me it's even more frustrating for me! I'm stuck in kind of a crappy situation which I don't have a say in (and I'm not really comfortable going into details about with strangers) but basically it means I can't sell stuff until it gets resolved and I've no way of knowing when it'll be resolved in advance."

Thanks! Yep, The wetsuit, BDU and Fulton Harness are all scratch built. The BDU's a bit darker than her's in the game and I was going to order a lighter colour from spoonflower but the dark one's grown on me now so I think I'll keep it how it is.
