And I'm still working up the courage to take out the arms of Kaylee's iconic jumper... and layed out the patches... a bit big, but I don't think I can do better
The flash makes her red heart look yellow!
Anyway, I have a little problem in that her head connector is ... different. It is a full socket, and well glued in. It fits the phicen 25b ball but is slippery causing River's head to slump around. I'm thinking a lining of... I don't know? rubbery stuff would help it make traction on the stainless steel ball, but I have no idea what to coat the socket with? The thing is super glued in and I don't see an easy way to take it out
Ugh, that nose is driving me crazy, It's not so noticeable in person, but the paint shows up so strongly in photos
She does look really good, you got her eyes spot on. This is as close as I ever got digitally:
The face was a custom texture and really helped the likeness. I tried and tried with existing textures, but, could never find one that looked right. I did the underlying face in Poser years ago and it took me months and months and over 9 attempts before I got to something I liked. I studied every pic of Summer I could ever find and noted every detail. She has so many imperfect features, if just one is off it stands out a mile.
You've done really well!
CHEERS!
