probably some of the Frankenstein DNA is in my blood, first throw away the building plan put everything in a bag, mix it. search for a sharp scalpel some wire and glue. Create with the anatomic parts some new figures.
It’s for 95% of my figures applicable, even for my busts. There is always something I have to change.
my latest work, love my dog
found a photo “thinking can I build it”

Starting from a MiniArt US
Cut away the legs and webbing, create a new one
Do the same for the helmet, create some new parts with apxie
You sure make it seem very simple… but it is mainly the apoxy sculpting part that would make it really diffiult for me. I have altered figures, but by cutting legs or arms in half and repositioning them, not by recreating arms and legs like you do… Very impressive, loved to see your progress on all those figures in all those topics.
For the fingers using Tamiya glue to get them soft than bend them in position,
for single fingers, it depends to the direction of you cut or saw them apart.
You can also use the glue to soften them for better cutting. Don’t overdo it with the glue.
The cup is just a sprue cutting to the right size and drill out
I have applied the first coats of paint, still a few things I want to improve on the painting work. But I like it so far from sculpting and converting.
