So, I haven't stop and won't stop! Until I finally learned the ways
of those professional customizers. This will be my third try and yes I did focus on
building my own X-Force team. The first two I created was X-Foce X23 - the first one as
see over this
which was created out of pure interest.
And for my third try I'll be recolouring the old Marvel Legend
to turn into her X-Force uniform. I was actually thinking of the Marvel now Psylocke but I lack information about it so
the X-Force Uniform has to push through.
So Basically, I named this Project - "Project Psylocke" - wonder why? The dumbest thing I actually did was
I edited the figure while it was still in it's tight joint condition. I got the Psylocke Figure in MOC Condition well
no doubt I'll open it but the dumb part was I used it on it's tight joint condition. Well the damage was done so, I had
to look for a loose figure of her.
So the first thing I actually did was to took off the head - the original plan was to coat it without breaking it apart
aside from the head and use tapes to cover parts for the details.
Well the outcome was bad. Some parts wasn't covered by the paint leading to a bad paintjob - although the head was almost
ok. The Hair wasn't change because I might find it hard to repaint the dashes of purple.
So the only choice - disassemble the figure that took me an hours just to break the torso apart. Arms and Legs was easier to pull
out jsut remember to soften them with hot water or blow them with hair dryers.
Then paint each part one by one. Adding details in the head and adding a scrap sword from the scrap bootleg Figma BRS that I have.
Adding the red paint in the her stash instead of using white. The original X-Force design has a white sash but I decided to use
red instead.
Then remold the Right Arm by cutting them into three separate parts and add a tiny amount of epoxy to make it able to
hold the sword.
Then drying and airing them for awhile depending on what paint you'll use. Then making sure no joints are destroyed
because of excess paints.
Test to fit if they still blends in with each other.
Then clearing everything before you permanently glue evrything. Adding more details - originally I was planning to add a little
weathering effect but I decided not to since I failed over the details in the face.
Then Gluing everything.
Then there you go, my recoloured X-Force Psylocke. Not accurate and I still have a problem over the joints
wherein paints are chipped everytime it's moved.
Although I am proud though taht I was able to succesfully make it hold the scrap katana.
Thank you guys for sparing your time reading, please do comment on what do you think of my recoloured Psylocke. Any feedback
are helpful in order to learn.
Note: Here's a comparison between the old and new - I bought a loose figure just to make sure I still have a Psylocke.
