I was going to mash a few different pics together to show/hint at the process involved but my camera ran out of batteries (I swear this camera eats batteries like a kid eats candy around Halloween.)
Anyway, I'm planning on combining a part of a recast head from a 1/35 Yukari figure (I think it might have been a Wonder Fest sculpt because it's not one of the official ones AFAIK) with the injection molded body from a Hasegawa 1/35 MechatroWeGo. With some sculpted parts/modifications.
For the head, I'll be recasting the recast, which is why you see a brass rod sticking out of it in the picture. I'll spray it down with some silicon lubricant as a release and then apply some latex to it for a temporary mold. Planning on carving out the hair and doing some customization, so all I want is the face, which should save me some work and provide some consistency across any other figures I might use/make in terms of presentation.
Regarding the MechatroWeGo figure: I'm pretty sure this is a pretty new kit and the molding is pretty decent and crisp. BUT the fricking feet. I get that it's tricky to nail down details on this part the way it's done but can't help wondering why they didn't just separate the legs or feet. The shoes lost some detail and I had to do a little guess work and carve some out. I bent the feet inwards a bit. I don't think anyone's going to notice the knees don't quite line up, considering the scale.
