![[Squirrel Girl] Alrighty where to start, this is my second custom and I decided to go with a less common take on squirrel girl. I found some really nice images of this costume where she looks almost pinup style.
recipe:
legends mystique + lotsa sculpting
all of the fur and hair not including the tail were done with aves apoxie.
The tail required a lot of creativity to get the right look and size without the weight,
after trying about 15 different materials and getting nowhere, I thought to myself what if i used that green foamy stuff they use for like floral arrangements!?? so i picked some up from my local craft store and started carving. Once i had the right look I added about ten coats of mod podge to stiffen up the soft foam and it worked!!

The recipe: a punisher figure from super hero showdown series, cut off all of the dangly bits and dremeled out the face.
The entire head is custom sculpt and was insanely difficult to do at this scale (I may eventually re sand the face and smooth it out a little but it still looks pretty dope)
The shoulder pads, chest armour and jet pack are all made from scratch using aves apoxie.
The helmet is from a luke skywalker figure and has been modified sanded and sculpted with apoxie and is removable (antenna are just painted paper clips :)
Paints were a mix of citadel's and tamiya's The paint job is pretty straight forward, I may dry brush a lighter red eventually but I'm satisfied with it.
I really enjoyed making this and I'm definitely hooked. It feels kinda natural being a comic artist, so let me know what you think, constructive criticism is alwa](userimages/customs/30000/29802-1.jpg) Ant-Man (Eric O'grady) Marvel Legendsby Goosemon420Alright, so this is my first custom and first time using apoxie sculpt, I've never even done a repaint, but overall I'm pretty happy with it :)
