WolfDreamerNZ Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I have a few things I am finishing up right now and am ready for a new project. Looking through my overstuffed cupboard I thought I would try out one of the Seil girls I have. They are 75mm white metal figures - which they class as erotics. Some are more tame than others to say the least. (They have a thing about sculpting full view female genitalia) I picked up Lion Baby and Pirate Girl years ago and never painted them. I was concerned about getting smooth blends on such a large area as I don't have an airbrush. Now I'm ready to give her a try. Concept wise - here is the original box art "Lion Baby"- and only version of her I can find: I have a different idea in mind. Not to be a prude but I just didn't see the point in having exposed "bits" in this figure. So I am trying my first minor conversion (bar a few weapon swaps). Here's what I am working with: I thought her features were fine enough I could pull her off as a Native American woman. I didn't like the strappy high heels - I'm thinking moccasins with leather strapping. So I cut off the heels and filed the toes to a not so pointy look. Then I created a fringe at the top of the boot with Tamiya putty (very sticky stuff). I had trouble joining her left arm so I added a decorative wrap and took the tie ends from her blouse and put it on the arm wrap. Now pants - I couldn't sculpt entire pants - but I started thinking about doe skin breeches. So I will leave her legs as is - but I added a waistband/belt and a bit of fringe to the top of her exposed leg. We'll see if it's enough when painted to pull it off. Cub - I liked the idea but thought a lion cub was a bit plain and didn't suit my idea of her. So looking around I came across a few really nice cougar cub pictures. I hope this gives the cub a bit more personality. Rug: Going in that same theme - I found some Navajo rug and blanket patterns I liked and a Kokopelli dancer I may use. I haven't really decided on colours yet but as she and the cougar will both be lots of neutral colours, maybe I should make the rug stand out - just not as much as in the box pic. Then there is the hardwood floor and I am unsure about the roses in the corner of the rug - they look really out of place - have to decide what to do with them. Okay - letting her putty dry and then on with the primer....this should be fun. While thats' happening - I'm going to work my rug design out on paper...more soon!

haldir Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 looks like a neat project, nice to have great ref pics like you do. to be honest with you, I've never really seen the point of a model depicting full nudity as well, granted I'm a guy & photos of real models, well that a different thing . I could see that mini having a bikini or a pair of short Daisy Duke style shorts & still be a good model. can't wait to see how your conversion will look once it's all done up RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDreamerNZ Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Another WIP I am resurrecting. I got her all primed and the first layer of skin and pants done before I stopped last Feb. She made the trip much better and I will just need to fix one small flake on her breast and we're away. Her skin and pants won't be as close in colour when I'm finished....

PurityThruFire Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Seil really puts out some gorgeous stuff. I know the flaunting of naughty bits isn't up everyone's alley but if it is done tastefully then I see no problem. However, I am interested in seeing what your plans are for her...and conversions...no matter how small are always fun to watch take shape. Good luck with her.
