Hello my friends, it's been a long time since I did something with figures.
Today I started converting a female figure of Preiser's WW2 US Airfield Personnel. The rather sexy lady has to become an icon of Mary. I need this figure to complete my 2nd house of my "Wilkommen !" diorama.

This is the house, you see where I will add her :



These are the materials I use for the job :



Here's a bad photo of the progress on Mary, the orange thing on the left is a finger to show how small it is :



I hope you like it, I'll update soon for there's stsill a lot to do.

Hi Guy,

Looks like some very fine work you've had to do there. So, given that you might have gigantic (or should that be guygantic? ) thumbs, how big does the dear lady measure?

For a 1/72 sculpt it looks really good. One small nit pick is that her right upper arm looks a bit out of shape.

That's a good remark Scott, I will drape a long cape over her head and shoulders so this will be covered.

Thanks for your reaction my friend.
