Wow! Truly amazing sculpt; and a very lifelike paint job by Xenoviper! I may not be Kate's biggest fan, but I wish that sculpt were available.
 
That is a fantastic Kate! Although all that worry and anxiety, man. Something bad's creeping up on her.
 
I wish someone would do a good Ben Linus.

And since you brought this up it got me thinking on the lack of progress I've made on Ben. I started getting the stuff for him WAY back once I heard that he was next for Andy to sculpt. However, since we're all still waiting he just stands behind Jack and Locke (and now a headless Sawyer) with a paper face. :(

But I never liked the way the clothes fit the Slim TT and I knew sooner or later I'd have to do some mods. Tonight was apparently that night. My first foray into modding any clothing and I think it went pretty well. I didn't venture into the basement to get the sewing machine though. Next time I think I'll cross that bridge.

This is the before. Pretty baggy on all counts. The pants had the be hyked up to his nipples the crotch was so low.

So tonight I sliced the back of the shirt in half up to the collar, and took about a half inch or so off, and sewed it back up. Doesn't look to pretty from the back, but that'll never be seen.

I also raised the inseam of the pants and took the slimmed the legs up a bit.

I think it looks LOADS better. Might do another leg slimming though. They still seem a little baggy.

That's a real nice job on the Ben getup, Beeshaw! I can't wait to see a possible Ben sculpt from Andy.
 
Thanks! I try not to get TOO specific. More 'the essence' of type of thing. So there really isn't a season I was going for. Just 'Ben'. :)
 
I was chasing a stripped shirt originally, but I was worried it would look too much like a pajama shirt. Lol If I can find one with thin enough stripes I might jump on it. I don't mind modding it again for the ten minutes it took me.
 
Actually Terry O' Quinn that plays Locke is in pretty good shape for his age. I never noticed a big belly on him during LOST. Maybe a slight "paunch", but nothing that bad.
