GEAUX SAINTS!
Hi fellow SSF board members! I'm very excited and happy to announce the completion of my newest ALIENS custom 1/6 scale figure! Introducing Rebecca Jorden....or as she preferred to be called "Newt"!
After showing her first to "figuremasterles" Les Walker, he gave me his kind approval of her. I am very proud and happy with her! It took some work collecting the parts for her. They included the Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace 1/6 scale child Anakin Skywalker figure, some Super Sculpey to make her hair, the hardest part to find...the overalls! I had to get them from the recent "John Deere Barbie" outfit set. Then I just painted over Anakin's light brown shirt, and dirtied it up with some dark washes of gray color. I also cut holes in the knees of the overalls like Newt had in the movie, and then painted the overalls to look worn out and dirty. I had to paint the big clunky Anakin boots since they were the same light brown color as his shirt. I also painted many layers of color into her hair to make it look dirty, and matted. I didn't want her to have perfectly clean blonde hair, becuase she didn't. She became quite the "tunnel rat" hiding from the ALIENS! Here's some more pictures of Newt holding Ripley's hand in the middle of all of my marines with the new power loader behind them. I still have a few things to do for her like painting Newt's name on her figure stand and get the "Casey" doll head she carried with her.
I'd appreciate your reviews, comments, thoughts about my Newt! Sure, I would definitely buy a Newt if Hot Toys ever made her someday. But who knows IF they ever will? If they don't I will always have a Newt I'm proud of making myself.
