H ere are some work in progress shots of how my Fox-Girl Mod is progressing. I'm using a Liv Doll as a base to work on top of with Magic Sculp epoxy putty.  Having sanded her head thoroughly I've now sprayed her all over using Montana spray-paint in a creamy ivory colour as a base coat. I protected the eyes by carefully adhering some Blu-tac to them, making sure they were covered right into the corners, but allowing the paint as close a coverage to the edges of the eyes as possible.

She needs more sanding and smoothing down before I can paint her. (* Magic Sculp is a two-part air-drying epoxy putty specifically for modelling. It's not dissimilar to Milliput, but I actually prefer it for bei
