Firefly (JLU)
Posted on July 1, 2013
Difficulty: 
Stew worked up most of the head and torso, while I concentrated on the rest. The head and backpack are made from Mattel’s parts, though the backpack was modified to fit the straps, and the head now features the “button” in the left side that Mattel forgot. Stew extended the neck with a Copperhead neck. The straps and torso are standard Mattel parts, slightly modified. The limbs are from a Mattel Joker, with hands from the parts box. The holster and belt details are cut from vinyl. The gun was made from an existing gun piece and styrene. It is permanently attached to the hand, for ease of molding.
Created December 2011
Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Moderate: New and modified parts.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
