Mercy Graves
Posted on July 23, 2016
Difficulty: 
I had made a Mercy Graves custom years ago, but my skills had increased a great deal since then. It was time for a proper and accurate upgrade.
The body and limbs are built on a Wonder Woman base. Lots of sanding and Magic Sculpt changed the shape.
As Glassman was already helping my out with other noggins, I asked for his take on Mercy. He delivered nicely.
Glassman is making copies available to order, so check out his website!
I should point out that I made a mistake on the original body that Glassman has molded. Mercy’s jacket doesn’t allow for cleavage. She effectively has a “uni-boob.” I corrected that on my final version. If you obtain a copy from Glassman, you may want to make the same correction with some epoxy.

Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
your custom looks great!
and Woo hoo! I’m glad to see some new dcau castings. I’m just getting back into things after a long time away, and mercy is one of those characters I’ve always wanted to make. (my excuse was always, “how do I make the hat?” okay, it’s lame, but it was the only excuse I could come up with.)
Thanks for the reminder about glassman – I’d forgotten all about him as a resource!
Thanks! Give Glassman a try. He can get busy, but his castings are worth the wait.
