As I developed my series of 3D printed Bombshell figures, I knew I wanted to include Watchmen’s original Silk Spectre.

Marko Ramljak is talented 3D artist. I used his articulated female files as a base point for this whole series of figures. There are several sets of files for articulated ladies out there, but I prefer Marko’s the most as the overall shape is more natural than many of the others. His joints and engineering are less distracting. The fact that the basic construction is very similar to DC Direct’s Bombshell figures doesn’t hurt either!

I did make a few digital changes to Markos’ files, using my rudimentary skills. I altered the thighs to include the stocking tops.

Marko’s files are meant to be pinless, but in the standard size Bombshells, I found there wasn’t enough “real estate” in most of the joints to hold. So I added holes and used styrene rods as pins.

The chest is a scan of the DC Direct Poison Ivy Bombshell figure. (Scanning services provided by Funky Maclunkey.) Silk Spectre’s head comes from a random file I found online. The skirt also comes from a random sculpt. I stole and modified the boots from a Catwoman sculpt. Waste nothing!

Printed using Resione Anti-Impact resin. (I find it has qualities very similar to plastic used in manufactured figures.) Printed on an Elegoo Jupiter.

I’m not going to lie. It took a LOT of work to get this far. Numerous rounds of test printing and adjusting. What I have is still not perfect, but I can at least build some figures now.

A heartfelt thanks to all the folks that helped make this project possible.
