I haven’t done a 1:6 scale me for years. Anneka Elizabeth was sort of one, but the one I’m thinking of is was from like 2002. It was a blond helo Jane base, customized as follows:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I used colored pencil to redo the eyebrows, widen the mouth, and add my distinctive facial moles and scars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I sculpted short spiky hair with modeling paste, painted it ex-blond, and put glitter in it. [Glitter appeared in a lot of my customs at that stage — I also did a drag queen with individual pieces of glitter for each sparkly nail…!]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I sliced a foam earplug in half lengthwise and glued it to the crotch for the appropriate bulge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I painted a gold band around one of its fingers and used a red bead to simulate my ruby ring [later tragically lost \ud83d\ude41 ].<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I repainted some clunky black Ken shoes tan to represent my most frequently worn footwear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I commissioned Andrea to make a white poet’s blouse integrated with a black vest decorated with flames. She also made a cape. I found some black Ken pants to use for the bottoms.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Of all of these pieces, only the shirt\/vest remains in my possession. [I also have lots of foam earplugs, but not glued down action figures’ pants. :p ]<\/p>\n

A recent thread on Figurvore about 1:6 scale dolls of oneself got me thinking that, with the cheap 3-D printed likenesses available from purveyors like actionfigure2002,<\/a> along with my advanced skills [?] in body mods and clothing construction, I could totally make a decent mini me!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The head would be a 3D print from actionfigure2002. I just need to get someone to take photos of me, preferably after I’ve just shaved my head. I would probably enhance the print to make it look more caricature-like.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The body would be a DML male body, preferably in the light pink skintone [as opposed to the brownish orange they seem to favor]. I’d need to hack down arms, legs, and torso to approximate my height and then break out the Aves Apoxie Sculpt for appropriate fat distribution.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can definitely make a shirt for it. Not sure about pants.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It would actually be pretty easy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I haven’t done a 1:6 scale me for years.
