Minut depicted in the box art. The video details my efforts and limited success.<\/p>\n<h2>Modifications To The Kit<\/h2>\n<p>This is the most I have ever customized a model and the process was as often challenging and frightening as it was fun and exciting. I don&#8217;t know if I would have been so bold had I not another set standing by.<\/p>\n<p>I am happy with the end result but likely should have shaved the model head down more to accommodate the bulk of the hair. I also meant to add long nails and, in the end, lazed out.<\/p>\n<p>The putty in the butt (pardon me) was added to stabilize the obviously top-heavy piece. This was likely a mistake as the added weight of the putty put an awful strain on the ankles, necessitating the base. Had I it to do over (say &#8211; I do!) I&#8217;d fill the feet, not the butt.<\/p>\n<p>I also lightly back-filled the face with putty prior to filing and shaping.<\/p>\n<h2>Wade A. Minut &#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>At various stages throughout the process, I was tempted to either stop or change direction &#8211; then I remembered the second run of the model in the box.
