Kitbashes and Customizations of Paul McGann Roles

Phoenix, of the X-Men

I made this scaled-down version of a costume I made for myself for a science-fiction convention years ago. The current model is an unmodified Pretty Flowers Barbie. The pin on her sash is a photocopy of the Phoenix emblem colored in with a highlighter. The emblem on her chest is yellow spandex sewn to the black spandex, then detailed with black fabric paint to create the wings, tail, and beak.

Zhaan, of Farscape

This was my first customization. After removing a Mattel Lara doll's hair, I covered the skull with PaperClay to smooth over the holes in the scalp. (Warning before you try this method: The PaperClay is pulling away slightly in a few spots.) I painted her blue and tried to duplicate her pattern of spots from a trading card, the only visual source I had at the time. (Turns out her spots are white, not yellow as they looked in that picture.) I designed and made a new dress for Zhaan. I have dubbed it the "Space MuMu."

Harry Potter

This originally was a Stacy doll. I repainted his eyes and eyebrows, and painted on his scar also. The windswept hairstyle happened by accident when I tried to "boil perm" this reroot. I posed him on a broom from Michael's Crafts to take advantage of that happy accident. I wrote "Nimbus 2000" on the broom handle. The Golden Snitch in his hand is a charm from a necklace. The clothes are part of an outfit for Mattel's Mari. His glasses are also Mattel accessories. I made this doll almost a year before Mattel's Harry Potter dolls came out. I'm noticing a trend - I do a doll, it gets mass produced soon afterwards...

The Woad Warrior

His spear is a twig, some PaperClay sculpted into a spearpoint and painted gray, and a bit of string painted brown (like leather) to cover the border between the two. His leggings are wrapped with leather thongs.

I drew the Celtic knotwork design on his chest freehand with a pencil so I could erase any mistakes, then painted over it when I was happy with the results. It's a triskelion. His armband is an earcuff with a Celtic pattern engraved on it. The torc around his neck is a bit of wire with large beads glued to its ends, then all painted gold, then bent into shape around his neck.
