No one will make or sculpt a 3D head.

It's unfortunate. Lou, but this is such a minor character, it wouldn't make them enough money to make it worth while to make it. M suggestion is for you to find a local college art student and see if they could make You a sculpted head. That's what I am doing. Try that and let me know how it works out for You.

Cheers!

Good news. I found someone to provide a head either painted or unpainted.

I need a picture of her head from behind.


This is for 1/9 scale, but I.m sure he can do 1/6 scale too. For simplicity, I asked for the hair to be sculpted rather than plugged. Keep you posted....

Hot Diggety Dog, Lou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please P.M.me with the link and amount as I would like to get a Deanna Durbin head for my 1943 Bat Girl figure.

You might have to look for screen caps or try to take one with Your camera or phone Yourself. It's not difficult. I've done it with a camera years ago when I made my original "Battlestar Pegasus" helm crest. My only mistake I made was making the actualcrest about 1/16th too big. Not even the BG actors noticed the difference.

Here are a few angles on Jill that may be useful for your sculptor, Lou.

Ben, these are great. He's done some Star Trek Women too. I asked if he's done a Joan Collins as that's a favorite for Siren fans

Hi Lou, Hi Ben. Yes, I know Andy. He's a GREAT guy!!!!!!!! I'm sorry that I didn't think of him earlier. I think that He's the one who does the Andy Fish Cat Woman (from Andy's Bat Man vs. Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster Halloween Poster). I might have him make me a Deanna Durbin head next year for my 1940 Bat Girl design.

Cheers!

I received a picture of the first draft. According to Andy, "Hair needs major work, smirk is off, and eyes and eyebrows need adjustments, but the shape of the face is good, and the nose and chin are right." The finer details are being developed. Fascinating process.

The Playmates' 9" Edith Keeler from "Star Trek" works well as a Siren. I shortened her torso.

Needs a lopsided smirk, not that pinched smile. Upper lids need to be bigger and slightly thicker, eyebrows slightly higher above eyes.

Like SVL mentioned, the smile and proportions/scale of the eyes and lids.
