Storm Cat

This kit started out as the Toy Biz Storm kit from their Marvel Superheroes line. While the upper torso was mostly viable, the oversized feet inspired me to attempt a conversion into some kind of "beast woman."

After doing the basic assembly work, I removed the heels from the boots.
I also opted to forego the wild mane of hair that the model came with.
I then attempted to fill in the boot seams in her legs.
Using a razor saw, I cut "toes" into the feet.
I added the knife belt and sheaths to give the figure a little more "realism." They were made from strips of electrical tape and pieces of sheet styrene.
The tail is made from a piece of sprue which was heated and bent to the appropriate shape. When done, it was super glued to her posterior.
her "braid" was made from a piece of the original model's cuff trim which was glued to the nape of the neck.
The feline ears were a final, but necessary(to my mind at least) touch. They were formed of paper glued to the scalp which formed a based for the clay that I used to sculpt the actual sahpe of the ear.

Appropraiate colors were added, and Voila!
