Armoury's Paolo Parente's DUST - Koshka



I don't own many female 1:6 characters and here is one of the few. I am a fan of Paolo Parente's DUST artwork but their 1:6 action figure is kinda sub-par. Nevertheless, I managed to buy Koshka sometime back and though she can be better, this is the best money can buy out there at this point of time. Tempted to transfer her gear to a HT True Type Female (TTF) but am thinking where should I tucked all those hair into? Furthermore, a HT TTF doesn't have that cartoony look the original Koshka had... so, I'll let her stay as is for the time being. And the weapon looks like a flare gun instead of a lethal pistol.
The body isn't too good as the elbow can only bend till 90° and there are no ball joint ankle articulation - only up down and swivel around.
Meanwhile enjoy the pictures.

This is the first time I have spent so much energy in Photoshoping all the pictures I am posting in a single post. Also take opportunity to learn more Photoshop tricks since this figure doesn't have many complicated contours that can frustrate a most patience guy. I always believe if you want to post something for the public to see, I better post good pictures rather than straight off the camera shots.
2 more pictures treat :


This last pict looks somewhat like taken off a computer game screenshot :)

I've been "experimenting" with different bodies, and uniform fit, and my best "fit" so far, is an Obitsu soft, large bust body, with Koshka head and uniform. Wrapping the flap-front a little tighter, and scarf placement just right, you can get a good 3/8" of gap, and cleavage peek-a-boo, Paolo P. would want it that way, I think.
