How can I make Movie 1 Arcee more feminine? Also, hole in Blackarachnia's neck.

I've started shooting photo-comics of my toys as a hobby, but sadly Arcee, one of my favorite subjects, is so kibbly that it makes her a bit hard to work with. I'm willing to buy a second one and strip her of her alt mode to make her more photogenic......basically I would like to know how I'd do that without damaging her (other than, you know, removing the kibble).


As a bonus question, you can see RIGHT through that hole in Animated Blackarachnia's neck, and shooting from an angle to hide it restricts me something awful. Anyone know a good way to fill up the gap without restricting her neck posability at all? For instance, is there a type of putty I could get to fill it that wouldn't stand out, wouldn't dry out and harden, and wouldn't damage her paint job or plastic?

Hrmm, you could probably manage to find some generic silly putty at walmart or at the dollar tree that would work. Then its just a matter of mixing food coloring in it to match the color tone. Its also fairly easy to remove once your done.

Bumping this, as I still haven't really gotten an answer. I'm worried that food colored silly-putty with rub off on Blackarachnia's paint, so I'd like to hear more before I try that. I also would still like advice on how to alter Arcee. Should I just take an exacto-knife to the bits I don't want? Will I need any other tools?

If you are worried about ruining BA,then you can always use a Playdoh that is close to her color,that shouldn't hurt it.

Get you a dremel to cut off the unwanted pieces on Arcee.

You can pick up a rechargeable one for $20,Black and Decker has a rotary tool aka a Dremel,for $25.

In other words,you can get them for pretty cheap.I also believe that Harbor Freight has a rotary tool for about $15.

Don't believe we have those stores near here, but it sounds like a price I'd go for. What would be the more likely place to have a good cheap one; Michael's craft store or Home Depot?

Got the tools, finished the mods, and made a couple extra ones to fix her up and increase her posablity. Anyone think I should post it up?
