've been wanting to do a conversion of my Starling kit for some time, and I'm finally underway on it. Since the likeness is Jodie Foster from Silence of the Lambs I thought why not take a casting and convert it into radio astronomer Ellie Arroway, the heroine of another great movie, Contact. I removed the hair and the suit and resculpted new hair and the armored vest she wears just before she enters the Machine. This was a fun project, but it turned out to be a lot of work. Want to see how I did it? Visit the Workshop.
