Doll, Card and Blister: My Home-Made Star Maiden's Final Look

 Armed with my baguette blister box I've finally finished my home-made Star Maiden Guard doll on card.

Here's she is complete with new glued-down blister cover.

This decent 12 inch blister does real justice to Wotan Bill's fab repro card art and my home-made doll and clothes.

Its been fun!

Hope you like the final article.

  2. Love it! The triple stripes on the blister side give it a kind of hibernation pod like feel. Well done, Woodsy (& Bill again)!

  3. Brilliant! Looks great. Maybe you could fashion the rest of the series too? You need to finalise The Vichim and her mates now! Bill

  4. Impressive.
    I wouldn't know it was fake, if I saw it in a vintage toy or antique shop.

    An excellent job. It would certainly convince me. The clear plastic blister looks great.

    What a great end result, it looks just like the real thing!
    You and I really are in the same repro groove! I think if we'd been WW2 POWs, we'd be the chaps making convincing official documents. Donald Pleasance in The Great Escape is my Patron Saint!

  8. Another excellent 'build' Woodsy. I recently saw an action figure of fb that showed a blister almost identical to your homemade one.
