Coolness.
I cut and partly straightened the right leg on mine and also chopped the shoulders so I can make the arms outward a bit.
Still needs to be filled in though.
Also chopped the hands since as you mentioned in another thread that they are a bit manly and large.
I'll either try to scratch new ones or use some from another kit.

chopping the legs actually sounds like a great idea in hindsight as there is no way she is going to sit on that plinth that comes with the kit.
she is one big hunk of resin and i'm sure of the best way to display her as only one leg would be able to be used to support her, which is less than idea. I think i'll just have drill a deep hole in her support leg and put some sort of iron rod in there.
yeah she has manly hands alright but having faffed about with this kit for so long i decided to try and finish it rather than going for the scratch build option...maybe one day i'll go back but i doubt it.

With the weight of it the metal support rod is the way to go.
After repositioning the leg forward more at the knee she can be placed with her foot on a small bit of debris or something.
I had mine standing with the foot on the edge of my bathroom sink that has a raised lip without any support.
I was planning to try the one foot landing pose after whacking Viktor even thought the wrong leg is bent.
If I can't get her to stay at a slight backwards angle I will have her walking over broken stones.
Are you going with the sword or guns?

i'm opting for guns as i didn't like the way my sword looks, i'm not sure if the handle is supposed to have a section missing from it or not but i wasn't very happy with it's appearance.

Yeah the sword is crunchy. This is what it should look like.  Also the guns are wrong for the outfit. Should be the P99 not the Berettas. The Berettas where at the beginning of the movie.  E... |

well looking at those pictures of the sword i can tell you that one half of the horizontal hand guard is missing on mine hence the reason that i opted for the guns.
thanks for the close-ups on the guns at least i have a better idea of what they should look like.
Merry Christmas!
