So we have a relatively new puppy and he is still figuring out what is and isn't edible.

Unfortunately, my previous Archer custom (a Henry Cavill head on an A-Team Face body) became a casualty of the learning curve last week.

Fortunately, I had placed an order a while back for a MTF Agency Ops figure in a gray suit (just to have around) and, since the head from my old Archer survived mostly intact, it was relatively easy to replace him:

Less easy was trying to figure out how to make a worthy version of Lana for him to buddy up with. Here's how that turned out:

Lana's a Shooter head (eyes doctored) on an MU female buck (first version) with Baroness heels and a random belt. I crafted the bottom of the sweater skirt with plastic tape.Not sure where the man hands came from, but they seemed perfect for her.

Here's a shot of them together:

LAAANNNAAA looks great. Archer, there's just something off about him. I don't know if it's the head looking a bit small or the arms looking long (nothing you could do about the arms, since that was the way the figure came). Overall, though, nice! Now do Pam!

she's hot! her tech 9's are also hot :) do you know where those came from?
his head does seem small, not terribly but the hands look huge compared to his head in the together pic. the first pic not so much so maybe some perspective?

I'm guessing the Tec-9s came from Crossbones.

Lana needs bigger hands though... :rolleyes:

I think Starwarsgeek has a Misty Knight head that would work really well for Lana.

These look great. I do see Archer's head looking a little small at least in pics. Great work on Lana.

I used the same head for an earlier take on Archer (also on the Face body) - think I copied the head idea from pluv. Then I got a cast head of a figure I don't know (possibly modded) from an iwbeta trade, and started using it - big improvement scale wise. I have an extra. I'll shoot you a pic.

Great parts combination for Lana.

Thanks for the kind words and astute crits.

I do see the arm issue, now that it's been mentioned. It appears all the MTF suited figs have a case of what my mom used to call monkey arms.

That seems to be contributing to the head size issue, so maybe resolving the latter will downplay the former?

Very interested in knowing what head you used Dennis.
