Tank Girl -- Prepwork II-Shorts

As with any figure, each miniaturist will invariably have “quibbles” over the design and engineering of their particular subject. Some are valid. . . most are not. However, I do have one rather significant “quibble” that should not be disregarded: the figure is wearing braces (suspenders) and a g-string/ thong!

To what, pray tell, might the braces be attached???!!! I suppose that, conceivably, they might be clipped to the waist string; but that doesn’t quite make sense—if for no other reason than why would you need braces to hold-up a g-string?!

It’s this artistic lapse that has prompted the main item on my TDL: sculpt a pair of short shorts on TG's front, while leaving her gluteals exposed. As to the textured cummerbund (the source illustration depicts it as a wrapped US flag), I am interpreting this as a somewhat frayed elastic bandeau top that TG has pulled down around her waist before strapping-on her bike-chain belt.

The shorts have been sculpted [MS], and are now in the process of being detailed/finished. . .

When the cost of a hobby exceeds the fun and doesn't attract new people, the game is over.” -
