Making a Misha

I don’t, as a rule, do charity pops. To clarify, I don’t SELL charity pops or profit in any way from them. I have made AKF pops to give away, but won’t even charge shipping. That being said, I had a friend get accepted by Random Acts and I wanted to give her something to commemorate such a huge accomplishment. So below, you will see the Making of a Misha pop.

Step one, Parts.

This took 3 separate pops to put together. A Callum Lynch body for the torso, A Wallace body for the legs and feet (so he could be wearing his flip flops) and a Cas head. The 3 pops were broken down into the parts needed.

Step two, Bracing.

Because the pops were slightly different makes, they needed to be braced to hold together. I drilled holes in each side, and using a heavy gauge wire and glue, lined them up and glued them together. This creates a sturdier body.

Step three, Smoothing.

I wanted Misha to have a Random Acts t-shirt on, so I needed to smooth out the existing shirt. That is done with a Dremel, heat gun, and fine sandpaper until I get it smooth enough to be a t-shirt but leaving enough wrinkles to look more natural.

Step four, Paint.

After gluing, smoothing and drying, he is put together and then painted. I went with a white shirt, jeans and orange sandals. The random acts was hand painted. The head, eyes and brows are all hand painted. The sealing, drying and Misha was ready to go home! A special, personalized gift for a special woman.
