Many thanks for the kind words so far.
Ok, here come Posette (Nea) and Jena.
Judy and Jena have the same body, so I didn´t include her in the test.
Scaled so that their head sizes match that of Loomis chart, Posette turns out to be 5'8" while Jena is 5'10".
Not perfect , but a lot better than V3.
Jena inherited a bit of "pinheadedness" from Judy, who inherited it from V2 which she was meant to compete with.
Here are both slightly modified:
Posette/NEA´s head was left as is, but I shortened her thighs and shins a bit. I lenghtened the abdomen, and made her arms longer. Nothing drastic, but enough to make her look a bit less "heroic".
Jena got her head scaled up to 102%, and also her thighs and shins shortened. I also added two magnets to lift her sagging shoulders a bit.) Her arms were lenghtend a bit, too.
I scaled the body down a bit so that her head again matches those of the chart and Posette/Nea.
@Ziggie: Lucy Lawless is 5'11", so even she would be dwarfed by a real world V3.
I´m not saying that V3 is "incorrect".
She is correctly proportioned for a 6'3" tall woman.
But if you want to portray an "ideal" or even an average woman, then you cannot use her "as is".
